Marchand's book begins from a quiet diagnosis: communication has multiplied while genuine inquiry has retreated. We rarely pause, she argues, to examine the basic assumptions and perceptions that shape our choices before we act on them. Her response is practical and relational: six invitations that together constitute a dialogic practice. Accept that we are all related. Listen with one's whole being. Suspend assumptions. Question with warmth and curiosity. Honour the power of words and of silence. Co-create new meaning. Each invitation asks something of the self before it asks anything of the group. Marchand brings to this work a doctorate in adult education, with research focused on group dialogue as a means of developing reflective capacity; experience as a senior executive in Canada's public sector; an associate professorship in the Department of Management at Laval University; and training as a therapist at Toronto's Gestalt Institute. The book is available from all major international booksellers.
