AMED - Association for Management Education and Development

AMED Writers' Group - Friday 7 April, from 11 am - 2.45 pm

'This will take place in Irene MacWilliam's house, Southampton, on Friday 7 April, from 11 am - 2.45 pm, including a light lunch (we all contribute something, usually in kind). At the time of writing, three people have definitely asked for some space: Melanie, who's written a Buddhist-influenced book 'Mastering Your Inner Critic – Releasing Your Inner Wisdom – which (in Melanie's words) 'is now completed and looking for a publisher!!'; Irene, who's about to take a six-month sabbatical in Berlin to write amongst other things about hidden conflict in organisations; and me, who doesn't yet quite know what he's going to write/talk about yet, but it will possibly be something about giving myself permission to write about writing as a facilitative intervention. So there's still plenty of space for you if you'd like to come along.

The agenda is always open and emergent, although some people sometimes come (as Irene on this occasion) with a specific theme that they'd like to discuss. We generally do a little catch-up, a quick round of agenda-building, then we each have a dedicated slot based upon equitable sharing of time, finishing with an agreement of when and where we're going to meet next (roughly at two-monthly intervals, interspersed with the occasional event). It's very informal and supportive - a fine example of 'critical friendship' in my view, revolving around a general interest in writing for personal, professional or creative development.

Perhaps you could let me know by Tuesday at the latest whether or not you'd like to come, and I can then give you directions etc?
