Do we open space or...

[Birgitt Williams]

Thanks for the clarification Doug. I smiled when I saw that the second part
was not so clear to you either.

With a prospective client, I am always clear that ONE of the reasons that
OST works so well is that the space is intentionally created to work WITH
Spirit. I also list other reasons including self organizing behavior as I do
my best to assist the prospective client to understand that OST is deeply
powerful, has a deep essence, and that the form is only one part that
creates the "fabric" for the full potential of the group to find its way. I
am always surprised and delighted by how many CEO's/leaders/managers wish to
dwell on this with great enthusiasm.

As for converting someone to something, that is not within my intention and
so it does not get in the way. And within the opening of the meeting itself,
I do not mention Spirit/God/Creator explicitly, although I pray for all who
are gathered that all be for their highest good and that I am guided in my
every word/thought/action.

I also direct people to our website, where we are very clear in our values
and beliefs so that they can make a choice about whether they want to engage
us based on this or not.

Blessings to you and to all with whom you make Genuine Contact,
Birgitt

Birgitt--

1. This was a way of asking just how explicit you are with prospective
clients about Divinity? Do you use the word? Do you get much fear from
people of "the God thing," or "that person who is trying to convert me?"

2. This one I am not as sure of, either. <grin> Let's pass on it, for now.
Maybe someday I'll figure it out and we can try again.

Thanks, Birgitt!
