Our Deep and Compelling, Why!

Why I Believe Tomorrow Can Be Better!

I believe with all my heart that every individual, every neighborhood, every organization, and every community -is just one thought, one idea, one voice, one action - away from being better tomorrow than it was yesterday. And YOU can be that person!

I’ve seen it time and time again—change doesn’t require massive resources or some groundbreaking innovation. It starts with a single individual choosing to take action. You have the power to make that difference. Whether in your community, your organization, or in your own life, the potential for transformation is right there, waiting for you to seize it.

The People Closest to the Problem Are the Key

Through decades of working with people and communities, I’ve learned one undeniable truth: the people who are closest to the problem are the ones who are best prepared, most equipped, and most motivated to solve it. Too often, we look for outside experts to fix things, but the reality is that local leaders—people like you—hold the key to lasting change. My mission is to equip you with the tools you need and then get out of your way. I trust in your ability to create a brighter future. You are the solution your community is waiting for.

The Five Quintessentials

My journey, and the work we do at The Changing Point, is anchored in five core principles I call the Quintessentials. These are the values that drive everything we do:

1. Irrational Passion: 

It takes more than logic or planning to create real change. It takes passion—the kind that ignites a fire within you and makes you believe anything is possible, no matter the obstacles.

2. Radical Transformation: 

Change doesn’t come from doing things the same way they’ve always been done. It requires bold, daring moves. It means being willing to radically rethink what’s possible and to step into the unknown.

3. Visionary Innovation: 

We must look ahead, not just to the problems we face today, but to the opportunities tomorrow holds. It’s about seeing beyond the current limitations and imagining a future full of possibility.

4. Unyielding Resilience: 

The path to change is not easy. It will test you, push you, and demand everything you have. But resilience is the strength to keep going, even when the road is hard, even when the odds seem stacked against you.

5. Enduring Legacy: 

What we do today must matter tomorrow. It’s not just about making a difference now—it’s about building something that lasts. Our work must live on, leaving a legacy that inspires future generations to continue the journey.

Tomorrow Is Worth Fighting For

I know, with absolute certainty, that tomorrow can be better than yesterday. But it won’t happen on its own. It happens when people like you decide that today is the day you’re going to act. That’s why The Changing Point exists—to help individuals and communities step into that potential. We provide the knowledge, the resources, and the support you need to not only envision a better tomorrow but to create it with your own hands.

Through initiatives like  You Make The Difference and Becoming a Community Builder, we see firsthand how lives are changed when people take responsibility for their own futures. You don’t have to wait for someone else to fix things. You have the power to make a difference today.

Equip and Empower

Our approach is simple: equip you with the tools the times require, empower you with the belief that you can succeed, and then step aside and let you lead the way. Change doesn’t come from a top-down approach. It comes from within communities—from the ground up. By empowering local leaders, by giving people the skills and confidence they need, we create the conditions for true, lasting change. Your community doesn’t need someone to fix things for them—they need someone to believe in their potential. And that someone could be you.

Why Do We Do This?

Because we believe in you. I believe in the power of ordinary people to do extraordinary things. I’ve seen it time and time again—the smallest actions creating the biggest impacts. Every voice matters. Every action counts. Every one of us has the potential to make a difference, to leave this world better than we found it.
This is not just about what I can do, or what *The Changing Point* can do. It’s about what you can do.

So why wait? Why not start today? Why not be the person who decides that your community, your organization, your world will be better tomorrow because you chose to act today? You can make that difference. And when you do, know that you are not alone. We are here to help guide you, to support you, and to walk with you on this journey. Because tomorrow IS worth fighting for. And together, we can leave this place better than we found it!
