Harrison! What a book! (long)

[Elena A. Marchuk]

Yes, Birgitt, 
I was thinking of the same, but our workshops ARE moving our people as they move them to THINK, and to DO what they THINK is better. the very unusual behavour for Russians... And you are right, we are just trying to create conditions, but that is not easy, as this conditions are very difficult to create...

Thank you 
Best wishes

Elena

  Hello Elena,
  I wonder if any of us can "move us for a better society"? For me, I think that what we as individuals can do is to create the conditions for health and balance so that the individuals in any system/society can move themselves. They seize their own power through their passion, responsibility. And through their will for health. I think we work with Spirit/energy/mental/emotional/physical wholeness to create the conditions and to sustain the conditions over the  long time and despite the apparent obstacles and barriers. And as the creators of the conditions, holding steady, it is important not to engage in content, or to sit with any judgement, so that the individuals and the collective of individuals can find their own way.
   
  I wish you much success and joy with your work in your beautiful country.
  Birgitt

  Mentoring for Organizational Effectiveness
  *********************************************************
  For ongoing professional development, join us for training in the Genuine Contact Program for exceptional results in organizational effectiveness. Training dates for 2001 are noted below. Training can also be brought into an organization at other times.

  Those completing all four components of the Genuine Contact Program meet the requirements to attend the "train the trainer" session of four days, resulting in authorization to use the Genuine Contact Program for "in-house" training of teams.

  The Genuine Contact program is a program for building skill and capacity within the organization, for working with change. It is designed to keep external consultant involvement to a minimum, providing training and mentoring work only, so that working with change is led from within the organization. Leaders within an organization are taught to develop and use an operating system in which business is conducted with genuine contact at all levels on an ongoing basis. Upon completion of the sixteen days of training, the leaders are authorized to teach others within the organization, in an ongoing internal process, until the new operating system is functioning fully in a growthful and effective way. During year one, during and following the initial training, a consultant to the organization coaches and mentors this "in-house" team as the "in-house" team leads the change process for its own organization.


  Training components of the Genuine Contact  Program are 1. Working with Open Space Technology (4 days); 2. Working with Whole Brain Process Facilitation (2 days); 3. Working with Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution (2 days); 4. Advanced Work in Open Space Technology focusing on the Open Space Organization (4 days); and 5. Train the trainer in the Genuine Contact  program (4 days).

    I've just returned from Rubtsovsk, where I really used the words of expanding our now and your nice discovery, 
     
    people there were very happy that they stay for 3 days woriking together and feel like a family. isn't it great for a city? people from the city administration worked all 3 days (there were not much, but still -4 if I remember correctly) and from the city Counsil - 2 and from NGOs and brilliant youth, and educational people - such an unusual stuff for all their meetings - and they work nicely, 

    and hope they can go further... what a people and what a situation!

    I really don't know where to start to move us for better society... probably I just can not do this, but I try to do some steps at least with the help of your words - passion and responsibility. I've heard them back in a feedback in the closing session, so it works....
     
    OK, best wishes to you
    let me put some words for report later

        Dear Harrison !
         
        I know, I'm late in my growing up, as I've just read the book "Expanding our NOW" - just great!

      Glad you enjoyed the books -- and it is great to hear about the work you are doing.
