Chris: I read your story with great interest. What I hear you asking is did you do it right, to which I would say, sure. How do we grow unless we explore the edges? As to whether or not to try this again is totally up to you. My bottom line is that it is always good to have people engaged in conversations about those things that are important to them. I admire your courage to be willing to try new things, and I appreciate learning from what you do. And yes, I have been involved in some discussions when facilitating, but that usually happens when my passion is uncontainable.
Thanks, Dave Koehler
