Jimmy, within the context of an OS event, it would be fine to post a session in the marketplace on the demonstration of process. Then, the right people would show up for that topic and the right things would unfold.
As I tried to point out in my last post, it is reasonable for someone holding a session during an OS event to use a specific process for that session. But if you are thinking you have to 'educate' everyone about the correct manner for their open space conversations before you can trust them to have open space conversations, then I agree with Wendy's conclusion that you are still thinking you are in control. Throughout any open space, and throughout one's life, you are always free, Jimmy, to use a slower, more reflective process -- at least, you are free to use what looks, to you, like a slower, more reflective process. And if you feel moved to conduct process lessons while in putative open space, then you are, always, free to do so. But the space is not quite open if the person 'opening' the space thinks they have to tell anyone what to do about anything. For me, you slip out of open space if you find yourself thinking you have to tell anyone anything about how to 'be' in open space. And like Wendy, I ask you to imagine me saying this in a warm, friendly tone. I liked the way she put her arm on your shoulder. Just my opinion. * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
