<p class=MsoNormal>Cliodhna, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you. I am so glad to find soul mates in the OS
community. Speaking my voice and hearing others speak theirs is so wonderful. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> In my brief exposure to Open Space, what I've noted is
that people are so exhilarated with being asked to participate, to choose and
to reflect about what they are passionate about. This often stirs something
inside them which nudges them to share openly and honestly about themselves.
They suddenly allow themselves to become vulnerable and that's when the
floodgates open. People instantly recognize that others who they thought were
so self-confident and put together, are actually struggling with the same
things they are. This opens up more sharing and more listening in an
environment of feeling equal and safe. The "ah ha" moments multiply.
That's the real magic of Open Space when heartfelt Intention and Invitation are
a big part of the equation. <br>
<br>
Prepare from the heart and then let go... go slow to go fast. It's just so darn
simple! And the irony of it all is that you often get what you had always hoped
for: trust, creativity, innovation, solutions, collaboration and fun leading to
actions and sustainable results. Self-organizing and shared leadership in a
living system! It ain’t new. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hugs and smiles going your way.<o:p></o:p></p>
