TimeBank Mahoning Watershed Conversations

Hi There, Welcome to video conversations in a virtual garden habitat.

It’s another Open Space gathering scheduled for Wednesday, May 13 @ 10:30 AM EDT
Do stop by and join the conversation at Watershed & Garden Conversation.

TimeBank Mahoning Watershed is hosting scheduled interactive video discussions where you co-create an agenda of topics in real-time on themes and questions that matter to you. 🙂

  • Why: We believe that the role of leaders today is changing from heroes to hosts.
  • How: We are hosting conversations for leaders to listen, learn, and lead.
  • What: Our purpose is to host safe harbors of thoughtful conversations where people develop both the clarity and commitment to lead.

TBMW & QiqoChat co-created Mahoning Watershed Garden Conversations a website that provides free online video conferencing for those of us interested in talking about ideas. The site, based on learning visits to Natural Habitats or Gardens, is a new take on the breakout room model and is available 24/7. The Watershed with its Gardens is inviting, relaxing and stress-free. You can use this site for communicating with the public or each other about ideas that matter.

1. Download Zoom for audio/video and then close it.
2. Go to our event page and enter a guest username.
3. Click “Join Video”.

We hope you’ll join us Wednesdays, @ 10:30 AM EDT, at a Watershed & Garden Conversation.

A Call to Celebrate
Our Mahoning Valley’s
 Culture of Co-Production

Time Banking members co-create thriving communities in the Mahoning Valley hosting conversations leading to a change of culture along the following indicators:

Passive engagement _____________ to active engagement
Staff and administration led _______ to citizen led
Beneficiary of service ___________ to co-producer of service
Client or volunteer focus ________ to membership based
Individualism _______________ to mutuality

The conversation within any group, organization, and community determines it’s culture. By simply changing that conversation, we learn that there is more to do. For example, will your group or organization produce a cultural audit? The first organizational self-assessment would establish a baseline and following quarterly assessments would track the audit’s indicators over time.

If you wish to chat about the above aims and principles, call Tony Budak for more details, 330-716-2722 or email TonyBudak@TBMW.org
