<p>The example has helped a lot Birgitta. This reminds me of the landmark course I did ages ago. it encouraged participants not to make assumptions as they are cause of conflicts and disagreements. Thank you! I need loads of coaching from you:-)</p>

I get unpatient with it sometimes, i mean the left part of the U, going down to the bottom. I told you I tend to be action oriented, wanting to move forward. It's partly my 'intolerance for ambiguity', being afraid of chaos, that we came up with the practice about 'not knowing'. It is such an important state of mind, a presence for a facilitator. I will be practising this probably for the rest of my life, LOL, as in the state of 'knowing' (e.g. knowing what should be done next) is where I feel most at ease, safe and secure. <br/><br/><br/></span></p>

<p>I was thinking of a television series in which a judge was doing mediation with neighbors who were having conflicts. As it turns out, it is not what people do that troubles us most, but the motives we ascribe to them, like "He creates trouble on purpose", "She is parking her new car in front of my house to block my view, she wants to brag that she can afford to buy a new car", etc. <br/><br/>In dealing with conflict it is important to distinguish the <strong><em>facts</em></strong> (what exactly happened) from the impact it has (emotionally and behaviors) or the thoughts (interpretations, speculations, assumptions) that go with it. </p>
<p>I'm sorry that I cannot come up with more examples. But when you think of trouble with neighbors, maybe something comes to your mind. </p> You are a deep thinker.

<p>Birgitta, thank you... once again I am amazed at the depth of reflection and experience that you three ladies bring to the Triad!<br/> <br/> Particularly amazed (though not surprised) that you have grasped in such a short time span (and probably helped by your extensive experience as coaches) something which I am not sure we have yet managed to theorize in our way of introducing SALT: that rich and transformative bridge between the L and the A, between appreciation and listening, as well as learning from what is unfolding.... to me it feels like a mix of your first and second practice. Being open and curious about the many insights we receive of any situation as it is unfolding, and the fact that these insights are not limited to intellectual learning from a situation, but from all the learning we can get from listening to and appreciating what goes on in "mind body and feeling" as you so nicely put it; mind, body and heart! That coupled with trusting the unknown and the process!!!!<br/> <br/> Yesterday, I was asked an excellent question by our friend Boaz Pollé, currently doing research into SALT (which we are so grateful for!). He asked: "when working with a community, what in your experience sparks the shift from the (inactive) potential to the activation of that potential in the community?".<br/> <br/> After much thought I said: it's because of the bridge between the "A" and the "L"... it's the bridge between your 1 and your 2 :) .</p>
<p>A concept which I have found useful to describe that is <a href="https://www.presencing.com/theoryu" target="_blank">Theory U</a>'s concept of "presencing", a mixture of presence and sensing, <em>“sensing and actualizing one’s highest future possibility—acting from the presence of what is wanting to emerge.”</em> Only then can we truly appreciate what the potential is, and stimulate its birth into the world...<br/> <br/> Again, thanks so much Birgitta, Suse and Anita for the continuous inspiration you gift us with :) !

<p>Thanks Birgitta, this post is rich in inspiration. I reflected on my similar experience more than five years ago. The Blended Learning, really does contribute to our deepening our understanding and internalizing SALT / CLCP. And sure this contributes to the series "[.......] and this is why I appreciate SALT." (^_^)</p>

<p>I am sincerely looking forward to the replicate effect of YOUR shared experience.</p>
