Some important discoveries have arisen in these seminars

Choice-creating: This is the quality of thinking when we are at our best, more capable than decision-making, problem-solving, or creative thinking. Dynamic facilitation helps people to attain this high level of thinking on the big issues.
More about... Choice-creating
The Wisdom Council: Just as a dynamic facilitator can help individuals and small groups to attain choice-creating, a Wisdom Council can facilitate it in large systems – like corporations, cities, unions, or government agencies. It is a organizational innovation.
