The Mission — To Nurture the Sparks
Within each individual is a spark of personhood – the essence of who we are at our core.
The mission of The Self Development Place is to gently find and shelter that spark, sometimes deeply buried, and to grow it so that it illuminates your person and is radiated through each of the words, actions and decisions, big and small, that make up your daily life. Similarly, you'll find support here to help you nurture each of your children’s unique sparks.
The Vision — No Lost Voices
The Self Development Place vision is to provide a space – both physical and virtual – where women can be outspoken.
Because once a woman knows her own heart and feels confident of her right to express herself, it becomes automatic to take a leadership role – with family, friends, at work and in the community. In the process, she comes to life; she empowers not only herself but also her children and even her friends to speak their truth – and the world stands to become a better place.
The No Lost Voices Challenge and Seminar
An unexpressed self is a buried spark that either smolders with rage or threatens to go out in despair. Once liberated, it can light the world.
That’s the heart of the No Lost Voices message.
The challenge: to deliver the message of No Lost Voices to 100 groups in 50 weeks, come rain, snow, sleet or stagefright.
