Re: Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

thanks Joelle - great suggestion - this is indeed a good option to include in the sponsor's opening address - I like the intentional articulation of what is available in any case - somehow the public naming of it really makes it more accessible to all Cheers Brendan Another approach to pro

Re: Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

Good point Harrison - my feeling is that some may have been there for reasons other than the sponsor's specific invitationmaybe because they thought they'd better show up rather than miss something, maybe because they had vested, personal interests in the outcomes, maybe because they wanted

Re: Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

Brendan - I often think of OS as a Rorschach test - the kind they give you to find out if you are nuts. There is no content, just ink blots, and you fill in the content. What you see is what you got. And if the passion isn't there, that is obvious. Sounds to me like the OS worked just fine, and tha

Sorry for not answering this, Tree. When I read it, I got so excited that anybody could do that stuff and ask these deep down very important questions – I could hardly breathe! So I sent it to my best thinking-mate and we enjoyed together that these things happen But – and here comes the shame -

Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

After a recent 2.5 day OS with a diverse group of 35 people, from different (international) organisations and from about 10 different nationalities, the sponsor made the following comments in his reflection of the process: We are still working on some of the details on the follow up to the me

Re: test

Maybe "test" was not the best word, as it suggests pass or fail. I am told that an elephant, when separated from his herd, makes a purring sound in his voice box that reverberates through his body. Other members of the herd, if they can hear him, purr back. Next time I will say "purr".

Re: Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

Brendan -- sounds to me that you all did "workshop" the issue/question, and it just took a little longer than you anticipated. Interestingly, I have never had the problem you describe. Folks always know what they are talking about -- or at least think they are talking about -- if not they would not

Re: breathing

Dear Florian, I will miss your contributions and will hold space for your return. Your deep breath is a courageous reminder to me that being externally engaged is not the only way to open space. Sometimes we need to return to that point of stillness at the turning of the breath. Here is

Re: Warm Ups, Kick Starting Slow Starters

Brendan-- More often than not, the leader who opens the space does a good job of clarifying the question in their opening remarks. But I did encounter this issue when I worked with two organizations, one that provides support to foster children and foster parents, and one that works with ado
