The workshop's members have each agreed to bring a personal mastery topic.
We've also agreed to use the Talking Stick Circle method for opening our
dialog during the first hour. It's very useful in slowing our speech,
thought and listening to a dialog-friendly speed. I'm working very hard
to be more of a critical listener than a speaker, and facilitate primarily
by providing the meeting place (and snacks). For many of these folks,
this is their first experience in meeting under these conditions for these
purposes. They insist that they're enjoying it (and I have no reason to
doubt it).
re - The " Talking Stick Circle" method...
Richard I've not come across this expression before, could you enlighten
me (and any others) to its use, and origins..
also, I am currently participating in a research project, examining
aspects of an organisation (LO ?) , particularly looking at software
development processes and would appreciate guidance into whether this
method of "discussion" would prove valuable?
