Hey
I’ve already run this by Cont Ed where it lives (and they approved it), but I want to hear reflections here and ask if there are willing circles.
I know for many learners, sociocracy is still a mystery because they can’t picture how it would work. One possible way to give them a sense of that is to have them visit meetings.
Although I sometimes offer it to clients and students, not many take me up on it, probably because I can’t name specific times.
The idea
So I was wondering if we could pick 3 meetings in April that would be open to visitors. I was thinking they’d have to be quiet and off camera. At the end, we could make a forum thread for their questions and maybe the facilitator or leader is willing to answer them.
I wonder what an appropriate charge would be? Maybe $25 per person?
Then it would cover costs if 2-3 people do it because it’ll take a moment to set up but I think I’ll “reuse” a product and just do it manually until we see whether people are interested.
Is your circle willing to be visited?
The ideal circle meeting to visit would be a meeting where there are reports and policies/reviews, maybe a few actions steps (optional). Lots of rounds Probably best to show a circle of 5-6 people.
I could see Training Circle, Content Circle go for it and I’ll ask them. Any other circles around here that are willing?
