Harrison...one of the aspects of you that I love is that when you participate, you engage. 

 

I witness many people participating and appearing engaged. And yet upon probing after a participatory meeting, engagement was not sufficient to create follow on action. I feel that this distinction between having a participatory meeting and having the conditions for engagement is important somehow.

 

Blessings,

Birgitt

Dear friends and colleagues,

One important question is "do you want to participate?". Hence participatory methods.

 

Another important question is "do you want to engage?".  A totally different question with a different energy, both in its inquiry and its answer.

 

The question that we align ourselves with as facilitators makes a substantial difference in our approach. I am wondering about the impact on our outcomes.

 

Make a great day!

Birgitt
