My Gifts

Creating a healthy community can only happen when you and I let our gifts be known to the rest of the community. So often we're never asked what we're good at or what we might bring to the table.

From the book "Community: The Structure of Belonging" by Peter Block:
In community building, rather than focusing on our deficiencies and weaknesses, which will most likely not go away, we gain more leverage when we focus on the gifts we bring and seek ways to capitalize on them. Instead of problematizing people and work, the conversation that searches for our gifts brings the greatest change and results. The leadership task––indeed the task of every citizen––is to bring the gifts of those on the margin into the center. This is a core quality of a hospitable community, whose work is to bring into play the gifts of all its members, especially strangers.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOUR COMMUNITY?
