Hi Marei,
I guess that I wrote that in a way that could be misunderstood. If
anything my problem is more one of having had to high expectation of my
ability to influence others with my "good" ideas. People are usually
not that easily influenced by other's "good" ideas. If you are a
newcomer to a group and otherwise don't hold a powerful position,
people are just going to be more sceptical. What I have learned is that
when proposing an idea, it is more effective if I don't attach the idea
to me as a person but rather propose it as an idea that I have learned
about and can back it up with some examples. It is also fact that I
don't yet have any personal experience with OST to refer to.
But I don't doubt that there always more internal work we can do be
more effective. I did not know about method you mentioned and I will
look more into it.
Thanks for suggesting it,
Búi

Hello
dear Bui,
allow me to
go right to the point I want to make:
In your email
below you I heard you express some beliefs about yourself: "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
understand that this is your experience and that you feel powerless and
not heard.
From my understanding and learning during the
last years I found that it all starts with myself and my believing in
being able to communicate my message. As long as we
see ourselves as powerless and unable to win others ~ that continues
happening. And probably no wording or conscious strategy might be able
to change this experience.
I
found that the key to my personal power is my subconscious beliefs. And
in 2006 I had the great joy to learn the most powerful method I have
found so far for changing subconscious beliefs. This method is called
PSYCH-K.
My
first experience with this I had in 2005 in Halifax at the OSonOS when
I got a taster of it through another OS facilitator. In January
2006 I took the PSYCH-K Basic Course and in February the Advanced. And
this that time my life has changed in an amazing pace. I have left
behind more self-limiting beliefs than I can count. I have been asked
in to do Open Space at the administration of the city I live in
(someone working there found me at our "Stammtisch"). I am finally able
to charge fees that feel appropriate for my skills. And I use "The Law
of Attraction" in other most powerful ways.
Also I know there is a PSYCH-K Workshop in
Vancouver in May, 5-6. If you want to enlargen your impact on the world
around you I suggest that you check this method out and then see how
you are being heard and understood. Details on the Vancouver Workshop
are here: http://wisdomways.net/PsychK/WorkshopSchedule.asp
By
the way, this workshop is taught by Richard Schultz, like me an Open
Space facilitator and Genuine Contact trainer.
The
official PSYCH-K Webpage is www.psych-k.com.
There is also a book and a DVD to get a first impression.
All
the best to you,
Marei

i...@mareikiele.de • www.mareikiele.deHi 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

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
