IT'S A TOOLBOX. USE DIFFERENT TOOLS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
This toolbox should be helpful for anyone interested in leading, teaching, facilitating, and/or empowering collaborative changemaking conversations. I designed the tools and resources in this toolbox to support my work in communities, as a team leader, as an educator, as a service learning leader, as a facilitator, as a social innovator, and as a strategic consultant. So, if you wear any of those hats, this toolbox should be of value.
