Is this not just circumventing the PM system of old. Will you make sure the poster and vet do not get emotionally involved.
What happens if the poster does not move forward or gets some advice that has some legal ramifications?
There is one huge flag with this system that I can see already.
You have someone who is posting what the view is at the top of the mountain to someone who has begun their climb. So most of words get lost in translation. As they have not reached that altitude yet. The vet gets frustrated because the view is clear looking down. The climber gets frustrated because they are climbing and cannot see the top.
One of the great things about DB is that you get people from all different view points and different mountains talking. People in different parts of the climb. It allows for more growth. As more than one person is learning and growing.
There is no know all see all seer. And those who are newer on this path post their knowledge and wisdom along with those who are further ahead.
And to be blunt. I have seen things like this start before here and when it needs support no-one is around from the site to help it out. So it just dies.
If you want to make something like this. Then why not create a new sub cat or put it where it should be "Staying Solution-Focused Workshop". Where it can be allowed to flourish or die and not take away the purpose of the newcomers area which is to post our stories.
I really appreciate your concerns.
PM was about personal contact outside the board, and this is not that. This is just focused running with a pacer. Or having one person dedicated to helping you move forward and make progress. This is remove the guru, and build the skillset of everyone.
About initiatives that die. You're right. Because one person can't carry it on. So a lot of stuff I start falls apart if my personal or work life doesn't allow it.
So don't let it die if you don't want it to. The onus is NOT on the DB staff. It's on contributers and what they want.
I have a personal interest in the DB skillset, so I try to help folks with that...when I can.
Why not take it on yourself?
DB Coaches are too busy with their personal clientele. As much as we'd love to see their active participation on the board...I've suggested it myself, it isn't going to happen.
So it's easy to be a naysayer....do the opposite...provide your own skillset, build your own skillset and take it to a new level.
