<p>Yoy seem to unserstand the spirit of OST. Your schedule looks wonderful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You might include 1 minute "Thank you for Coming. Do whatever is necessary" coming from the Boss, only if necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Stay being totally Present & absolutely Invisible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The OS magic will be played by the group themselves. So just leave them do it!<o:p></o:p></p>
