Hi Natasha:
I am a friend of Shawn Cunningham and through him I learned about you. I am (also) the facilitator of the Market Facilitation Initiative (MaFI), a very interesting and growing community of practice focusing on the theory and practice of facilitation of pro-poor market development. At some point I would like to have you and Shawn stirring MaFI with your ideas on facilitation. In the meantime, I would like to integrate your posts into the news stream of MaFI (I did this already with Shawn’s blog) but I could not find an RSS feed for your blog. Is there one?
Thanks,
Lucho Osorio

Hi Natasha: I am really sorry for such late reply but I had not seen your kind response until today!
I managed to add your blog into the RSS feeds of The Market Facilitation Initiative. MaFI has currently 200 committed experts who will be reading your posts on facilitation!
I love facilitation because I’m able to help people solve their problems themselves, to create ideas which can actually work, to make difficult decisions and to enjoy doing what human beings (can) do best: improving their lives and having fun.
This blog is a way of conducting a discussion on facilitation and the facilitator role. I’d like to find out about what you think and interact with the global community of facilitators and those who see the benefits of being facilitated!
I’m 41 and have 17 years international experience of facilitation – mostly offline, but increasingly and with great interest online. I’m at home with both small and large groups, dividing my time between working on strategy processes with excellent companies and governmental and societal organisations. I have had the privilege to build up skills and knowledge in the fields of energy, biodiversity and sustainability, regional and economic development, citizen participation and organisational development. That means my work’s all about change.

In case you want to know more about MaFI: http://bit.ly/aboutmafi
It would be great to have you in MaFI as one of the facilitation experts… let me know if you are interested.
Best regards,

PS: I’ll go back to my usual stirring…
