“We can’t solve problems using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” ~Albert Einstein

The way we have always done things is no longer working. The issues and challenges we face as local communities and a global community, are more complex than ever. Participatory leadership recognizes where and why traditional leadership falls short. It challenges the beliefs and assumptions that form the base of those ideals.

In exploring the possibilities of participatory leadership, we will step into an experiential learning process that is designed with the belief that we have the resources we need – even thought we may not yet have the answers. Together, we can discover what is possible and what opportunities for change we can co-create. We will learn to foster leadership within ourselves and within the people with whom we live and work.

This gathering is not for spectators. It is for those who believe there is a better way; those who are tired of boring meetings, those who are tired of spinning wheels around the same issues; those who are ready to embrace ways to move forward with wise action and meaningful results.
