TEDxPort-au-Prince was a great success. What power there is in connecting people and sharing ideas.
I’m (John Engle) honored that I had the opportunity to present about our work. While there are a lot of things I could talk about thanks to having the opportunity to be a part of such a dynamic team for so many years, I focused on Circles of Change, which includes our more than 15 years experience with Open Space Technology and “Wonn Reflection” (influenced significantly by Touchstones Discussion method).
Video of talks are not yet on website. I presented in Haitian-Creole sharing history of our work, assumptions, successes and details about our past USAID funded project “Civic Empowerment” and our new one called “Circles of Change.”

Dear John and Fremy and my other dear Haitian facilitator colleagues – and your families: I am so proud of you (always) and I am happy that you have these amazing opportunities to share your inspirational stories of co-leadership. Bravo!
Dear John, So nice to see you there! I left Haiti consumed with a feeling of optimism. Perhaps its all in the company you keep, but I got to see the success of our small businesses, the happy customers, the heads of government and connect with the incredible minds creating real solutions in Haiti. It is very, very exciting and I look forward to what is to come.
Blessings,
Michelle
