Lesson 10: Let it go
Yes, but if you ask people you don't know to help you organize, doesn't that water down the concept too much? Yes, but if you ask your colleagues to give a training in a subject that interests them (imagine that!), don't you all get training in knitting and jigsaw? These kinds of fears quickly surface in many people when you challenge people to contribute something from their own motivation.
This is really not necessary. In fact, this last lesson is the same as the first: have confidence . Trust that the participants are perfectly capable of setting their own boundaries if you approach them positively. Of course: a small number of brazil telegram data trainings were a bit less directly work-related than we had in mind. But how bad is that? Bad enough to impose Official Rules and thus drain the energy?
