• Playing down the process

  
  Johnnie Moores Weblog — Authority: 123
  I wrote the other day about the dangers of facilitators who are in love with their process. When that happens, I think theyre actually relating to their idea, rather than to the people in front of them. Its a mistake Ive caught myself making many times.

  — Authority:
  I like being the center of inattention. — Sparrow I love Sparrow’s aphorisms, but this one especially snagged my heart. It speaks of the space I inhabit when I facilitate effectively—becoming a creator of process that works for others and is not about me. Photo attribution: Flickr user hjiang196
