Blue/Orange Activity • Directions: • Locate the set of blue and orange post-its. • Choose one of the post-its and reflect upon an example within your DKG experience that connects with the card color you chose. How did this impact your DKG membership/leadership? • Find a partner and share your blue/orange card examples.
Opportunities are everywhere, but nothing happens Until intentional invitations are sent.
Invitational Philosophy originates from Invitational Education and is a democratically-based self-concept theory for working with people and constructing positive organizational cultures.
Invitational Leadership Assumptions Four assumptions offer a consistent “stance” through which humans can create and maintain an optimally inviting environment: • Respect • Trust • Optimism • Intentionality
Respect People are able, valuable, and responsible and should be treated accordingly.
Trust DKG membership should be a cooperative, collaborative activity where process is as important as product.
Optimism People possess untapped potential in all worthwhile human endeavor.
Intentionality Human potential can best be realized by creating and maintaining Places, Policies, Processes, and Programs, specifically designed to invite development, and by People who are intentionally inviting with themselves and others, personally and professionally.
Levels of Functioning Invitational Education identifies four levels of functioning in personal and professional living: • Intentionally Disinviting • Unintentionally Disinviting • Unintentionally Inviting • Intentionally Inviting
Intentionally Disinviting Deliberately discouraging Busy with other obligations Focused on others’ shortcomings
Unintentionally Disinviting Well-meaning, but condescending Obsessed with policies and procedures Unaware of others’ feelings
Unintentionally Inviting Well-liked and reasonably effective Inconsistent and uncertain in decision-making
Intentionally Inviting Optimistic, respectful, and trustworthy Able to affirm, yet guide others
