Episode #45: Someone Has to be the Grownup in the Room!

The Growth and Resilience Network® with Steve Piscitelli

Community transformation does not just appear. It requires vision, thought, communication, respect, difficult questioning, and attentive listening. Transformational leaders help orchestrate that communal dance. They recognize that establishing a “shared vision” requires tough conversations.

Intentions may be good, but attention may not stray far from an individual agenda. The bigger picture can get lost in collective...

This episode explores how a beach community (Atlantic Beach, Florida) came together to create a venue for musical dreams that in turn helps create pathways for other rainbows.

As Izzy sings in one of her original compositions (at the end of the podcast), “You’re my friend, and I love you.” For more on this event and community building and sustainability see the book "Community as a Safe Place to Land" by Steve Piscitelli (Atlantic Beach, FL: The Growth...

This SPECIAL podcast episode complements my latest book "Community as a Safe Place to Land."

Episode # 42: Helping a Village Find Its Voice (New Town Success Zone)

The Growth and Resilience Network® with Steve Piscitelli

Episode #42 looks at one community's challenges and hope. When people move toward their collective rainbows—their dreams—the community can see all manner of hope and possibility. Whether they seem impossibly distant or close at hand, they need to marshal strength, energy, and resources to move forward. The community members step up and take responsibility for vision and actions. We have heard that the village raises up a child. But what can be done if the village itself needs to be raised up? What do we do, for instance, if the village has inadequate infrastructure, health disparities,...
