Facilitators Network | Monday October 12, 2015 | 5.30pm Looking for the hidden "good stuff" - an exploration with John Loty How can we as facilitators overcome and help others overcome the anxieties, fears and tribulations that are rarely discussed but not so rare? According to Shirzad Chamine, author of "Positive Intelligence" only 20% of teams and individuals achieve their true potential...largely because of the "saboteurs" within. This session of the Sydney Facilitators will explore these concepts and discover approaches that will facilitate achievement of this elusive potential. This session will explore ways of applying a strengths-based and realistic approach to a solution of the actual problem/s by learning to see things differently ... by engaging in a collaborative and cooperative search for the best in any given situation, organisations, people and the world about us. Participants will also be introduced to the STOP tool, developed by W Timothy Gallwey in "The Inner Game of Work".

During that session the group generated an output, in the form of many, many post-it notes! Ian has kindly typed up those post-it notes and provided an excellent summary of the evening along with some keen insights into nature of dialogue. It makes for good reading! ======================================================= News & Events 18th AFN Conference | Ballina 5-6 November 2015 Facilitating Wholeness www.afnconference.org.au ======================================================= Call for Guest Facilitators: If you have an idea or know someone who has an idea for a session at a Facilitators Network meeting in 2015 please contact Greg Jenkins 0418 486 501 gregjenkins@yahoo.com or Eoin Higgins 0407 411 684 eoin.p.higgins@gmail.com ======================================================= Venue:  [Our usual venue] University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Jones Street, Ultimo corner Thomas Street.
