Virgin OSer needs reassurance!

[miworld]

Great stuff Joanna, obviously you are the only one who thought something was
screwed up - looks to me like it worked just fine for the group - at the end
of the day that's who it is for.
 
Well done, thanks for taking the time to share with the rest of us,

Hey gang! First of all, THANKS for the awesome support and reminders that I
didn’t really have to DO anything.

 

I screwed up the script hugely; I was not very grounded; my theme statement
was less than inspiring. And it still worked. In spades.

 

They came up with the most incredible titles and ideas. I was bursting with
joy at their creativity and deep engagement with the theme. I had a lot of
people ask me questions and I just parroted back a principle or the law. 

 

Then I turned it over to the group and LEFT THE ROOM. As I walked out the
door, I heard people yell “WAIT! Hey! What
.” And I kept walking, repeating
the mantra, trust the group, trust the group, trust the group. I found a
chair and ate a banana, heart racing, visions of being fired dancing in my
head. Five minutes later, I walked back in and everything was working just
fine – a couple of groups in the corridor, some in the room, some outside.
They produced awesome feedback and we have a clear place to go for the next
class.

 

Here it is; like everything else, the first time is the hardest, and I can’t
wait to do it again with a different group tomorrow.

 

Many many thanks and blessings to you all,

 

Joanna Fletcher

Joanna's situation sounds lot like I expect mine to be when I organize my
own  first OS (hopefully soon). Since I am newbie myself, it is also very
encouraging for me to see the level of support expressed here.

Thanks

Any hot tips for a newbie? I am planning my first OS tomorrow as part of an
Interpersonal Communications course. We have two hours and a burning
question; we have the space and I've been meditating like crazy. And
yet...I'm still terrified. 
 
My real fear is that all the students won't get it. I desperately want to
let go and let it happen, and I'm worried about what will happen when I do. 
 
Breathing,
