The Paddling the Rapids team of Deb Burwell and Carol Carriuolo offer forums (http://www.paddlingtherapids.com/paddling_the_rapids/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=12 Itemid=27) and consultations that address all of these challenges, while building leadership and organizational capacity. Our clients and group participants report increasing organizational knowledge, acquiring new skill sets, broadening peer networks, deepening self-knowledge, and renewing their commitment to a mission focus. 1. attributed to Peter Vaill, Managing As A Performing Art News - Latest Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:00:00 +0100
