Many public and private institutions find it very difficult to respond to changes (and the increasingly rapid pace of change) that are taking place all over the world. These organizations are stuck in their institutional thinking with respect to their solutions concerning global and local issues and problems like inequities, discrimination, famine, poverty, pollution and the like. Theory U utilizes a method know as "presencing" to connect people to the deepest source within themselves in the present moment to allow inner knowledge and wisdom to emerge to address many of the deeply rooted challenges we face in the world today. Theory U provides the framework and method to accomplish this awareness-based change. It has been found to be a highly effective method to facilitate change in many types of institutional, personal and situational settings.

The Connection Partners are dedicated capacity guides who practice individual and group learning as continuous, essential components of change.

Time Banking
The Tampa Bay Timebank is a community network where neighbors exchange skills, services, and support without using money. Instead of dollars, we use time as our currency! For every hour you spend helping someone (whether it's gardening, tutoring, repairs, or a ride to the store), you earn one Time Credit. You can then use that Time Credit to receive help from anyone else in the network.
It’s a simple, powerful way to:
-
Build connections
-
Share skills
-
Support your community
-
Value every person’s time equally
-
OUR MISSION: To support the growth of a time-based community that teaches its members to exchange goods and services without the exclusive use of cash.
OUR VISION: We envision a city where the time and resources of ALL PEOPLE are equitably valued as a community asset.
OUR FIVE CORE VALUES:
-
ASSETS - Everyone has something to give. We are an asset-based society. Everyone's time is valued equally. We are the expression of abundance, and we share what we LOVE to do with others.
-
REDEFINING WORK - The market economy says the more demand there is on a product or service, the higher the cost or value of that item. Conversely, things which are plentiful, have little or no value. We value all work here, especially work that money doesn't usually pay for like building strong families, revitalizing neighborhoods, making democracy work, neighborly favors and advancing social justice. Time is our currency. Time spent doing tasks are what is recorded, or credited.
-
RECIPROCITY - Each exchange is a 2-way street with both a giver and a receiver. You can't give without someone receiving, and we value both giving and receiving equally. We practice reciprocity in our community by looking at our accounts and making sure we give AND receive on a regular basis. A one-way extension of resources is not always sustainable.
-
COMMUNITY - A supportive, loving community (or network) is built through the equitable sharing of goods and services. (We refer to this as Social Capital)
-
RESPECT - Just like Assets, EVERYONE deserves respect, and everyone is respected for where they are in the moment, not where we hope they will be at some future point in time.
