A Philosophical Stance
Ways of being and becoming‘with’(not a technique or method)
• An orientation, posture, attitude and tone that reflects a practitioner’s ways of being and becoming in relationship and conversation with people, including a way of thinking, talking, acting, and being responsive with them.
• In action, the heart of the stance is engagement in mutual or shared inquiry about the issues at hand.
• Consistent with this view, the stance becomes a philosophy of life—a worldview that does not separate professional and personal.
