First Time!

[Lesley Symons]

My reflections afterwards on my first Open Space were

 

Ground yourself each morning before the event-have a ritual that works for
you

Stick with the process-it works-when any self doubt creeps in read the book
to ground you

Hold space open

Don't get involved or get in the way

Wear flat-ish shoes when walking the circle-walk slower than you think

Be clear about the evening news/ opening and closing events

Be prepared to let go of any action planning formula's you may have

 

It was scary and exhilarating all at the same time

 

Go for it -IT WORKS and people love it :-)

Hello, Lovely OS People,

In June, I'll be opening space for the first time, at a small but hopefully
perfectly formed UK conference. I've attended OS sessions before, and I've
read the book - marvellous, Mr Owen - but I thought I'd post here and ask
what advice you guys would give a first-timer about OS.

Cheers!

Jen
