AllMen Leadership Team Meets For First Time

The AllMen leadership team met for the first time yesterday (Monday 28th January) - in line with the first of our top ten goals for 2013 which is to create a leadership team that meets eight times this year.

It's a leadership team with a difference - founded by four men and one woman - with no agenda, no minutes, just a commitment to create and hold a space where the vision and mission of the AllMen Project can come to life.

Our aim is to be at the heart of a community of empowering individuals making a collective difference for men and boys. And we've purposefully created the 'leadership team' as a space for thinking and being - and not a space for doing. 

So our starting point was simply to come together and explore what that community might look like and why it is important to us.

One of the disadvantages of a free-flowing approach to community building is that it can be difficult to capture and share the magical experience of being in the moment of creating something new with a team of empowering individuals. 

My commitment is to share this unfolding journey so that it can make a difference to people all over the world who are committed - like we are - to making a difference for men and boys.

For now, the best I can communicate is that the journey has begun- we have taken our first baby step - and we will be sharing much, much more of The AllMen Project adventure as it unfolds and takes shape in 2013. 

Please keep watching this space and when the time is appropriate get involved with this new conversation for men and boys that is The AllMen Project.

  1. Perfectly captured!

    Given the terrifying lack of results, for Men and Boys, after decades of effort by awsome organisations, who have done everything exactly as they 'should' have,

    Thanks for making this possible, Powerful Poole!

  3. Well said Glen - and Michael. I like 'powerful poole'. Reminds me of Australia's endangered Powerful Owl, as symbol for greenies of strength and vulnerability.
