Alan this is a bit similar to where I am at present, geographically also - not far away in Perth, WA
I have been invited into association with a consulting/training group - and wish to be identified as an 'Open Spacer' - they currently list me as a Facilitator and Consultant which speaks to them and their clients in familiar language I am wishing to be more overtly Open Space tho not wishing to limit myself to that process I may settle for Open Space Facilitator and Consultant Brendan Perth At 08:32 AM 25-04-02 +0930, you wrote:
Hi All A consulting company in Adelaide has recently invited me to join them as an associate. This arises through their coming to appreciate that OST provides a way forward in the kind of projects in which they are - and hope to be - engaged. Two queries: . What does one call oneself in such a circumstance? Open Space Facilitator and the name I use on occasion 'Professional Conversationalist' are not sufficiently familiar - yet - in this part of our little planet. A lovely possibility which a friend recently suggested 'Collaborateur' is also not likely to receive ready acceptance - yet. Any ideas? . Does anyone have experience of OST for regional consultations, in their broadest sense? Regional in Australia tends to mean 'country' (as opposed to 'city') or 'non urban' areas. The group which has approached me wishes to gain a foothold in consulting on diverse projects in such areas. Good to converse, with love Alan Adelaide
