But, when added to your own thought that introversion creates strong observers, it resonates with me. I have a friend who I met when he facilitated a couple of workshops I attended. He's absolutely fantastic when working with a group. But, the first time we met informally for lunch, I was amazed to find that he's a quiet, deeply reflectful individual. And best of luck with your meeting tomorrow. I often remind myself that passions run high for those who genuinely care about something.

Just a guess. Great tips Chris and Chris. I am President of the Board of Theatre PEI and I am spending this afternoon preparing for a big meeting tomorrow. The meeting will be charged as I am introducing some fairly radical ideas. I am anticipating some elevated emotional responses, so all of this is very timely. Thanks. Curious, unattached, authentic...I like it. Introvert = observor = objective…??? Just a guess.

That has always struck me as a curious thing. Isn’t it interesting how so many of us in the facilitation field are introverts? That has always struck me as a curious thing.
