Hi David - just catching up and realise you sent a kind message of welcome. I'd like to hear more about the group.

3rd time tried to reply...

Thanks!

LOL 'emoji should be here'

Hi David, 

So sorry I didn't reply earlier, lost my details-just found.

Thanks for your kind comments re photo, taken in Iceland a few years ago and I guess represents me to a T, seeking, curious...

Hope this finds you well, 

Best, 

David

Hello David,

Can I know the guidelines of Blog post?

Hello David,

First thanks to approve my account. I got your reference by Google

Thanks for connecting David - look forward to meeting you soon.

Hello David, thank you. I look forward to working with AMED and reviewing the article.

Best,

Glen

Hi David

Thank you for the welcome and glad to be part on this!!! 

Hi David

Thanks for the welcome and heads-up about my info page.  Still familiarising myself with the set....:-)

Looking forward to working with Tim's group dynamics workshops!

Judeline

Thanks for the welcome David, and you're right it's an amazing trasition from engineering, if not necessarily an easy one. I did manage to upload a profile photo, but only after uploading it to the wrong area of the site completely! (can't seem to delete it from there either). Also I've submitted a paper I've written on leadership as part of some work I've done at Roffey Park which might be of interest. Thanks again and I look forward to having a good look around the site.

Hi David

Thanks for the comment! Rejoining AMED after a 25 yr break...finding a few that I know!

Alison

Thanks David, I've come across it a number of times - through the Deming Alliance, and was prompted to join because of Barry Oshry writing an article! 

Cheers

Hi David,

Thank you for your message, it is an exciting time with lots of work to be done.

The charity has grown considerably over the last year with all of the extra work load this put on the HR team Ruth our Head of Organisational Development was appointed, she in turn brought me in along with an Organisational Development Project Coordinator.

Thanks, Laura

Hi David

The site was recommended to me through Roffey Park (Just started their People & OD MSc programme) and I certainly hope BA are still employing OD consultants otherwise I'm in trouble!

Alison

Hi David,

Thanks for the 'welcome'. Looking forward to meeting you on the 21st November.

Hi David,

Well we got a full house, and used a venue which worked very well and had fabulous food.  We worked well as a team: one of the least stressful events I've organised.  There was a wide range of responses to the format and the conversations we ended up having. Some people really felt they had an exhilarating and different kind of day, others felt they were treading a circle they'd trod many times before and that the conversation was neither deep nor open.  Fascinating that the same objective experience is felt so differently by the people who are collectively making it.

I'd love to run something along these lines again, and understand more what enables the "deep open" connection to occur for some and what gets in the way for others.

Cheers

Penny

Hi David,

Thanks for getting in touch so quickly.  I've been an AMED member since the 1990s, so not a re-join.  Some confusion over my email address left me out of the loop but I'm back in it now!

Kind regards,

Irene

Hi David,

Thanks for your message and please accept my apologies for my apparent tardiness in replying-I lost your email, found it, tagged it but have only now gotten round to replying to you...

I was on holiday last year in Iceland, a beautiful country, so much to see but so little time-I will return some day...speaking of which I will return to AMED too, and visit the different forums as suggested separately

Thanks again, and best wishes,

David (the other...)
