Seven Principles of Shaping Change
I'm a writer and it's still hard for me to put into words how life-giving this community has been for me. I have benefitted personally, professionally, even spiritually. In a time of confusion, they have offered insight. In a time of struggle, they have offered inspiration. In a time of doubt, they have been a source of hope.
