The idea fueling the Project for Community Transformation:
Every place, and every person, has not only value, but a gift to give.
We find this by listening, paying attention, not forcing an outcome prematurely, and finding the patterns of creative energy that are already there, ready to emerge.
We feel and then transform embarrassment when it is imposed on us for working in places and with communities that have been underestimated. This can come from our colleagues and mentors, our competitors, our families and friends, the very communities in which we work, and especially ourselves.
Upsurges of gifts ready to be shared and the stories they generate powerfully transform this negativity into belief.
