[OSList] Asking for your wisdom - Leora Tushinski

[Steve Holyer]

Hi Leora,

Time flies!  I see now you asked these question all the way back on 3 
March! Seems like yesterday when I planned to answer “tomorrow”.

I also see you got some great answers.

I’m holding some fairly intensive training workshops. In the workshops 
we are developing the the mindset of the Open Space Facilitator and 
applying it to facilitation or to leadership.

You said you were wondering how to "hold" the tension between the 
"freedom" in the OS method, and “purposefulness” needed in most of 
the processes. And more, how can we avoid the "loose" rules lead to 
"anarchy", especially in complex environment?

You got some great answers here that I really appreciate. I can tell you 
that the last few cohorts of our workshop really grappled with these 
same questions as facilitators — especially online (in a distributed / 
remote space) where conventional wisdom is that this already borders on 
anarchy and people have been told you need more rules online not less.

I’d like to invite you (and anyone else from this list) to an upcoming 
Open Space Leadership (OSL) workshop when you’re able to join us. 
(Details here https://coachingcocktails.com/osworkshop)

You’ll really get to dig into the exact questions you asked, and 
we’ll work together as a cohort so you that you can really develop and 
practice an understanding of some of the answers you got. (We use 
Michael Hermann’s book in the course … I think he was one of the 
people who answered. :)

The workshop is 4x 3hr online course sessions. The sessions are always 
live and instructor(that’s me)-led. I also ask you to commit to 1-3 
hours of self-study and pair work with a partner from the cohort between 
sessions. The usual fees are €684 per person, but if you book today 
it’s only €534 because of early bunny pricing

Let me know how I can answer your questions about the workshops.  Sorry 
with the holidays and what not I didn’t get a chance to tell you about 
his sooner. There are three upcoming cohorts staring this month and next 
month if you’d like to join one.

Here again is the information that’s online:

Cheers,
Steve
