its too hot in Berlin to even attempt a long answer, so here is a short one:<br>
I neither trust people nor processes, in fact I distrust this "trust this or that". Have a hard time even trusting myself.<br>
But, I do know. I know from experience that a particular process I am familiar with always works. And I know that people will do what is appropriate for them and will always do the best they probably can in any given situation.<br>
This frees me from worrying about the process and about the folks in the gathering and gives me sufficient space to look after my impossible task of being completely present and utterly invisible.<br>
I know you can do this and will do it regardless of whether I trust you or not.<br>
<br>
Have a cool day<br>

Hello everybody!<br>
I *have a big challenge and I need your wisdom!*<div class="im"><br>
The next next Thursday, I will be facilitating an OS, with a group of<br>
190 Secondary School Principals. Is a highly controversial group in a<br>
very politicised and complicated context... (ideal for open space isn't it?)<br>
But in my practice, I haven´t had the opportunity to meet with groups<br>
like this...where there is much aggressiveness and the bonds of trust<br>
are very damaged...<br>
I would like to learn from your experience. and know what warning should<br>
I take?<br></div>
*Some Context:*<div class="im"><br>
My client told me that there are very opposing groups. And in their<br>
regular meetings (not in open space) there are people who start to<br>
scream and insult boycotting all the meeting and not allowing the<br>
dialogue... If happen a situation like that, at the beginning of the<br>
circle, which do you recommend to do?<br>
In addition to breathe, breathe and hold space... "confidence in people<br>
and in the process"<br>
In imagie that facing that hypothetical situation... It would be correct<br>
to give them the space of listening, and then tell them that they can<br>
leave if they are not comfortable there... Although it would be very<br>
important to stay to make their contribution...<br>
And then continue with those who want to follow...<br>
What do you think about that? Which is your experience in similar cases?<br>
Grateful for your comments!<br>
Warm greetings from the Argentine winter.<br>
Cecilia<br></div>
