Re: persuading others to try OST

[Bui K. Petersen]

Hi Jack, Thanks for your suggestions which I think would be very useful when talking to clients/sponsors. My concern is that in the situation I currently am in, nobody really cares what kind of expertise I have, nor am I in any position of power. I am just a "regular" parent who is trying to "sell" the idea of OST to the whole group. So I guess I am looking for a short illustration that may get people excited about doing something different. Something that will get them to say: "YES!! I wish we could something like that at our school". So if anyone has been in a similar situation, or knows of a short illustrative example, I would very anxious to hear about that. Thanks, Búi Jack Ricchiuto wrote: Great question Bui. Here are some of the questions we typically asks clients/sponsors to get them excited about a possible OS event/process: Do you want to hear in a single space what people are thinking, feeling, talking and not talking about in other spaces? Do you want to give decision influencers and makers on this topic an opportunity to understand the honest complexities and subtleties of the topic? Do you want to give people the opportunity to connect together on new ideas and alternatives to existing practices? Do you want to help the community get to new levels of conversation beyond where they are today? Be well, Jack -- Jack Ricchiuto Leadership coach, facilitator, author Just Released!
