Hi Eric:
Not sure what to say... first ever national school on leadership for
non-profit sector.
Held in BC, Alberta, Northwest Territories. Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia
Arising out of the Voluntary Sector Initiative's National Learning
Initiative... addressing identified needs and challenges to leadership in
the sector...
I can share more but, perhaps, it's best done by individual requests rather
than whole listserv communications?
For example, I could send some docs with more description and/or an article
I wrote which was published in the National Storytelling Network's
Storytelling in Organizations electronic newsletter...
Let me know what you want / need and I'll do my best to provide it!
Glory :-)

Hi Glory,
Could you write more about this leadership school for the non profit
sector?

Thanks Doug!
Your appreciation (keep it comin' bro - lol) stimulated me into
remembering another meaningful story about OS/OST...
In my work developing and delivering a pan-Canadian (schools held across
the country) leadership school for the non-profit sector, Open Space
Technology was extensively used in conjunction with story circles, which
we called 'Great Conversations'.
One result was that leaders participating from the Canadian far north
began to see how their personal and organizational visions connected to
each other and to the larger community. As a result, they are now
pursuing a territorial coalition/network across non-profit sub-sectors
with a focus on "building healthy communities." This was determined to be
the focus that would potentially include the largest group of non-profits
organizations possible.
This group also had a breakthrough concerning challenges around
collaborating with the aboriginal peoples of the area (which has been
historically unsuccessful - think silos). They came to realize that they
needed to listen more to the aboriginal stories before offering their
own - and to learn from their experience rather than assume that had
something to teach.
