A week or so ago, I wrote about a woman in Spokane. I sent the same note to a few people with whom I’ve been in touch recently, and was surprised to hear back from so many:

Was that timely or what?!

and…

Just this morning I was going over ALL the things I have "to do." I have arrived at the same conclusions:

I AM a dreamer. I believe I CAN "change the world." To do so I need SPACE to dream and TIME to reflect, share and implement. To create that, I will harness my energy and passion, and focus them on just a few meaningful dreams.

This next week or two are dedicated to clearing the slate of "other stuff" to create a new space!

and…

The lady in Spokane hit the exact center of where I am and relieved me of much guilt. I had decided I was going to focus on  one thing and doing it to the best that I could. I am now involved up to my eyeballs. I can’t tell you how much better a board member I am and how much more I can contribute.

All three of these good folks have taken part in the Quest workshop, which is the learning experience at the root of all the stories told in the book, "What Kind of World Do You Want?"

That got me thinking.

I had tentatively set aside some time in October to provide the workshop for those who’ve been waiting for the opportunity. (The last one was in 2006.) Seeing the response to last week’s email, I asked myself: Am I up for it?

Yes, I’ve decided. But that’s it for another year, I’ve promised myself.

The workshop brings to life the ideas in the book. It’s designed to take an organization to its next level — by elevating the capabilities and efficacy of the members who are part of this cohort.

It is a powerful and rather unusual experience that goes far beyond routine professional development or "training." The group will be small and I want each seat to count, so there is a brief application.

[UPDATE: The workshop is now filled. If you’d like to receive information about future opportunities, please let us know by using the contact page.]
