What Happens when Work Collides with Life in a Good Way?
This is the story of a wake-up call that started with the best intentions. It's the tale of a workaholic fiercely dedicated to the idea that LIFE at WORK should be vibrant, inclusive, productive, and joyful. From her early years as a journalist through her long career in manufacturing and consulting, she made this her mission and crusade. The irony is that in her ambitious quest, she was missing out on the best of HER life.
It took Open Space Technology, this simple meeting process that is so much more, to knock some sense into her. The World of Work and Open Space had something important to teach. Behind the complicated and complex lurked incredible simplicity. It defied reason and logic. Yet the results and the intense connections and collaborations could not be dismissed. Something that felt awfully familiar kept happening again and again. Human nature, at its best, kept showing up. An everyday occurrence in the world of Open Space.
How liberating it felt. To do less meant so much more. I had been warned to "Be Prepared to Be Surprised!" But never could I have guessed how Open Space would open the floodgates of my life. Leading me on a nomad journey full of freedom and adventure. First with a trailer in tow after selling house and home, then living a hybrid life in multiple places with love as the silver lining.
Of course, I stayed hooked to work and always will because life and work are one and the same. It's how things should be, and not just for me. It's why I wrote this book. Open Space on the Open Road: A Love Story. To share the "before and after" tales of opening space wherever I go and wherever I am.
