Desperation can help -- but it is by no means a cure-all. Sometimes folks get so desperate that they are like the rabbit in the gaze of a fox, or a deer in the headlights. They just freeze. That doesn't do much good. I think the real issue is not so much desperation -- but rather that the issue be what I would call a significant emotional event. Anything less just doesn't focus the attention and open the possibility space.

Too much persistence? So if the sponsor is not desperate enough there's no way forward. :-? I'm not looking for a client ... or am I? I mean, I'd like to see change within my organisation, I'm not a boss, and I don't even work near any big cafeteria (which would put me in touch with many people). Ok, I'm getting in touch with some people (also on the periphery), but it's really slow - on the other hand, no-one has told me self-organisation is a fast process. I'm walking the talk. Nothing to report yet. Thanks! Lucas ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ¡250 MB GRATIS!
