Share and listen! Here’s more you’ll want to know about the T.alking Stick

Now, the T.alking Stick holds a weight. The weight symbolises your right to speak and your obligation to remain silent while others hold the stick.

The idea of a T.alking Stick is inspired by Native American wisdom:

  1. The T.alking Stick symbolises the right to speak, exclusively held by the person in possession of the stick, while others must maintain silence.
  2. To acquire the right to speak, one must actively listen to the individual holding the T.alking Stick and accurately restate their viewpoint.
  3. Only when the holder of the T.alking Stick believes that you fully understand their perspective, will they pass on the stick.
  4. The next person holding the T.alking Stick continues to express their own views, following the above steps until everyone comprehends and shares their opinions.

Next, please observe the engraving on each side of the stick, as each design has its own meaning, altogether giving the stick a special and beautiful significance!

Orca

The Orca is the mascot of Titansoft. His name is Tica, combining the words Titansoft and Orca. The Orca is both independent and a team player, with a strong sense of curiosity and learning —  just like the Titaners: a team player who values teamwork over individual heroism, and continues to improve (#NeverStopImproving)!

Eagle Feather

Eagles are viewed as sacred and powerful animals. The eagle’s feather symbolises the freedom of speech that comes with this sacred power, the freedom to soar high with wings and take control of your destiny. When you hold on to the T.alking Stick, let it inspire you to share your views with strength and determination!

Sapphire

The sapphire is a gemstone of spiritual power and significance, representing truth and wisdom, allowing us to have the independence to think and the empathy to listen. This wisdom allows us to appreciate the diversity of our perspectives and to listen to each other’s voices.

Rainbow

The rainbow is a symbol of peace, unity and diversity, and a bridge that connects us to each other. With freedom of expression, we should maintain our independence of thought while building the rainbow bridge of empathy and listening. By respecting the diversity of voices, we can create an environment that embraces all voices and communicates harmoniously.

Shell

A shell is strong, quietly protecting the pearls inside it, all of which hold a unique value. In the freedom of expression, let us respect each other, listen to each other with empathy, and let our thoughts weave together in a beautiful way. Let the power of the shell remind us to calmly explore and embrace diverse perspectives, and together create a rich and inclusive work environment.

Glass Sphere

The transparency and reflection of light on the glass sphere symbolises wisdom, clear thinking and insight. In the freedom of speech, we should maintain our independence of thought, as transparent and pure as a glass sphere. At the same time, we should shine the light on others with empathy and inspire each other. Let the wisdom of the glass ball lead us to reveal the truth with clear insights!

Theory U

Theory U is inclusive and open, linking freedom of speech, independence of thought and empathy. In an environment of free speech, we are enriched by a diversity of perspectives, and with independent thinking and empathy as the foundation, we are able to transcend our differences, seek consensus, and work together to create a more inclusive and harmonious space for dialogue.


Now, we’ve understood the design philosophy behind the T.alking Stick! The stick is passed from person to person, and as we learn to speak, we also learn to listen humbly to the stories of others, so that the stick can become a symbol of shared knowledge and understanding, uniting our strengths with each other’s voices and moving towards a better future together.
