Cream crackered

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I’m cream crackered (Baffled Americans see this explanation)

It’s been a good week and I’ve been “on-stage” for more of it that I’m used to. Quite a lot of facilitiation which I love doing. It’s been fun, I’ve learnt a lot but I’m now facilitated out. I’m looking forward to a Skype chat this weekend with Chris Corrigan. Amongst other things I want to see whether he gets that or has ways to avoid it.

For now as a typical introvert, I need to turn down the lights and disappear into some kind of cocoon for a bit.

Before hitting the switch, I’ll just commend Evelyn’s post: Chop Wood, Carry Water. This year I’ve been following an approach like the one Evelyn’s recommending… throwing smaller pieces of mud at more walls. It seems to be working.
