Where are you heading....?

When you turn 50 you realize life is not easy and how much people around you make a difference. (Yes, I know it took me a while!:-)).

Have a look at this film - it's a favourite! Why? Because when you struggle, you need people like this guy. We have clients walking difficult paths and I admire them for how thy do it. And I always find someone like this guy who knows that it is all about hard work and attitude and willingness to put your team first. I am heading this directon....are you?

On dialogue.......

Last week I had a fantastic experience! I was doing a dialogue session with a client - how to communcate through preparing to listen and not to talk!?!
Possible? Yes!
I learned this from The Performance Group who are true experts in this (Thank you to you!) and I fell in love with the format.
Bohm Dialogue or Bohmian Dialogue is a form of free association conducted in groups, with no predefined purpose in mind besides mutual understanding and exploration of human thought. It aims to allow participants to examine their preconceptions, prejudices and patterns of thought. The group sits in a single circle, for a few hours during regular meetings or for a few days in a workshop environment. Participants "suspend" their thoughts, motives, impulses and judgments - exploring and attempting to "think together" collectively. According to the proposal, Dialogue should not be confused with discussion, lecture, discourse or debate, which, says Bohm, all suggest working towards a goal rather than simply exploring. Meeting without an objective or agenda is done to create a "free space" for something new to happen.

I reccomend you try it......

CIM Event - a way to make life easier

What does it take to be able to communicate, control and ensure all key decisions are provided to all involved in an event? This is SO key!

We have lately talked to several event organizers about this providing the solution of our partner, One Voice. Their system is made for crisis situations and is used by many private companies and public entities. Running an event is pretty much like being on alert for 24 hours and we see many similiarites to dealing with contingency situations. So we put togheter a version of CIM fit for events.

Now we're looking for the first pilot client - we know it will be a breakthrough for any event operation! I'll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, have a look here: http://www.onevoice.no/en/
