Relational meetings

“A relational meeting as an encounter that is face-to-face – one to one – for the purpose of exploring the development of a purposeful relationship. You’re searching for talent, energy, insight and relationships…. Without hundreds and thousands of such meetings, people cannot forge lasting public relationship based on solid social knowledge or build lasting citizens organisations. Properly understood, it’s not a science, not a technique, but an art form. It’s one organised spirit going after another person’s spirit for connection, confrontation, and an exchange of talent and energy.” (Edward T Chambers, ‘Roots to Power’)
