[Joanna Fletcher]

Just wanted to echo Jack here. As I learn more about leadership and
coaching, either with groups or individuals, it becomes clearer that what I
do or say is far less important than who I am being. When I am holding
myself and everyone else as creative, resourceful and whole, my impact is
felt on a level that is often unconscious, but no less effective for that.
It feels easy, effortless, "meant to be". 

 

The great thing about this is that it extends to when you are "selling" the
whole OS concept. When I am excited, and really believe that OS is the
answer, and know in a way I can't explain that this group is ready for it,
it comes across no matter what I say or do. I probably give more energy and
time to it, and that certainly has an impact. And, my belief in some way
creates the possibility for the event - when I am sleeping, talking,
listening, crying, dancing...

 

So I suppose what I am trying to say is, just go for it..as long as you know
in your bones it is needed, you already have everything you need to succeed.

 

Much love,

Yes Sheila, the way Harrison describes the role we play is provocative
compared to other more directive models of facilitation we may be accustomed
to. What has always been powerful for me over the years in OS is the
reminder that the "attitude" we bring to the uniqueness of the process is
what our clients get for their investement. They cannot pay us for our time
because neither they nor we can "own" time any more than we can "own" space.
If you've ever seen people like Harrison, Peggy, Lisa, or Chris open space,
you easily realize that our clients pay us for the same kind of
transformative being that is conveyed in the transmission between Zen
teacher and student. 

I love your reminder Harrison of our presence even as we sleep because it
speaks to the quantum reality that the quality of our energy cannot be
contained or expressed - it flows ceaselessly however we're enagaged. The
paradox is that the intrinsic awakeness that we bring to the party can flow
out even as we nap, as an inhale between exhales. The reality for me is that
if I'm working with any few in a large group, I may as well be napping as
far as everyone else in that moment is concerned. The ground of truth here
again always points back to the quality of being and becoming that is my
value-add to the process. 

Have a lovely day, Jack
