Hello friends,<div>Although we've not met, your conversations have energized and inspired me for the past several months and I am quite grateful. I'm in So California, Lisa, and love that this is the topic you're offering. Incredibly important and rarely offered like this --- ! I'm unable to attend on those dates due to client work in Seattle. I join Hege in encouraging you to offer this content via webcast, or in any time-'unbounded' manner that would allow me to register and benefit from your experience with pre-work. </div>

What supported the success of these events? Not my magic jewel-like words and insights - instead, a thorough analysis to select the appropriate tool, plus ongoing conversations with the client teams about everything from issues and objectives to site, food, documentation, invitation and outreach, follow-up and more - with every one of these elements affecting or supporting dialogue. To me, the pre-work is essential - and yet, everyone tells me they do not get this sort of training in their academic programs or other facilitation training. So I decided to host a workshop to share best practices and lessons learned about the pre-work.)</span></font></i></div>
