Between stimulus and response

[lynda at drlyndaklau.com]

Hi there back and front,

This is my first contribution as well.
First off, I like Covey's quote,
the feel of a Rumi poem
yet not as good.

I agree with what you said George
I would say participants with an s.

I don't prefer Stimulus and Response
and it makes the point

What feels important

is that we create many ways to break the old brain and limbic brain default
responses
so that new births, discoveries and freedom can be born,
moment by moment.

Hi there,

I have been "lurking" on this list for a while now, being new to the
whole Open Space concept. This then is my first post!

I have been listening to the audio version of Steven Covey's new book
"The 8th Habit". Whilst listening I re-discovered one of Steven's
famous quotes:

"Between stimulus and response there lies a space, in that space lies
our freedom and power to choose our response, in those choices lie our
growth and our happiness" -. Steven Covey

Reflecting on this quote and my personal, although limited, experience
with Open Space, I was amazed how effective the Open Space process is
at increasing the "space between stimulus and response" in the
particapant in the process. Thereby, increasing their Respons-ability.

Any thoughts or observations?


Regards George
