What a difference these leaders have made in our community - already!

Let me conclude an incredible Leadership Thunder Bay year with an invitation to  a piece written by Peter Block in his book, "Community: The Structure of Belonging".

"The context that restores community is one of
possibility,
generosity,
and gifts -
rather than one of problem solving, fear and retribution.

A new context acknowledges that we have all the
capacity,
expertise
and resources that an alternative future requires.
Communities are human systems
given form by conversations
that build relatedness,
where citizens show up by choice.

The SMALL GROUP
is the unit of transformation
and the
 container
for the experience of belonging.

Conversations that focus on stories, parables and a focus on the future,
restore our communities (and our people).


A heartfelt THANK YOU
to our Host Organizations
for allowing our small CAP teams
become part of YOUR Conversations
and YOUR futures!

Best,
Maggie
