Personal Planning for Results is a dynamic (constantly exploring and adapting), comprehensive (taking into consideration everything that affects your life), intentional (what you care about and choose), and futuric approach (based on your intuition and creative insight).
An opportunity to learn and do a comprehensive personal plan for your life using ICA's natural planning process. Participants will describe their own current situation, identify their practical vision for the future they choose, discover what is blocking that vision from becoming reality and must therefore must change, and begin working out the actions and implementation steps for making it happen. This practical on-going learning process provides not a one-time fixed answer, but rather a fluid thinking process that is continually developing, deepening and adjusting to your personal situation as well as to social changes. The Personal Planning for Results depends on one's clarity of his/her assessment of the "now" and intention and declaration regarding the future you choose to turn into reality.

Why do some participant fall asleep, during the "most important part" of a learning event?
How do we, as facilitators and educators, move learning from the "head" to the "body?"

Jimbo Clark:
I am a native of Seattle, and moved to Taiwan for a six month visit 16 years ago, and am still loving life here, thanks primarily to my lovely wife Anita, and our 3 year old son John. I work exclusively for Learning Technology Ltd. as a manager, trainer and meeting facilitator. My style is a mix of high energy presentations, learning activities, music, and small and large group discussions, all in a playful, yet respectful environment. I "facilitated" the closing Drum Circle last year, and did a session where we played one of my favorite learning activities, "Human Poker." One of my greatest joys in life is to share learning experiences with people, and look forward to interacting with those brave souls who choose to "Learn Through Experience" with me in this year's CFC.
In a relaxed atmosphere, we will see future development more clearly! Take this opportunity to explore and learn from other participants. This will be a great opportunity to ground our facilitation community and a great chance to see how Open Space Technology can be used in facilitating groups.
