With all we know why can’t we solve the healthcare challenges of the poor and displaced? What is the narrative that keeps us from creating sustainable solutions? Consumerism vs. Citizenship, Achievement vs. Collaboration, Autonomy vs. Relationship
Current policy and government and other funding streams serve to silo missions and activities towards one kind of problem, issues or challenge. This is now the dominant paradigm that drives how services are conceptualized, organized, and delivered. Including how we measure effectiveness and impact.
Need to overcome rules for planned programs of existing rational models of deliveryChallenge Paradigm of what creates authentic change.Rewrite rules of change leadership.Understanding what being helpful really mean?Courage to be bold and committed to a new way of being……
Creating the dialogue to support the efforts….
This is why we’re here today:
Why the focus on RelationshipsWe grow in, through, and toward relationships, in part, because they hold meaning for usConnection with others is central to our psychological well being, empathy, responsiveness (influence), and growth (ability to survive and thrive).Adapted from Frager & Fadiman (2006)
Creating Change is coupled with the ideas of making a difference, being a change agent, and contributing to another person’s well-being and productivityIt is an exploration of:Who are we What we have to contributeHow we each can increase the possibility of reaching our goals
communities/organizations change because people change themselves and their actions. People become engaged in their own destiny.
