FW: Diane Gibeault in Switzerland

[Tenneson Woolf]

Hi Friends.

 

I find a similar process with OS and WC (and others). With each use, I look
for ways to make it more simple. I confess, I’m big on context and it takes
some effort for me to let go. With WC, I used to feel more strongly about
naming the story, the conditions, guidelines, posters, tables set, crisp
question, etc. Yet recently, I find myself almost just saying – “go” with a
challenge to think harvest while in it. OS has been like this for me also. 

 

That isn’t to say that I don’t want to use all of the setup, but have just
learned that I can do it more simply, particularly when I have less time
with them. In all, for me it feels like my simple grounding in purpose and
presence decomplicate. 

 

In the spirit of morphing and experimenting, it would be fun to set an open
space format so that questions are named by the group. Then even go to a WC
format.

 

A few thoughts to stir to the simplicity pot.

Dear Diane

 

This is just a small echo from the “other side” of your Switzerland
trainings – I have been a part of your World Café training and greatly
enjoyed getting to know you (and hearing your Canadian French!). I would
have loved to stay for the OS part, but just couldn’t. Thank you for having
come and made this learning possible! I hope you enjoyed your stay in our
country – and I admire you for taking enough time to combine it with
holidays, making the trip even more worth wile.

 

Does it only seem to me or is it so that World Café is more complicated in
terms of preparation than Open Space? Since I have been familiar with OST
for so long, I naturally tend to find everything else more complicated and
would like to have an objective view on this. Any experiences anybody?

 

Thank you - Catherine
