I've just read a fabulous book and OK it's not actually "A Penguin book," it's a book on Change Management that uses Penguins to create a fable that illustrate challenges presented by change, and strategies for driving change. It's called Our Iceberg is Melting and is by John Kotter.
I loved this book. It's kind of The one minute manager of change management but deeper and fuller. It's well worth a read not just from a learning point of view BUT also if you've ever been involved in bringing 'change' to a Church you WILL REALLY recognize some of the penguins (and either laugh or cry).
Read the book and join the 'Fred Fan Club' I'm starting :-)
I'm doing some work around Confirmation preparation at the moment and putting some training together. I'm thinking that I might use this book to provide the framework in terms of identifying threat and driving change ......

Ignoring the correct or incorrect chronological assumption, I am left wondering:
This blog will remain several carriages short of a full service until September but you can find me in either the "Tiny Tea Tent" or the "Organic beer tent" at Greenbelt* if you want to chat over the weekend :-)
This is a public service announcement! Youthblog is closed for most of August to allow essential ongoing maintenance, maintenance of me that is, not the blog. I've got some time off work, besides which a good proportion of folk who pop in to the site are away leading camps anyway. So erm .............. don't watch this space, at least not for a couple of weeks and I hope you'll rejoin the mish-mash that this blog is in September.
