Words Matter: Monthly Community Conference Call: November 2018
Using generative language to create powerful results
with Tony Zampella
Tony’s research unlocks and accesses the generative (or creative) properties of language that can help people and organization explore their lives, and interpret their environments.
As humans, we adopt a relationship to language as descriptive, analytical, or generative; either to describe, understand or create reality. Our relationship to language, therefore, shapes our awareness, agency, and action.
Generative (and creative) language is critical to coaching because it adopts a future-orientation that integrates intention, action and accountability.
