follow up to "Making it Happen' OS story

[Harrison Owen]

Judy - thanks for sharing the evaluations. Always amazing to me that people
can have so much fun and then indicate that they want to go back and be
miserable again (the 90% who didn't want OS every time - if I read the stats
correctly). And, no - I ain't wired. Just good old hunt peck. Seems to work
pretty good.

Subject: follow up to "Making it Happen' OS story

 

Thanks to those of you who read my "Making it Happen" Open Space story. I
appreciate the many replies to the List and to me personally... including
the encouragement and advice from Harrison and others to 'make it happen'
and Open Space on my own for similar groups to 'make money'.   To a certain
degree it is 'happening', as I have had several connections with attendees
who are interested Open Space, and have been asked to facilitate an Open
Space session for this group as a 'paid' facilitator in the new year (in
several locations).    

 

As follow up, I wanted to share to the list a couple of the comments that
were in the formal evaluation of the session.  I just received a summary of
the evaluations submitted (about 75 people). 

 

"Very productive networking event"

"Easily the most valuable session of this group that I have ever attended"

"Met allot of people who were helpful that I would not have met in a normal
meeting of this group"

"This should be a regularly scheduled to allow people of common interest to
network"

"People became more comfortable interacting which will help in future
meetings of this group"

"Amazing that everyone was an enthusiastic participant'

 

This from a group of people who had their arms crossed and were staring at
me icily as I opened the space (or so it appeared to me...)!

 

About 10 % of the respondents indicated that they would like to have an Open
Session (instead of the regular 'expert speaker' and table team networking
format) monthly or bimonthly.  

 

I was happy to get this summary in the mail along with many Christmas cards,
so I thought I'd share briefly.

 

Hope everyone on the list has a relaxing and peaceful holiday,

Judy Gast

 

 

 

Harrison - do you have a computer wire that relays to your brain the OSlist
posts and then types what you are thinking back to the list?  I am amazed at
your responsiveness!  I appreciate your involvement, support and
encouragement!
