you said Harrison. The demo can easily be seen for its cute tricks, another
flavour of the month, especially if there is little time for them to understand
and feel the tandem passion-responsability at work. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>If there is no
time or equipment for a video, I explain OS by telling a story of how it happens
"Imagine a room with only a circle of chairs, as people arrive.....", I describe
what happens, how people act - react at different stages, why (the principles
flow in naturally here), what results can be expected, concrete (6 concrete
ones as they are listed in the OS book) and the intangible results (the
spirit and deep communication, commitment that generaly occurs ). I then
answer questions using examples of experiences of other groups and using
comments from sponsors and participants. They are usually passionate themselves
by then.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The story telling
is one approach that has worked well for me. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>As long as people
at the end are focussed on the let go, the trust and the passion side of
OS, the possibilities for empowerment, of real open communication and authentic
participant enthusiasm as opposed to OS's neat facilitation tricks such as
post-its that people easily zoom into, whatever we do to get there is probably
OK.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
