> G'day folks
>
> Yesterday I opened space for a very nervous first-time sponsor in a
> 'combo' event. By that I mean the sponsor had a predetermined
> (conventional-style) agenda for the first 90mins followed by Open Space for
> the rest of the day.
>
> There was a ten minute 'big boss' welcome and 'rally call', followed by
> next biggest boss fifteen minute welcome and rally call, followed by two
> 30min 'power-point stories from the trenches'...so we had 53 managers and
> operations technicians sitting facing the front, theatre style for 90 mins
> with nary a word spoken between them...
>
> Then they broke out for morning break and we reconfigured the room into
> circles for OS....
>
> While I was visiting the 'dunny' (bathroom) prior to them returning, I
> thought of a phrase that described what I noticed happening - and used it
> in the opening circle.
>
> We are now moving from 'listening to selective wisdom to sharing
> collective wisdom'...
>
> Any other neat little phrases out there that folks use in their opening
> scripts?
>
> Oh, and as you might guess, they loved it - 25 topics (some of which were
> later combined) posted by 53 people during three highly engaged sessions
> and four very energised Action Plans created - and a wonderfully affirming
> closing circle!
>
> Magical moments and movements indeed...
>
> Cheers
> Brendan
