I’ve been focusing on growing in Open Space. I’ve been interested in it for so
long but hadn’t had a chance to work with it. Last year I made the decision to
be open to all opportunities that came to me to facilitate Open Space and to
start talking about it more and more with clients and others.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I looked at it as a sort of action
learning experience and decided I would take every opportunity I could to do
Open Space events as long as I felt ethically they were okay, even if it meant
that they weren’t “pure” I wanted to find my own way within this method and
perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

decision that my role as facilitator means that I won’t participate in
sub-group activities and I’ve also made an agreement with the other sponsors
that they would be there for me should I need any support and reflection. This
feels good, but I’m still sort of scared about doing something where I am also
very much inside the system that is using the OST.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
