Profile Information:

Name
Ricardo Walters
Organisation
The Salvation Army
About Me:
I'm married to Lisa, and we have a 7-year old son, Zachary.

Life is a highway, a rollercoaster, a mystery...I believe the Truth is closer than we think, and that Grace keeps us on the path to finding it.
My dream:
Nothing short of out-of-the-box, revolutionary thinking is going to turn the tide. My dream is that people would act with abandon and altruism tto effect change in the world, to show leadership that is visionary, risky, people-focussed. I dream that we might be those people.
I'm proud of:
My family - their care for each other, their tenacity, their perseverance in struggle. I'm proud of the friends in so many countries who, despite their age, have offered themselves in service to a cause close to home, and have gained respect for their integrity and experience, and accepted the burden and privelege of leadership.

    Hi Ricardo,

    I started a discussion about "Introductions to connect on human level", gathering experiences of facilitators about the facilitation of this session at the beginning of a learning event.
    I'm sure you have loads of experience with this! Could you share it?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I like the cry on Through the looking glass: another side to the story.
    Its too my concern for the continent we live in, i still hope there is another side of it, we could change it together.
    The perception, it sucks and makes me sick,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Beautiful pictures from the Hivos meeting! It feels like I was there with you, just by watching the pictures :-) What camera do you have? It seems like a really good one... together with your talent and the result is amazing!

    Hi Ricardo, my compliments for the excellent 'SHARE' work during the workshop, both in terms of video and photo. I was telling Laurence that I found it hard in Guyana to capture properly video's and pictures while facilitating the event (with 1 other coach). You proof that it's possible!

    Regards,
    Gaston

    Dear Laurence

    thank you for your note. It was very interesting having Onesmus here - we learnt a great deal from him about how to go behind the scenes and encourage people to tell their stories. It was a great experience. Kind regards. Helen
