Six weeks after AoH in Belgium

After six weeks of joy and silence, I'm back again. I am extremely grateful to all that have been working hard and sharing at the Art of Hosting Training in Belgium.  First let me share my experiences after Belgium with you.After Belgium I have used the Chaordic Path and the U Movement in coaching a risk manager at a Dutch multinational shipyard company and in a proposal for introducing enterprise risk management in a Dutch Cattle Feed multinational. The reaction to the proposal has been good and I will embark on a 10 day consultancy assignment starting May 28.

 

I have co-hosted an Organization Photography workshop aimed at formulating the core values by a group of 42 staff members of the Customer Finance department of T-Mobile in The Hague. The AoH Training experience in Belgium has helped me in listening to and sensing what happens in the field better. 

In my fiNext team I have suggested that we read and discuss Presence by Peter Senge et al. We will be discussing the book and a U Journal on May 20.

 

On March 25, 27 and 30 I hosted (together with Karin Sorbi and Patricia Koster) 3 Conversation Cafés (CC's) in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands. The success of those cafes has encouraged us in organizing a recurrent “Dialog Café Utrecht” on May 15 and June 26. This will be continued in September, October, and November.

 

Another result of the CC's is a CC hosted by Rose Moll who was a participant in the AoH Training in Belgium. She was with us on March 30 and was inspired to do the same in Amsterdam.

 On May 19-20 I will join the Center for Human emergence, that adheres to the principles of the Chaordic Theory, in a retreat in the Netherlands.
