The rest is an illusion of certainty which is the very antithesis of Open Space at least as I experience it.</div><div><br></div><div>I appreciate your enthusiasm for the business opportunity and for practitioners. I have found that the OSList and the wonderful discussions, which are both challenging and respectful, to be the very best professional development and better than any ‘regulation’ I have experienced in any profession bar none. Wise folks here share and repeat the simplicity of what we do in service of others.<br><br>As I say to my student mediators: “your training means you understand the goals and theory and your accreditation means I think you are a safe pair of hands. Now, you turn up, pay attention and ‘be’ a mediator. There is no certificate for that.”</div><div><br></div><div>Greetings and warm wishes from a lovely sunny Hove (south coast England)</div><div><br></div><div>Amanda</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr">Amanda Bucklow</div><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Independent Commercial Mediator</div><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><a href="Https://amandabucklow.co.uk">Https://amandabucklow.co.uk</a><br><div>07976 924995</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On 1 Aug 2019, at 20:35, Mark Carmel via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Dear World Wide Open Space Technologists,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">ALL we have to do ONLY requires a collective DECISION. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Here is the question: Are you IN or out?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Mark Carmel</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Wannabe Certified OST</div></div>
