Program Impact

Words from Program Participants

From various organizations dedicated to social development in Guatemala, these leaders testify that our practices have significantly impacted their ability to lead transformation in their communities.
The Diploma was a learning and building experience for both my personal life and my organization.

What I learned, I put into practice, and it has helped me grow in my work and with the people I share it with. Others in my organization see a change in the work I do. After several years of not studying, this space made me feel safe, it was very inclusive. I developed new ideas and goals to reach; now I know new ways to achieve them. Después de varios años de no seguir estudiando, este espacio me hizo sentir segura, fue muy inclusivo. Desarrollé nuevas ideas y metas por alcanzar, ahora sé nuevas formas para lograrlas

During the Diploma, I discovered areas for growth in my leadership that I could cultivate.

An example was delegation and feedback. I have learned to use words from a 'we' perspective. We started co-creating agreements with the team, reviewing objectives, and co-creating program goals. My team feels confident in approaching me and forming a trust circle where they can share their opinions.

The Circula Community is for me a space where, from my contradictions, I chose to look into the eyes of brilliant, happy, and colorful people and let myself be embraced by their good intentions and desires to live in better spaces.

I see myself within it as a valuable person simply because I exist and who, on top of everything, has skills to offer to a network of work, communication, and creation.
