The Power of Gratitude and Hope in Collaborative Community Building Hats off to organizations involved in successful community building! I'm grateful to be working with such amazing community leaders. Together we are shaping community-building initiatives that are making a positive difference in our communities. Many people are successful, I believe, because they combine considerable professional skills with a passion for building a community that is rooted in hope. This hope in our ability to make a difference creates positive change when paired with access to the tools, resources, policies and levers of power needed to make long-lasting community change. Studies by the Happiness Project at the University of Pennsylvania and talks by The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu in The Book of Joy have been touchstones for me. Both focus on the importance of gratitude in building resiliency and hope. My "spiritual mother," Maggie Kuhn, who founded Gray Panthers, used ...

The Art of Communicating

The Art of Communicating Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 'Gift from the Sea' The word communicate comes from the Latin communis or common. We speak of a common room that everyone shares or a university commons where everyone shares the space. It indicates that two people or two groups have something shared in common but in our world today I maintain that there is nothing common about communication. Many of the world's problems and disputes can be traced to poor communication. The dictionary defines communication as the transmission of information, thought or feeling so that it is satisfactorily received or understood. As a working definition, we'll consider that communication has been successful if there is a shared understanding of those trying to communicate. So what is the result of shared understanding? What are the implications of a lack of shared understanding? Does shared und...

Fundamentally, it is slippery to characterize the term in an outright way since it can take such a significant number of structures, be applied by such a large number of various gatherings of individuals, and be aimed at such a wide scope of issues. The reason, be that as it may, that network media is a facilitative instrument for discourse and commitment of the customary populace has some innate ramifications. A significant ramification is that network media is generally autonomous of the market-driven business and predominant press outlets. This, thus, takes into consideration various models of network media to offer either a fully open article arrangement or an all the more tweaked approach that is as yet faithful to the support of network investment. The key qualities of network media pass on an all the more clear comprehension of its definition ju...
