Tingsha Bell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tingsha Tibetan tingsha (or Ting-Sha) (Tibetan: ཏིང་ཤགས་, Wylie: ting- shags) are small cymbals used in prayer and rituals by Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. Two cymbals are joined together by a leather strap or chain. The cymbals are struck together producing a clear and high pitched tone. Typical sizes range from 2.5–4 inches in diameter. Tingsha are very thick and produce a unique long ringing tone. Antique tingsha were made from special bronze alloys that produce harmonic overtones. 7

- 21. Keynote from Henri, co-creator of Liberating Structures “Welcome to the world of Liberating Structures! I could make many promises to you about what will happen when you start using LS, both for you and for the people you will include, but I will instead invite you to find out by yourself. I can do this because many LS are so simple that you can jump right in, try them out and experiment without lengthy preparations or training. Yes it helps to be exposed to them first like you will be today but remember that exposure is not learning: there is only one way to learn: PRACTICE! Just like swimming: can’t learn without getting wet! You will not take too much of a risk experimenting since your outcomeswhile using LS will be better than you would have achieved with the “usual routine”. And your participants will be pleased and grateful. So go ahead immediately after this first experience and JUST DO IT! 21
- 22. Keynote from Henri, co-creator of Liberating Structures If at all possible do all you can to find a partner (or more than one) with whom to practice using LS: it is effective, much more fun and it will greatly accelerate learning as you debriefand prepare together. Share and show LS to as many people around you as you can. Not just Agile but anybody. This will develop your practice and create many more opportunitiesfor you to learn as others will share their experiences with you. Your influence will grow while you help build a community that will nourish you and support you. Use the LS selection matrix and its list of objectives to look around you for daily opportunities to use LS with some of the people around you. You can be sure opportunities are there. 22
- 23. Keynote from Henri, co-creator of Liberating Structures Work with people who are curious, interested in doing something different and attracted to what LS can offer. In other words go where the positive energy is and don’t waste your time trying to convince people who are resisting, arguing, etc.. Offer the use of LS, explain why, the likely outcomes and the benefits and if people accept it great, do it with them. Remind people that it is an invitation and if they give you a hard time, let it go, quickly! OK that is enough, probably already too much. Except for one last thing: make sure you have fun. Hard work is OK but no joy, no satisfaction is a sure sign that something is wrong. Time out and debrief: What? So what? Now what? 23
- 24. Keynote from Henri, co-creator of Liberating Structures One more last thing: remember that, wheneveryou are thinking or trying to deal with a challenge, you and your brain make a group, a group of two: you are in conversation with your brain. Many of the questionsthat are embedded in LS can help/guideyour dialogue (What’s my 15%? If I were 10 times bolder what would I do? What’s my deeper purpose here? Why? Why? Why is this important?etc..).Also many of the structural sequences of questionscan help you organize and progress your thoughts (What,so what, now what? TRIZ; Ecocycle; DAD; etc..).Using bits and pieces of LS for yourself is a great way to practice, learn and benefit personally from LS. 24
