<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to those of you who read my "Making it
Happen" Open Space story. I appreciate the many replies to the List and to me
personally... including the encouragement and advice from Harrison and
others to 'make it happen' and Open Space on my own for similar
groups to 'make money'. To a certain degree it is 'happening',
as I have had several connections with attendees who are interested Open Space,
and have been asked to facilitate an Open Space session for this group as a
'paid' facilitator in the new year (in several locations).
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As follow up, I wanted to share to the list a
couple of the comments that were in the formal evaluation of the session.
I just received a summary of the evaluations submitted (about 75 people).
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Very productive networking event"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Easily the most valuable session of this group
that I have ever attended"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Met allot of people who were helpful that I would
not have met in a normal meeting of this group"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"This should be a regularly scheduled to allow
people of common interest to network"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"People became more comfortable interacting which
will help in future meetings of this group"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Amazing that everyone was an enthusiastic
participant'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This from a group of people who had their arms
crossed and were staring at me icily as I opened the space (or so it appeared to
me...)!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>About 10 % of the respondents indicated that they
would like to have an Open Session (instead of the regular 'expert speaker'
and table team networking format) monthly or bimonthly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was happy to get this summary in the mail along
with many Christmas cards, so I thought I'd share briefly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope everyone on the list has a relaxing and
peaceful holiday,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Harrison - do you have a computer wire that relays
to your brain the OSlist posts and then types what you are thinking back to the
list? I am amazed at your responsiveness! I appreciate your
involvement, support and encouragement!</DIV>
