Have you checked out our developing YOU TUBE channel??
It’s called “BARBER and GONZALES COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATIONS”. Yeah, not a real exciting name, but I think you will find the content worthwhile and enriching your of your own experience and learning curve with the INTEREST BASED APPROACH to operationalizing a positive sum method of decision making.
We will be posting “deep dives” into the various principles of the approach, interviews with people who are utilizing the model in a variety of situations, PLUS some outright “lecturettes” on the principles, practices, and techniques of graphic facilitation.

Real, actual, in the moment collaborative negotiations oblige the parties, whether there are two or twenty, to commit to and practice a collection of simple principles and kinetic processes which operationalize those principles.

Worthy of a visit! A very special place. My first job out of TUHS in ‘64 I was a firefighter for KCFD. Working a lighting caused fire at the then San Emigio Ranch with their Cowboys showing us the way to the fire and helping us in so many other ways is a memory I will always treasure.

Join us for a FREE family-friendly event packed with fun and discovery! Explore our engaging educational booths and connect with the natural wonders of the preserve while learning about plants, conservation, animal defenses, skull identification, and more! There's something for everyone to enjoy—don’t miss out! Booth activities will run continuously from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Saturday, December 7th, 2024 at the Crossing (near the restrooms).
