Finding Unity and Solutions Beyond “Either/Or” Dynamics

Polarized “either/or” thinking can create tension and distrust, for example, between those who want change and those who want to maintain the status quo or between the desire for autonomy/flexibility and the need for consistent rules. Polarities can polarize a group and develop into “us/them” dynamics.

At the NH Business for Social Responsibility Spring Conference, Beth Tener will offer a training in Polarity Mapping, a remarkably simple approach to working with polarities that allows people to transcend this dynamic and find win-win solutions and a sense of unity. We will practice applying the method with the current challenges of participants. Once you learn this way of thinking, you will find many places to apply it, both at work and in your personal life.

The conference theme is Aligned and Amplified: The Strength of Local Collaboration. This all-day gathering will be held May 14th in Concord, NH. It also includes:

• Many other workshops
• A keynote with Shaylyn Romney Garrett is a writer and changemaker pursuing connection, community, and healing in a fragmented world.
• An interactive Community Solutions Lab that will engage participants from across the state on solutions for challenges such as housing, child care, public education and energy.
