Transformation

 

Today's blog...is the presentation I recently gave at the California Native Plant Society's  Bringing Back the Natives 20th Anniversary Conference.

While the talk was about how I was able to obtain the approval to create native plant habitats in Palo Alto...there's more to it.

It's about what permission does and what yes means.  What it means not to be a naysayer but a person of action.  Talk is cheap these days...and inertia is huge. 

Transformation is the way of things.

It's often said that the most challenging "yes" we have to give is the one we give ourselves.

Remember, just as someone said "yes" to you and opened doors for you, be that person for others.

And just as the "yes" within us propels us forward, our willingness to say "yes" to others creates a ripple effect.

With this positivity, we cultivate a community of changemakers.

And without further ado, here is the presentation, slide by slide.
