Preface: In the physical world, all matter is held together by the pull between opposite electric charges. Likewise, successful companies are magnetic-- people connect in new and innovative ways; suppliers and customers are pulled together and become seamless edge-to-edge organizations. Communities of interest form and are pulled together by shared values. Knowledge networks form as catalysts for innovation and creativity.
Magnetic Connections

Magnetic Connections (continued)
A. Think of a time when you felt �magnetically� connected to your client, your colleagues, and your community … connected in a way that the force was so strong that it could not be broken. What was that experience? What did it feel like?
B. As you look into the future, describe how you see us connected to our customers and our colleagues — in ways that are so strong that we are seen as inseparable business partners?
![Page 16: Slides David Cooperrider Pre-Conference #2012WAIC (part 2)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051513/54633213b4af9f711c8b4abd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Surprise of Friendship!
One could say a key task in life is to discover and define our life purpose, and then accomplish it to the best of our ability.
A. Can you share a story of a moment, or the period of time, where clarity about life purpose emerged for you. For example, a moment where your calling happened, where there was an important awakening or teaching, where there was a special experience or event, or where you received some guiding vision?
B. Now, what do you sense you are supposed to do…rest of your life?

Revolutionary Partnerships ! The mark of a revolutionary partnership is doing things radically
different together. Not only different, but quicker, with a common focus, leveraging each other�s diverse strength. Also, establishing new ways of doing business that are based on trust, mutual respect and a shared vision.
! Think of a time when you were part of a revolutionary
partnership, a time in your life – at work, or in your personal or community life, when you not only met the other person(s) half way, but met and exceeded needs on both sides. Describe the situation in detail.
– What made it feel radically different? – Who was involved? – How did you interact differently? – What were the outcomes and benefits you experienced?

Engagement & Energy
A. Tell me about a time when you experienced positive energy that was infectious. What was the situation? What created the positive energy? How did it feel to be a part of it? What did you learn?

We Live in the Worlds Our Questions Create
Be patient … and try to love the questions themselves. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
– Rainer Maria Rilke
