Becoming practiced in Quiet Voice Methodology (QVM)
Place Based
It captures and uses ALL aspects of place. The built and natural environment, inc. skies, waterways, viewpoints/topography. Its heritage and, of course, the people.
Transactional
It recognises and understands that ALL relationships are "transacted". Not in a financial sense but in a behavioural one. QVM asks are they really "hard-to-reach" or is the way I'm starting this conversation pushing them into a "quiet voice" reaction?
Reflective
It constantly asks the question WHO IS NOT HERE? What is our role in that? What aren’t we doing and, more importantly, what are we doing that’s wrong?
