Thank you so mucho for this thread of thought and questions... 1.- I heard of it in 2007 in Asheville, North Carolina, when I met Birgitt and Ward Williams, and they were sitting in the yearly meeting of contributors of the International Institute for Global Leadership. 2.- Something clicked inside me, and I asked them to tell me some more about it. The next year I travelled to their home in Raleigh, North Carolina, and received the complete Genuine Contact Program training that includes OST, I participated in the first OST meeting. 3.- For me the 4 Principles, and the Law of Two Feet are so much a part of what I believe and who I am, it's hard to say what came first. Maybe, hearing about it is what resonated with my belief-system. 4.- At the beginning I thought I needed to offer OST in Venezuela, to different organizations, public and private, without any success, until in Jan 2013 I realized I wanted to show what it's all about and offered a few trainings as of then, with the result that there are now several OST facilitators in Venezuela who are doing the work with excellent results, for which I am very very happy. Thanks again. Elisabeth (now in Spain)
