accepted the process and truly engaged with one another. I am a believer that AI
principles hold and my role was to facilitate the process but the work is in the people.
Inherently, the space we created and held for the employees at Prodigious evolved into
what they made out of the experience. Professionally, it was a wonderful experience to
witness change in others. The flow of the AI intervention felt natural. At first I was
resistant and didnt know if anything would happen. The client proved to me that we all
have what it takes inside of us. We simply need to be listened to and care for in order to
move toward change.
I left France with a more holistic point of view in order to adapt to situations,
other people and myself. I took the mantras Miriam presented at beginning - It Will All
Be OK and It Is Not Necessary To React - to heart and applied them everyday. So much
of my expectations were built on doing something so perfectly. My point of view had
changed. It doesn't have to be perfect. It can be right for the client based on research and
no prior experience simply by working together, asking questions, drilling deeper toward
the issue, remembering the business reason for making change and following my
intuition. Following the AI intervention and the multiple days at La Carpio,
understanding complexity and dialogue and stretching outside my comfort zone my
practice point of view has blended and expanded to include the true notion and practice
of selfless facilitation. Witnessing raw emotion, life and change in front of my eyes took
the focus off of me and transcended my heart and mind toward seeing change in others.
