HI Pernilla, I would be very interested in a conversation about OST and U.Lab. I am part of a coaching circle, athough not an official one listed on the Presencing site
U.Lab has been a powerful experience for me with the many opportunities for growth. i decided early on that I would get the most out of it if I really put myself into it. It is a tremendous and generous give away of resources and tools.... the indigenous people of western Canada used to hold what they called a potlach, where a family would hold a great feast and give away their possessions, knowing it would come back to them. I was reminded of this as I watched the week 5 TED talk by Nipun Mehta. I look forward to a conversation. Eric .
