ANIMA BULLETIN

September 2010

We're entering the season of change. Leaves are turning colour, the year will soon be turning over. Change is a constant, yet what kind of change occurs is a choice. Consider for a moment: what changes are you committed to this fall?

Our upcoming courses are designed to stimulate thinking and enhance skills in this process of creating change-- for ourselves and within groups, organizations and systems we're part of. Facilitation, group dynamics, diversity and democracy are just some themes coming up!

Lastly, if you haven't already, become a fan of Anima Leadership on Facebook to receive course updates, tips, articles and other cool stuff.

We always look forward to hearing from you,
The Anima Team!
