Hi Agnieszka,<br>
<br>
I feel you have excellent instincts with respect to your discomfort
with the idea of Facilitating and participating as a member at the
same time. Like you, I, too am also uncomfortable... occupying the
roles of Facilitator and Participant at the same time. <br>
<br>
I coach Agile. If I am functioning as coach to the group, I always
refrain from Facilitating OST, because my current belief is that I
probably cannot be effective as the OST Facilitator in that spot. <br>
<br>
In any event, instead, I prefer to pay a friend to do the
Facilitation, and then play in the OST game as a Participant. <br>
<br>
<br>
And so: I wonder if you might have a local friend, someone
interested in your OST work, who is not currently a member of your
team. I wonder if you could teach this local-friend person the
basics of OST Facilitation ahead of time. I wonder if you could
teach this person how to do it, in, say, 1 or 2 hours, with a
little, private, mock "chairs-in-a-circle" walk-through, with the
posters, etc. <br>
<br>
I wonder if your friend might then be willing to actually do the
Facilitation of your team's OST event, in exchange for your
excellent before/during/after mentoring (and the very excellent
learn-by-doing opportunity.) <br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Daniel<br>
