Resilience

Liselotte-Baeijaert Celebration Introduced by Julia Kalenberg This story is of SF practitioner Liselotte-Baeijaert bringing SF to students of a school for hotel workers on the beautiful island of Sumba/Indonesia. A tale of how SF can work even when language first seems to be a barrier. It is a story of mutual learning, of working with what is there and of combining SF practice creatively with bodywork. Liselotte came across SF when she attended an SF training course for general practitioners by Luc Isebaert from the Korzybski Institute in Belgium. Back then, she worked as an HR expert in a bank. This first experience with SF inspired her to look for more SF training. She trained with Louis Cauffman, Insoo Kim Berg, Mark McKergow and Jenny Clarke, Peter Szabo, Ben Furman and many more.

John Brooker, Janine Waldman and Paul Z Jackson Resilience Pocketbook by Janine Waldman and Paul Z Jackson Management Pocketbooks.ISBN: 978-1 906610920 – 112 Pages Formerly an associate lecturer for the Open University in the UK, I received a late assignment from a student with a letter of apology for the delay. She explained that she had returned home to Spain for a course of chemotherapy treatment, was very sorry that she had missed the deadline and could I still mark it? Though a long while ago, I recall how much I admired her ability to deliver that piece of work. She had a full-time job in the UK, worked in her “spare” time on her MBA, dealt with the emotion of her illness, uprooted herself from the UK back to Spain, had therapy and still submitted an excellent assignment.
