Thank you Biswa for setting up this wonderful channel for us to connect with one another. We hope to make this a vibrant place where we talk about AFERR and all the various ways we practice it. Eventually, we will have channels of varied disciplines like AFERR for Coaching, AFERR for Facilitation, AFERR for Learning Design and much more! We look forward to welcoming one and all who want to take control of their own cognition and "participate". Let's build together! 🔥
