If you have already read my blog entry, forgive me but I want to flag a new website that I have contributed to.
If you are a client of mine, you will know that the space between Christmas and New Year is a powerful space for reviewing the old year and visioning/planning for the forthcoming year(s). I encourage clients to use this time with a process I have developed over the years, one I use myself. There is the short form and the long form of this process (email me for further details if you are interested in knowing more).
Now there is a website devoted to this idea which gives you a practical five-day framework so you can use "Twixtmas" for your own growth and development. I contribute on Day 2. Go to the site and use it; I'd be really interested to hear what you think about it.
Have a peaceful and fruitful Christmas and may you live your dreams in 2009!
David

Last Friday saw the first ever Open Space in Yorkshire to focus on Leadership in the county. The focus question was: "What kind of leadership do we want in Yorkshire and how do we get it?" The event was delivered by the Yorkshire Leadership Programme and sponsored by the West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network.
Author and organisational development expert David Firth facilitated the event assisted by myself and Jeff Gold from the Northern Leadership Academy. The Services to Business team from Wakefield College ably provided the management of the day - including the catering!
The event attracted seventy people from businesses and the public and voluntary sectors. It was a powerful mix and the twenty-four conversations that took place through the day (including one that was a walk in the park!) produced some insightful suggestions for action to make a positive difference to leadership development in Yorkshire.
I received a lot of positive feedback from participants, including the desire for more Open Space events - so watch this space!
We have set up an online Open Space to continue the conversations in an online forum. If you are interested in joining the forum to contribute your views about leadership development; email me and I will set up for you to join.
To see photographs of the event please go to my Flickr photo blog - see the link.
