Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation (Emergent Strategy Series Book 4)

by Adrienne Maree Brown

Attending to impact allows people to set intentions to the side and address that which has had impact. What was spoken? What was done? What decisions were made? What was overlooked? What was felt? What is needed?

Create more possibilities for the roles people can play to contribute to the work. Organizers are very necessary—and that isn’t, and can’t be, the only role in movement. Create more pathways into movement by helping people understand their skills, passions, and best contributions. We need great administrative thinkers, logistics queens, narrative/storytellers, healers, financially minded people, resource generators, educators, farmers, artists, writers, doulas of life and death, people who are great with children, and on and on. In the long run, we want all kinds of people with all kinds of jobs to see themselves as movement workers.

Write about who you are and what you bring to any room you enter as a facilitator.
