The Tao of Holding Space

This quiet little book is an unusual sort of leadership guide, and one that continues to have a big impact on my work.

Each chapter starts with a verse from the Tao Te Ching (pronounced: Daode Jing), followed by a short reflection on the art of Holding Space as a facilitator, by Open Space facilitator Chris Corrigan.

If you hold space for meaningful work with individuals or groups I encourage you to get Chris’s free ebook. I also created a jumbo card deck edition, for use when I teach, which you can buy online.
