<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=986515705-05072004>Greetings from
wintery Australia,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=986515705-05072004>After some almost 12
months 'lurking on the list' and learning a huge amount, it is time for me
to pop my head up and join the community more formally.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=986515705-05072004>I have been in
consulting for over twenty years and attended The Shambhala Institute for
Authentic Leadership Summer Program in June last year where I learnt all about
strategic conversations in the guise of Open Space from Toke Moller and Marianne
Knuth.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=986515705-05072004>To these two people
I owe a debt of gratitude which I hope that I can, one day,
repay.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=986515705-05072004>Having run some two
dozen Open Spaces mainly in the corporate sector since, I have decided to set up
a company to pursue my fascination for Open Space and related disciplines.
My guidance has been to start from a simple base and only add those things that
add value and I hope that that sentiment is reflected in my
Website.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

you.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
