I’ll Show You the Change: A Transformative Moment and the Complex Art of Personally Evaluating Open Space Technology

Ellen Regos, from the Metropolitan Waste Management Group, has taken the narrative thread that weaved its way through the Show Me the Change Conference to heart and written her story. She has captured the essence of sitting with uncertainty, disappointment and fear and the moment of transformation – a moment where everything is the same, yet everything is different.

For Ellen, this moment came during the conference. For others it may come at another time and place – or it may never come. The sum of our experiences is what makes us who we are, and some experiences resonate more than others.

As a group responsible for designing this conference we are grateful to Ellen for capturing the essence of our approach – opening up to complexity by immersion in complexity; conversations, relationship building then transactions; providing space to share our stories and questions; and a narrative thread held together by our individual and collective experiences.
