Men vi skal gi han en unik sjanse.
En sjanse ikke mange får.
Vi har skrevet en tekst om hans liv,
Og vi rykker han ut av tid og rom for at han skal kunne analysere seg selv
og forstå hvorfor han har blitt slik som han har blitt.
Vi har til og med ført inn i teksten,
drømmekvinnen hans, hun som bare med
sin tilstedeværelse, sitt erotisk flammende blikk
skal legge han ned,
skal vise han rundt i det som kunne blitt hans liv.
| Translation - English
But we shall give him one more chance.
A chance not given to many.
We have penned a text about his life
And we will spirit him away from time and space so he can analyse himself
and understand why he became as he has now become.
From time to time we introduce into the text
the woman of his dreams, who simply
by her presence; her erotic, flaming glance
will overpower him,
and thus guide him through that which has become his life.

Vi skal forsvare det vi tror på, våre prinsipper og verdier, sier Chris Argyris, men vi skal gjøre det på en slik måte at vi inviterer til vurdering av dem og oppmuntrer andre til å gjøre det samme. Vi skal prøve å klargjøre egne resonnementer og oppmuntre oss selv og andre til å fortelle det vi vet, men frykter å si. Vi skal være sterke ved å forsvare våre egne posisjoner, men på en slik måte at vi også underkaster våre posisjoner undersøkelse og refleksjon. Følelse av sårbarhet er en styrke når vi samtidig vurderer hva som ligger bak sårbarheten. Vi skal øke både egne og andres evner til å bli konfrontert med egne idéer og resonnementer, slik at det skapes styrke og åpenhet til å stille seg ansikt til ansikt med egne skjulte antakelser, konklusjoner, handlinger og frykt. | Translation - English
We should defend what we believe in, our principles and values, says Chris Argyris, but we should do it in such a manner that we invite evaluation of them and encourage others to do the same. We should try to explain our own reasonings and encourage ourselves and others to express what we know, but are afraid to say. We should be strong in defending our own positions, but in such a way that we also accept scrutiny and reflection of our positions. A feeling of vulnerability is a strength when at the same time we evaluate what lies behind the vulnerability. We should extend both our own and others’ ability to be confronted with our own ideas and reasonings, so that we create strength and openness to stand face to face with one’s own presumptions, conclusions, actions and fears. |

My original education in New Zealand was in Education and Theology . I later specialised at Masters level in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland.
For 12 years I worked in New Zealand as a pastor, followed by 5 years in Northern Ireland as a church worker. After completing my MA studies in 1990, I joined a research group in the university working on the development of children's language in the classroom using computers. Later I became a lecturer in Religious Education in the university's teacher training department.
Since coming to Norway in 1995, I have taught English at all levels of education in the Norwegian education system. I have also had experience in translating and/or teaching for several large companies in Norway:NTE
