“The process Leaves of Change VT facilitated made the space for the team to ‘do the work’. The time spent together allowed us to get beyond the typical reporting out at our board meetings and move into visioning. At times it was tense, yet you held the space, validated different ideas, and honored what was offered by the community interviews, allowing the board members who have been entrenched in the ‘old way’ of doing business to look at new ideas.”
