Back to school today with our German-born, living in Thailand professor - Jost Wagner. He was awesome!! Rather than talk to us, he spoke with us and taught us about utilizing "World Cafe," "Open Space," "Appreciative Inquiry," "Future Search," and "Scenario Building" in small or large groups with professionals in education, government, business - anything!! It was so exciting!! Some of us are actually talking about ways that we will incorporate this is our own work and communities within the 13 countries where we're from! Inspiring teachers and administrators about conflict management, mediation, student performance and issues will be very exciting! It's great to be back in class! I love school! p.s. It was also heart-warming to get "fan mail!" THANKS!!Check out his website! www.change-initiative.com
