Dear OSLIST,
reading the post of Caitlin I thought of Marvin Weisbords and Sandra
Janoffs "Don't Just Do Something, Stand There!" published in 2007 (In
2011 a German version with the title "Einfach mal Nichts tun!" followed.).
It has two main sections:
--- Part one: Leading Meetings, with 6 Principles regarding stuff that
can be influenced in
planning and managing, especially in a Future Search gathering
and
--- Part two: Managing Yourself, with 4 Prinicples that deal with what I
as facilitator can apply for my own reflection and development to enable
the "just stand there" mode.
The second part is universally applicable to working with groups of any
kind regardless of the design or frame (OST, FS, AI...) if my aim is not
to control but to have all the control on the side of the participants
and focus on the ability of groups to selforganize and develope.
The second part, I find, is the tough one and the most rewarding to work
with. It has supported me in what I think is a lifelong journey,
becoming aware of ones own assumptions, anxieties... and those of others
and withholding action on the base of those assumptions by suspending them.
Have a great day wherever you are

Hi folks,
Last call to join this engaging online course focussed on limiting
beliefs personal practice for dialogue practitioners and change makers.
We start Tuesday January 28th.
https://www.beehive-productions.net/course/transforming-limiting-beliefs/
It has been my experience over my past 20 years as a dialogue and Open
Space practitioner, that one of the most important areas of practice is
being able to hold (not control) space, especially when there is
conflict, different perspectives, power and vulnerability.
The practice of The Work takes me way beyond positive intention right
into the limiting patterns of my own thinking and reactions that can
close space, often unintentionally because of assumptions, fears, bias
and attachments to outcome that are untended in myself. These can be
strong and unconscious, but still have an impact on other people, the
space and what is possible in the space, whether I am a facilitator or a
participant. If I am the facilitator then my power amplifies my impact.
When I identify and use The Work to inquire into my own stressful or
stuck thinking, I am able to access valuable insights and learning and
shift to a more open, creative mindset; I am able to be and bring more
presence.
I teach this practice globally in organizations and with dialogue
practitioners and am offering this online version to increase
accessibility. The fabulous people from Beehive productions will be
co-hosting with their skill and experience for creating engaging online
learning space.
There is still time to join us - we start on Tuesday January 28th for 4
weeks. If you miss any sessions you can access the recordings.
I am offering 30% discount to OS practitioners and you can use the code
"Frost-First" for the discount.

I hope you can come! It will be interesting, fun and also helpful as we
not only talk about Limiting Beliefs, but work with them.
Caitlin
