I’ve been a participant in these virtual forums several times now, most recently as a participant in the World Café Signature Learning Program. I always come away from a World Café experience feeling that…See More

- Hey Joan, thanks! sorry for the delay. Here is the recording of that session.
I like your metaphorical imagination of the gardening... definitely resonating with you on that. Can you link me to your LinkedIn group? would like to join. Hah, doing landscaping :) is that more the architecture work before the gardening can start?
warmly, /b

- Hi Joan, welcome into this World Cafe Online Community of Learning and Practice :)
Wow, sounds great what you are equipped with! Unfortunately you just missed our monthly virtual World Cafe call, but the next one might be interesting for you to attend.
Joan, if you feel good about taking some time to write an introduction about yourself in the space we created for this - then please do so.
Also my sense is that there are some groups and discussion-threads that might inspire you to contribute and to harvest... the search function might help you jump straight to the juicy spots.
May this space serve you well...
Please let me know if i can help you with anything here,
Benjamin [Global Communications team member]
