Instructions for Online Book Study 11 September for Two Months
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
Links and other information is included in this email for your participation in Book Charting of
A Compassionate Civilization: The Urgency of Sustainable Development and Mindful Activism—Reflections and Recommendations
Tomorrow, Monday, September 11th, is the first session. Start time is 3:00pm EDT. Arrive and Check-in 30 Min before the start time.
How to Participate: A headset with a built-in microphone is required to participate verbally. Arriving early will give us time to get your audio working properly. If you do not have a headset we will MUTE your mic. Without a hesdset there is a great echo that blasts the ears of other participants, your computers built-in mic is not adequate. If we need to put you on mute you may still participate by typing into the Chat Pod.

More on Trusted Sharing: You can join and start a conversation with anyone about anything. Unlike Facebook, a Trusted Sharing conversation stays intact and does not disappear in the daily roll down. Unlike Twitter, a Trusted Sharing conversation can be much richer and more useful. Many facilitation methods can be used on Trusted Sharing including the ToP® Focused Conversation, Workshop and Strategic Planning, World Café, Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry and others.
The value of a flex-time (Asynchronous) conversation is that people can participate anytime from anywhere. In addition to testing it this spring with my students at NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, I am also introducing it to the UN’s e-governance branch for use at the local, national, regional and global levels. And in
May we hope to introduce Trusted Sharing at a continental conference of the International Association of Facilitators. See more at: http://ica-international.org/gm-windswaves/ww-2015-april/new-app.htm
It is with a sincere pleasure that we are hosting this event,
Kathy McGrane & Cheryl Kartes
