^{Sticky notes from a CMG executive meeting in November (via Tenneson Woolf).}

It really takes courage for someone inside an organization to invite a different way of meeting. They know clearly what they don’t want to continue. They have some sense of what they want to move toward. Yet, it is in the end, a paradigm shift. When the habit is presentations from a podium, sitting in circle is a courageous act. When the history is blasting grievances, small group conversations about values and possibilities are a courageous act…

It takes courage to work in new ways. Particularly with your immediate colleagues and friends. Yet so needed in the pioneering and evolutionary time we live in when we must risk the letting go of the old to find our way to the added benefit of the new. At the Guild. At CBC.

Tenneson Woolf, a ‘consulting, coaching, and community building’ guy offers his insights on a recent CMG (Canadian Media Guild) meeting in which they sat in a circle.
