Dear friends and colleagues in Open Space,
out of a beautiful sea of possibilities, the one that I choose to put
forward for the theme of the WOSONOS 2019 is "Take Up Space. YOU are meant
to be here with your whole being".
in genuine contact,

Strategic Planning the Genuine Contact way
<https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/strategic-planning-workshop/>
coming
soon..March 22, 29 and April 5th, 2019. Three Fridays from 9am to 12:30pm
EST in an online workshop is only one part of the learning experience that
is augmented by several self study modules. About twenty hours of
investment of your time to learn a holistic approach to strategic planning.
We start with the end result of a strategy focused organization in which
every person involved in an organization can link their role with their
part in accomplishing the strategic plan. This is an asset in job
satisfaction, retention due to meaningful work, and in employee engagement.
Why a holistic approach? The process of strategic planning gets the best
results for the organization by making use of all dimensions of individual
and collective intelligence--mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Learn
strategic planning with us as a valuable strategy to being your best.
