had more experience since then, I have observed that Day 1 people <i><span

and Day 2 they almost always ‘bring it home’ to self and
solutions. It’s that overnight percolation thing, and that ‘naming
one’s experience and truly being heard’ thing. So I really
don’t have to do anything to ‘help’ them, I just have to
breathe. And get over myself.</span></font></p>

mentioned, in a more-than-one-day OS there is a 30 minute-or-less Evening News
at the end of Day 1 (announcements, housekeeping, where we will be meeting for
dinner, sleep well, see you in the morning) and a 30-minute-or-less Morning
News at the beginning of Day 2, along with an invitation to announce any “Late-Breaking
Sessions. Then we’re ‘off and running’ again.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:black'>As Harrison has
observed – I find that in some events there are plenty of Late-Breaking
Sessions, in others there are just one or two, but either way, people still
have a full rich day (or whatever) of discussions to explore. And as Ms.
Tree confirmed – yes, new ideas happen -- during dinner, as one is taking
an evening walk, in one’s morning shower, in one’s dreams, eating
one’s morning muffin – and these can radically alter someone’s
idea of what they want to talk about the next day. And new theme or no,
my messing with it or no, even if they post a new topic or no, they talk about
it and great things happen.</span></font></p>
