Dear friends and colleagues, I wish to speak a little more about this Wellness Revolution for Organizations. I had a few responses to this off-list. A significant comment was that it did not appear different to what I was already doing once I embraced that the reason that we work with the Genuine Contact program is to assist organizations achieve health and balance. That is true. What is unfolding here is my own evolution with who I am, what I am doing, and why. Part of that evolution included a time when I was enchanted with the use of Open Space Technology and Whole Person Process Facilitation and my developing passion with the conscious Open Space Organization. And when I probed myself for "WHY?" I was delighted when the answer came to me "to assist people to make genuine contact". Even then, I was writing about genuine contact being essential for people to do their most important spiritual work-->relationship work. Even though I wrote about it, the part that had the emphasis for me was the Genuine Contact and Genuine Being part. As you know, the Genuine Contact tm program evolved, with its emphasis on it being a vehicle to develop the Conscious Open Space Organization. The spiritual work part had more of a backseat. When I probed further for "WHY?", I was delighted when the answer came to me "to assist organizations to be healthy and balanced for their greater success AND simultaneously to have people treated well instead of their workplaces causing them to be ill." I was delighted because this seemed a very good reason to be doing this work.
And then when I probed for "why?" I came around the circle of the spiral again, but at another level for me, where overnight the emphasis shifted to being about Spirit, Spirit all that matters, and that organizations exist for the evolvement of people. When I wrote the note to you about the Wellness Revolution for Organizations, I was having a big "aha" for me with a new emphasis. And my vision came to be the creation of a big transformative shift on the globe. The transformative shift could be achieved through "the Wellness Revolution for Organizations" if somehow people could be inspired to view "the purpose of organizations is for the evolvement of people" and to view all other purposes as secondary. I was imagining that if this shift in emphasis could take place, and everyone on the globe could have a reference point about organizations as existing for this primary purpose, the ripple effects in treating all people as precious could become global. I continue to be in this place of vision with my imagination. If you are inspired by this, I would love to hear your thoughts. For me, I shifted the way that I am presenting my work to potential clients. If you would like to know more about that, please contact me off list. I focus on the Wellness Revolution for Organizations without actually saying so. I believe in the wisdom of attraction rather than promotion. Within all of this comes how I attract desire for OST and the Conscious Open Space Organization.
