I really enjoyed your blog entry, and in fact went back in time and read the rest of them, too! Looking forward to spending some time with you at another future AIN event, as we definitely missed contacting each other this time around....
Ma…
This is the beginning of a large body of work I do on status. And I invite you to do this and see what people say. I have heard a wide variety of responses from what is a very simple behavior change.
The next step for me is the swap behaviors, so b…
That sounds wonderful! Next time I will BE THERE! I especially like (as Lief says below) the opportunity to participate in sessions that explore some Personal Growth in the context of the conference.
Fun to watch - thanks for sharing this. Can somebody who participated tell us the context for the exercise...it's a lovely exercise and I'm curious about the connections and learning that came from the rest of the debrief.
interesting.. i come from the countryside in austria and i know this exercise.
Also interesting the comments of the people. When i ask i get the classic 'i felt shy' (look away'ers) and 'i felt confident' (lookers) - in this group both felt nervous?…
It's official, I'm stealing it. Tomorrow, Wednesday in Dublin, picture 10 young women 22-28 years old........
amazing tension release, community building AND core workout at the same time!!!

Lieselotte Nooyen said… - Very nice Matt!
Freedom indeed is what we choose to do with the things that happen to us. What a strength and guts to make a talk about it! Was nice to hear you speaking again.
Hope you and G are good. Read her book while I was in Thailand and really enjoyed it.
Take care,
Lieselotte

Belina Raffy said… - Hi Matt!
I get your speaking agent newsletter AND I had a conf-call w/the lovely Sue and she said that you were giving your talk at hers. Very cool! Can't wait to see the video. Will you post it on the AIN site?
Best wishes,
Belina

- Hi Matt,
Are you in Alaska already? I heard the airport got occupied by protesting penguins so I hope you got in. Thailand seems to be alright again and we have a switch somewhere in china so worst (?) case we go there:-)
Funny how you changed the egg, bird, human game to make is less competitive, it sounds really fun and easy! I usually use it to make people aware how most of us are competitive and how much more fun we have when we don't play (it) that way:-)
Tomorrow I have a literature 'date' with a friend of mine in which we inform each other about books we enjoyed and decrease reading time by telling each other about these books and I am looking forward to tell him about your gently down the stream book I am enjoying right now.
Wish you a fantastic and impressive holiday!

Jonathan Hughes said… - Hey Matt... fantastic to hear all this.. yup, my connection with Pachamama & the symposium has proved a real turning point for me in so many ways. It's called 'Awakening the Dreamer' over there - see http://awakeningthedreamer.org/ - I'll keep you posted if I hear Jon Love's doing one himself - he did the first one in the UK (May 2006) which was awesome. (When asked, 85 of the 100 of us there, wanted to train to deliver the thing.)Yup - it's pretty darn inspiring stuff - all the more so since AIN Chicago - and imagining the various crossovers between Pachamama & AIN. To me, this is the story that most needs telling - and AIN is all about bringing stories to life in vital new ways. Yadda yadda. Many thanks for the update Matt - & great that you singled out Jon & Tracy. Safe travels to Antarctica. When will you be there? (My ex-to-be & close mate Caroline is heading there soon). Yours playfully. JNH

- Hey Matt - recently landed back in the UK with my new love/other half after quite a trip (Chicago was my first stop!) - I won't be at the Pachamama luncheon - am in London for a while now - and do say a big hi to Lynne Twist (from Adrienne and me) - and especially to three others - Tracy Appple, Jon Love and Ruel Walker. (There are a good handful of others who will know both A & me.) As the whole initiative / symposium is shifting towards being more interactive - I think there will be a lot of interest in the crossover between Pachamama & AIN. Enjoy!! And let's keep the lines open x
