Principles: Wherever It Happens Is The Right Place

The right place for us is the Impact Hub in Birmingham. It's lovely and the people there are lovely.

Each session will be given a space in the room and it always helps to put up a little sign saying what you're talking about there for people who are using the Law of Mobility to have a wander round and see what's happening.

But you always get to choose where you have your conversation. And every conversation is a valuable bit of our work, no matter where it happens.

Throughout the day you'll be having ideas and conversations - wherever it's happening, whether it's in a session or over lunch or outside the loos - it's the right place, it's OK. Sometimes you might need to get away from the main group and have some quiet time on your own to just mull over something you just heard or thought. That's OK. If you see someone who might be doing this, let them go off for a while, they'll come back when they're ready.

You might realise that your session needs to actually be a walk around the block to get some fresh air (well, y'know, what passes for fresh air in central Birmingham...).

The right place might be in the pub afterwards or on the train or in the shower the next morning. All of these are OK.
