You should try to make Matti a CLT before he returns to us next August. And I'm not joking. We are trying to activate our memebers to take part in the trainer programme and it would be cool if Matti would be able to act as an example. "If an inflatable rubber duck can become a certified trainer, what's you're excuse" Take him with you to Trainer + Presenter and clock in the needed hours :-) Great post Jan!

The concepts which I will try to remember from your WHY section are: - How useful symbols are as a way to explain things - The fact that they appeal to people, make them smile and remind them of happy times (depending on the choice of symbol of course!)

Your mother sounds like a warm, wonderful person and a great example of someone who connects with others through feelings. I love the detail about asking her for directions and getting "details describing the view." I think the main message here is to recognize the different communication styles people have and accomodate them as much as you can.Well done! Francoise, This is a fascinating series.
