This document discusses a workshop held in Cowie, Scotland to discuss local leadership and the future of the place. It provides demographic information about Cowie. Participants discussed what Cowie means to them, both positive and negative aspects, and barriers to improving the place. Ideas were generated for collaboration between community groups and the local council to improve services and facilities through a shared leadership forum and communication. The discussion emphasized the importance of the "soft stuff" like communication, continuity, care and relationships to building a cohesive community and shaping the future of the place.
This is the presentation we gave for a “This Place Matters” event in the Top of the Town in Stirling . It was organised for us by Stirling Council and attended by local leaders from the Council, from other public sector agencies, from the private sector and the community.

We want to work in new ways so that we can collectively identify local needs and priorities. We want to test community led solutions to local issues (tangible projects)
Why is place so important?
Places condition our livesThey matter to human experience
Places condition our democracy
Good places attract - Failing places repel
Place is the physical ‘container’ for all the people, institutions and activities that occupy it
Place-making involves economy, society and environment

Seeds of Change: How to Take a Small Group and Make It GreatDarren Lipman
This slideshow will lead viewers through the processes and techniques of leading a small group to success when faced with the challenges of a diverse and short-on-time community with high turn-around, especially suited for community college leaders. Topics to be discussed include leading meetings, inspiring action in others, member retention, successful event planning, and preparing a leadership base to continue group success after current leaders have moved on from the group. Seeds of Change was first presented at the Equality North Carolina Conference & Gala on November 12, 2011.

After steadily accumulating site-based infrastructure and resources for more than ten years, this charitable organization based in Ottawa, Canada, made a radical shift in thinking and actions. Starting in 2008 and over a period of three years, the agency completed a full transition away from day programs and other sheltered activities, finding new energy and synergies through partnership with hundreds of individuals and partners in the community.
For individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families, in addition to the enjoyment of concrete results that range from employment to the development of new friendships, they report dramatic new feelings of hope and possibility, finding new energy through escape from ongoing dialogues about systems limitations and scarcity.
Informed by collaboration with other agencies and thought leaders that have embraced person-centred and social capital concepts and models, LiveWorkPlay now seeks to encourage and support other agencies and jurisdictions to pursue similar transitions.

Unlike direct response and special events, a major gift solicitation is most likely to succeed only when you physically and psychologically get in "front" of your prospects. Involvement is the key.
Moves Management, initially developed by G.T. "Buck" Smith and David Dunlop at Cornell University, is a disciplined process of relationship management that is the best way to assure the maximum return on investment.

Steven Ames Community Visioning Masterclass Part 3 April 2014Engage2
During this stage of the Community Visioning masterclass (light) delivered to NSW Planning, Steve spoke to the importance of re-engaging stakeholders to ensure continued stewardship and relevance while demonstrating progress.
The secret is out and the research is clear - strong company cultures are huge multipliers of success. Your company may have the best strategy and the best product or service around but if your culture is weak your business will only achieve a fraction of the success it’s capable of reaching.
Every company has a culture and our cultures will either end up helping or hindering our bottom line. So why aren’t we talking more about it?
In this presentation you will learn our approach for managing the complexities of cultural transformations by employing an Agile mindset, a focus on the elephant, and viewing people through the Tribal Leadership lens.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education in today's world, the ability to navigate complex change is crucial for leaders and organizations. Leading such change requires building the buy-in of stakeholders, address roadblocks hindering progress, and fostering a culture of experimentation that embraces calculated risks and encourages learning from failures. This workshop introduces the concept of transformative leadership, introducing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to guide leaders and organizations as they tackle complex challenges where no obvious solution exists.
These slides are from a workshop run at the Aurora Institute Symposium in Palm Springs, October 2023
Presentation from the final session a the CORE retreat - thinking about change, transformation, the future and how we as a company can be positioned to serve our community and clients to prepare them for their future and not our past.

Changes in technology, health, transportation and a growing number of home based services (grocery delivery, Uber, home healthcare, etc.) are shifting the way that people are thinking about spending their golden years. This is especially true for Boomers. They don't want to live or spend their time and money the way their parents do. They are looking for non-traditional alternatives and different ways of living. Presented at the Leading Age Colorado Annual Conference, experts talked about the changes that are taking place, and how you can shape your community and service offerings to accommodate this next demographic wave.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

re-thinking local leadership
What do we want our
place to be like?
How do we get there?
3. • Places condition our lives
They matter to human
experience
• Places can help or hinder our
democracy
• Good places attract
Failing places repel
• Place is the physical ‘container’
for all the people, institutions and
activities that occupy it
• Place-making involves economy,
society and environment
WHY Place Matters
Why is place so important?
4. • Local governance is about more
than delivering services
• It is about making places
successful, now and for the future
• It has to involve everyone
• Learning what makes places
succeed or fail should be at its heart
• It’s often no more expensive to
create successful places than failing
ones. It just needs care and
advance thought
WHY Place Matters
Shaping places is about governance
5. • Leadership drives forward
action, breeds confidence,
reduces risk & widens
participation
• Leadership is about
vision, culture, motivation,
resources.
• This cannot be privatised – it
needs local action within a local
democratic mandate
WHY Place Matters
Shaping places needs leadership

What makes a successful place?
COWIE
26. 5 characteristics of successful places
• Places intended for people
• Well connected & permeable
places
• Places of mixed use & varied
density
• Distinctive places
• Sustainable, resilient & robust
places
WHY Place Matters
27. Places intended for people
• Successful places attract
people, and encourage them
to linger and return
• The more diverse the
activities on offer, the more
people will come
• But people want to feel safe,
comfortable & not be
overwhelmed by traffic or
the scale of the environment
WHY Place Matters
28. Well connected & permeable places
• Successful places allow
people to move in & through
them easily, especially on
foot or bicycle
• They have meeting places
and stopping places
• Places that are better
connected and easily
accessible attract more
trade & are more lively
WHY Place Matters
29. Places of mixed use & varied density
• Towns traditionally grew &
developed as a patchwork of
mixed activities & uses
• But, until recently, developers
and planners have preferred to
separate out activities & uses
• Mixing up uses within any
building, street or area brings
variety and vitality to places.
What should be the limits to
this?
WHY Place Matters
30. Distinctive places
Successful places places are
distinctive & memorable
But too many places across the
UK are virtually the same, with
the same house types, same
national chain stores, and the
same branded restaurants
Let’s tackle urban monotony by
encouraging places to be
different!
WHY Place Matters
31. Sustainable, resilient & robust places
• Sustainable design means
creating places that last for
generations & reduce
climate change
• Places that are resilient
‘bounce back’ from
unexpected change
• Places that are robust are
flexible enough to modified
without excessive
disruption

So let’s look at why STORIES might have something to offer in motivating others to join us in action. To do this let’s think for a moment about the different ways we understand the world around us, the challenges we face and the action we might take. Psychologists tell us that we are capable of understanding the world in two distinct ways – the HEAD mode and the HEART mode.
The head mode helps us with strategy and analysis. It helps us to answer HOW questions. How we should run a campaign or how we can maximise turn out at an election? Leadership obviously requires these skills. But don’t we often act as if this is the only way of understanding the world around us? When we are trying to seek support don’t we act as if only we could find the right argument or piece of evidence surely others would come around to our way of thinking?
One of the reasons why this often fails is because is misses out the second way we have of looking at the world – the heart mode. The heart mode helps us to understand the world in completely different way. In terms of whether things are good or bad for us, hopeful or depressing, attractive or repulsive. The heart mode helps us to answer the WHY questions. Why should I care about this injustice or why should I vote for this candidate? As we’ll explore further during this workshop this is the domain of story rather than strategy.
Effective leadership requires both these modes – the head and the heart in order to move the hands – that is to move others to action.
The heart mode helps us to understand what we value – but how does this help us to move people to action?
The argument of this workshop is that the effective use of narrative is itself a leadership skill. And we’ll come back and look in much more detail about why that might be.
But first I just want to pause on that word ‘leadership’. The kind of leadership I’m talking about is described on the slide. This is not the kind of leadership that says “look at me” or “do what I say”. This is not about being the single bright star in the sky. This is the kind of leadership that seeks to enable others to join together to take action.
But not action when the outcome is certain. Action in the face of uncertainty. How many campaigns have you been involved in when the outcome was certain? Particularly about things that really matter to you? Almost never.
Of course we know that all of us will exist on an emotional range from despair to hope. If I ask you to make a difficult choice to join me in action when you are feeling despair – how do you think you are likely to respond? [Answer – higher levels of anxiety, less likely to say yes.]
There are emotions that inhibit us from taking mindful action – ACTION INHIBITORS and, there are emotions that enable us to take mindful action – ACTION MOTIVATORS
Apathy – Anger: if the people you are hoping to move action are feeling apathetic you need to give them the experience of FEELING outrage to provide the emotional information they need to enable them to make the choice to join you.
Isolation – Solidarity: If the people you are hoping to move to action are feeling isolated you need to to give them the experience of FEELING their connectedness with others to enable them to make the choice to join you.
When we are developing our public narrative we are seeking to draw upon those emotions that motivate us in order to help overcome the motions that most often inhibit us from taking action.
So what is public narrative?
Skill: something we can learn to do – and learn to do better and better. Like any skill it is something that we get better at with practice.
Motivate: we can have the best strategy in the world but if people won’t join us then it is useless.
Join: this is about enabling collective action – not action that we take singly but together.
Action: public narrative is intentional – not using stories because they are funny or tragic or to add flair to a speech. This is about using the power of storytelling to enable real action in the world.
This is the basic framework of public narrative – as you can see it has three elements. During this workshop you will learn to tell and link three distinct stories.
Your story of self: a story of why you are called to leadership right here and now
Your story of us: a story about your community and why they are called to take action with you
Your story of now: a story about the action that needs to be taken now and the consequences of taking or not taking it
Understanding the link between values, emotion and action is central to public narrative.
The argument that I am making is that values inspire action through emotion. Let me say that again – values inspire action through emotion.
Let’s think about that for a moment. Call to mind an injustice that you see in the world. What is it? How does it make you feel? Why do you feel that way? Because of the values that you hold. Our emotions provide a kind of information about what it is that we value.
It turns out that people who are unable to feel emotion are also unable to make choices. This is especially important in public narrative because ultimately you will be asking people to MAKE A CHOICE to join you in action. Unless you can provide them with the emotional information they need they are unlikely to do so.
The argument of this workshop is that the effective use of narrative is itself a leadership skill. And we’ll come back and look in much more detail about why that might be.
But first I just want to pause on that word ‘leadership’. The kind of leadership I’m talking about is described on the slide. This is not the kind of leadership that says “look at me” or “do what I say”. This is not about being the single bright star in the sky.
