A critical capacity that ensures generative engagement is a deep understanding of power from an HSD perspective. In HSD, we talk about “power with” rather than “power over” to describe generative relationships. Do those who wield influence in the system listen to and consider perspectives of those who have less influence? Do those who traditionally have less influence in the system believe their voices can and will be heard? What happens when the formal—or informal—distribution of power does not honor or establish patterns that sustain the system?

Press play to find out why these questions are being asked and listen to a real life altering experience that outlines why they are part of the difference that makes a difference.
