TREE OF CHANGE
by Crystal Mason & Jason Wyman
When we pause we create space to dream.
When we dream we inform our way of being.
When we can be,
we are free to change.
​​​​What is Tree of Change?
​​Tree of Change is a dynamic, adaptive framework by Crystal Mason & Jason Wyman for organizational and cultural transformation.
We use the metaphor of a tree to represent growth, interconnectedness, and sustainable change.
PROFILE: People Power Media
Tree of Change supported People Power Media through
a deep organizational reassessment resulting in a:
-
more representative mission statement,
-
a new structure,
-
a website redesign, and
-
an emergent peer-based political praxis.
​
Today, People Power Media is thriving as a backbone organization for the San Francisco Race & Equity in All Planning Coalition, whose mission is to build a future with diverse communities, stable, affordable housing and equitable access to resources and opportunities.
Crystal Mason & Jason Wyman turn imagination into clarity & action through their Tree of Change Praxis. They got to the heart of our mission, work, & values in a truly enlightened way. We were immediately able to present ourselves in this new light to the public, colleagues, and funders.
