Subject: Re: Survey on the language of facilitation
Dear Andrew
I have completed my version of the survey information and sent same.
Have tried to do so a number of times, but this is the first time I have
been able to access the site properly.
Hope what I have written may have some use - though I reckon it would be
very marginal.
Cheers and blessings, BRIAN

Andrew,
Your survey made me think. Though we work on a global scale, our
understanding of issues are very localised. By that I mean within our own
cultures, habits and day-to-day happenings. I think that is why OS is so
powerfull.

Subject: Survey on the language of facilitation
Dear All,
At the beginning of this year Viv McWaters and I started a reflective
practice around the language of facilitation. Since then we have been
able
to have some great discussions with facilitators such as Sandy Schuman,
Larry Peterson and Brian Bainbridge. (You can find more on our website)
What has emerged from this has been a survey around the language of
facilitation. Our members of the reflective practice group on the
language
of facilitation have finished taking the survey and we would like to
offer
anyone else who is interested, the opportunity to take the survey.
You can take the survey by clicking the link below:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=970912086380
The survey contains a mixture of qualitative and quantitative questions.
It
appears the survey will take you between 15-20 minutes depending how much
effort you spend on the qualitative questions.
We appreciate your time and effort. The results will be compiled and
shared
for all interested.
Warm regards,
Andrew

Subject: Moscow Mentoring Circle April 29th
Dear colleagues,
I wanted to share a short report of the latest meeting of the Moscow
Mentoring Circle (MMC), which in its current (and first) incarnation is
devoted to experience sharing around OST/life practice of os and other
methods consonant with OST.
All together 8 or so people participated, including several corporate
trainers, a training manager from a major Russian company, a Chechen
cultural activist, and two children.
I rather enjoyed having a four and five year old child there. It
stretched the comfort zone for some when one of them ran off with the
speaking object in the closing circle when we were reflecting on
community archetype.
As the only facilitator there with formal OST facilitation experience
I chose not to experiment with facilitating and participating at the
same time. After we closed we went on for coffee elsewhere and
continued the conversation:
Some of the topics discussed were:
- "sellability" of OST
- what you need to do to sell OS
- pre and post-work with an OST meeting
- use of OST for strategic planning of a new NGO, Goryanka ("Woman of
the Mountains) (Roshni-Chu village, Urus Martan District, Chechnya),
dedicated to offering folk music
and dance classes to talented children as a form of personal
rehabilitation.
The training manager present who'd had an experience of an enjoyable
multi-day OST in the nonprofit sector had a very clear intuitive sense of
the
value of OST and that the post-OST-meeting work (like the pre-work)
was much more important and more key than the meeting itself.
I find holding the MMC rather satisfying. And it has taken me to a
deeper conversation with myself around what does the OST/os
community/organization of practice want to become? Who can we learn
from in doing what we do as a community/organization better? Who are
our models? I look forward to reading and studying Anne Stadler's
distillation of the Spirited Work community and seeing what from that
we can take here.
I see the air here is changing. On one level OST may indeed explode in
the corporate world here in Moscow and other parts of Russia. Things
have a funny way of taking off here very quickly. Galina Tsarkova
speaks of the "granularity" of OST. I sense that springtime
granularity right now.
Frankly, talking about os as a life practice is new for me and I
haven't have seen or heard much of such conversations yet. But, there
is a right time for everything.
Aside to Mark (Jones), I really enjoyed seeing your distillation on
the innovative organizations thread. Looking forward to having it
translated into Russian for a future "News from OS" issue. I hope
that's ok!
In the meantime, you can enjoy the pictures from MMC.

Hola Melinda (Spanish speaking girl?)
My main focus is on private companies (banks, insurance companies, hotels,
communications related business and NGOs). As I work with a diversity of
methods, am able to offer the right solution once I get an inside view of
the organization. I have not been very active recently. Where do you work
and live?
I copied the link for you:

Subject: Re: Survey on the language of facilitation
Thanks Herman, great to hear you got some value from our survey.
Something I've been wondering lately is whether OS might be more
'empowering' than many other styles and processes of facilitation.
I'd love to hear any thoughts, anecdotes, stories or reflections around
this....
Warm regards,
Andrew
