I think Milton Erikson was dying at the time. Carolyn Attneave convened a tribal meeting of the committee of the whole. In order to pay attention to these possibilities we have to challenge our tendency to only focus on the work. At a recent Board meeting we had no time to discuss connectivity or spend much time with each other because there were too many other things to decide. We at AFTA are part of the current cultural phenomenon of having less time and doing more work.
Connectivity requires quiet space to pick up our heads, look around and see one another.
This sometimes happens at AFTA in wonderful ways and we also want to collect those stories, but we hope with reflection this will happen more consistently for more members. We request that you send us examples of what is working for you, what is not including those stories that you believe are not being told, but need to be heard. If you have suggestions of what we may do to further connectivity we would like to hear those as well. If you wish to be a member of the committee, let us know and join us at our committee meeting at the Annual Meeting.
