Reaching Across

Product Information

The midline is an invisible line that runs from head to feet, separating the two sides of the body. Scharmer, C. Otto and Katrin Kaufer. Leading From the Emerging Future: From Ego-System to Eco-System Economies, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2013, p.12.

All About Crossing the Midline – BabySparks All About Crossing the Midline – BabySparks

Through GGF, we helped promote personal and professional relationships that lasted beyond the respective program cycles. We organized regular GGF alumni reunions to develop a sense of community by jointly shaping and implementing these events with our fellows and alumni. This has given them a feeling of co-ownership not just within their cohort but in the entire GGF program. Subsequently, our alumni frequently self-organize and continue to hold regular local meet-ups. Many also welcome and host other GGF alumni when they visit their home town. GGF alumni also played an active role in our preparations for as well as during each round of the program: they nominated promising candidates during the application process, participated in GGF dialogue sessions as speakers for the entire cohort or as experts in the working groups, and opened their homes to host social evenings. An alumna from South Africa highlighted the importance of close relationships for the policy world, saying that “some of the biggest political shifts you have is through intimate relationships; intimacy is political.” The relationships that emerged during each fellowship round continue to be valuable even years later. Reflecting on the friendships she built during her time as a fellow, one alumna from the second cohort said: “I continue to tap into the GGF relationships. I came out with a network of people that I can call up and ask ‘stupid’ or ‘out-of-the-box’ questions that I would usually not ask a professional colleague.” Kids can sit or stand for this. They press their hands together in front of their bellies (fingertips straight.) The greatest asset of the program was the diversity of our fellows: three each from nine countries that represented different parts of the world – East and West, Global South and Global North – as well as the public, private and non-profit sectors. During a series of dialogue sessions spread out over the course of one year – with each meeting taking place in a different country and lasting several days – the different GGF cohorts all developed a collective energy that allowed them to foster a deep sense of community. Through genuine and repeated efforts to communicate with each other, they emerged from these sessions with a better understanding of and trust in each other. New candidate Jim Jordan has been unable to garner enough votes. “This would be a very embarrassing situation if these far-right Republicans were capable of being embarrassed,” he said.Some examples: teach your kids the Macarena, the Hustle (classic 70’s moves!), or do the “dab”! #10 Cleaning Up and Wiping Surfaces Research shows (Liederman 1983) that by around 20 weeks, if you hold a toy at around shoulder level diagonal from their hand, they should be able to reach across (contralateral reaching) their body for the toy, aka crossing midline. The presence of professional facilitators who are trained in generative formats is an important factor in successful dialogue processes. That holds especially true for multilateral and multi-stakeholder dialogues. In addition to a well-trained facilitation team, a successful dialogue program requires plenty of preparatory work. For GGF, this involved a consciously designed and implemented selection process to guarantee a mix of participants who were passionate about the GGF focus topics and open to learning and being challenged, who were aware of their own biases and limitations, and who demonstrated a desire to grow and connect with people from other parts of the world.

Midline crossing, or crossing the midline, is when a person’s arm or leg crosses the middle of the body to the other side.Stilwell, J.M. The development of manual midline crossing in 2- to 6-year-old children. Am. J. Occup. Ther. 1987, 41, 783–789. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed][ Green Version] You cross your midline when you put on your seatbelt or turn the steering wheel for a sharp turn. Midline crossing is also required when washing your body, putting on lotion, and getting dressed.

Development of midline crossing is connected to body awareness, bilateral integration (communication between both sides of the brain), core stability, and trunk rotation.

Their experiences as participants in the GGF multilateral dialogues allowed our fellows and alumni to get out of insular (national) policy debates. One alumnus, who currently works in the German public service noted that he became more aware of his own narrow paradigms: “In many organizations and institutionalized settings, group thinking occurs. It is very helpful and important to hear from others – also to realize that your own paradigms are not as obvious as they might seem from within your group.” The fellows also became aware of their own biases and recognized the limitations of their thinking. With regard to discussions about different approaches to local and global policymaking, one alumna from the US noted that “differences in tactics or strategies do not always mean differences in values.” Even if they slightly cross the middle of their trunk with their hand, they may turn and tip their head. They don’t allow the hand to move past their nose. Physiotherapists can also diagnose shoulder impingement and suggest exercises to help improve shoulder posture and further strengthen your muscles to improve your pain and range of movement. The program also thrived because of the support and commitment of a diverse set of partner institutionsfrom the GGF participating countries. Our network of partners consisted of leading academic institutions, foundations and think tanks. [4]These organizations hosted the GGF sessions in their respective countries and supported with outreach, among other things. They also brought in national leaders from diverse sectors as well as their own experts and researchers, who engaged with and debated the fellows on global policy issues during the sessions.

How does one provide a structure that allows individuals to be open to multiple perspectives while also shepherding a highly diverse group toward a common goal? We developed a structured communication framework that combines instruments from the discipline of strategic foresight, including scenario planning and risk assessments, with generative facilitation techniques that moved the group from a problem-oriented to a solution-oriented mindset and ultimately steered them toward a collective outcome. Have kids stand arms width apart. Encourage them to square up to the front of the room and to keep their legs, head, and body still.
