The Half-Remembered Face
There’s that moment — sometime near the beginning of the conference, you are walking past a group of people you don’t know, and a face catches your eye. Or perhaps you are sitting in the lobby and a stranger comes toward you, but the face is a little familiar. And there is that moment when &hellip Continue reading
“Brutti ma Buoni”
Just before CREA, I came across a cafe that offered an assortment of baked goods in a glass case. I noted that one little pile of meringues of utterly undistinguished appearance had an intriguing name: BRUTTI MA BUONI, i.e., “ugly but good”.

90 Minute Magic
When I started my trip to Sestri Levante this year, I didn’t take the, for me, usual way of travelling. Instead of coming by car from the Netherlands I chose, due to the lack of time, for taking the airplane. The first part of my trip took 90 minutes from home to Cologne airport.

Tentez le Oui, ET à la place du Oui, mais
Avec les Oui, ET il y avait tout de suite une énergie différente, positive, stimulante, qui permet de rebondir sur l’idée qui vient d’être exprimée en la complétant. Je me suis senti accueilli, valorisé par ce qui a été dit pour compléter mon idée. J’ai ressenti aussi l’envie de passer à l’action. Continue reading
View from the Lobby
This team of people had to work together and they had to rely on each other. Each Red-Shirt had designated responsibilities, to cover a location or a particular programs – but when something needed attention, they rallied to do whatever was needed, wherever it was needed. I never once heard, “that’s not my responsibility,” or “he was supposed to do that.” The standard response was “okay, what do I need to do?” Continue reading
