South African Evaluations (The Dance of the Hero)

Last October we were in South Africa. Partly for work, partly for wandering around in the South African wilderness.

Impression to our wanderings: photo's


Work meant facilitating  The Dance of the Hero workshops for educators (EDUC7 Conference) and for entreprneurs (ACRE18 Conference).





 That was great! The enthusiasm and the eagerness of the participants I experienced during the workshops was such, that it felt as contributing meaningfully to answer their needs. As teacher/educator I loved to work with students, teacher and school managers. The challenges the schools face are big! Passion, flexibility and creativity were the main concepts we worked on. As entrepreneur I loved to work with entrepreneurs, managers, consultants and organizations, too. The challenges they face nowadays are perhaps different but still big as well! Innovation/creativity power and open mindedness were the main concepts we worked on. 
It was good to be at both EDUC7 & ACRE18. The congresses were different, so I could adapt my "The Dance of the Hero" to the different needs of different groups of participants. I like that (it's one of the basics of "The Dance of the Hero"!). 
Oh, I loved to do my niteflite: a combination of performance (Hold on to the Wind...!) and workshop  I myself learned a lot during both conferences, too! 

Before returning to the Netherlands I was invited to facilitate an extra workshop for an Assurance Company in Pretoria (Sanlam)

A couple of days ago I received the evaluations of my EDUC7/ACRE18-workshops The Dance of the Hero. They made me happy. I was right about the particpants' eagerness and enthusiasm! Now I knew I made a meaningful contribution to their quests. And I prtetend to go on doing so!
Surely again in South Africa. Of course in the Netherlands, too. Hopefully in the USA and India as well (invitations received).
