Gallos

Gallos is a 6-month learning journey that will help you to find a new and confident path into creating the change you want to see in public services. The journey is for groups of 12-16 people within a team, organisation, place, or individuals working towards the same outcome. This is for anyone whose aim is to support and improve people's lives. The journey is created and facilitated by Dulcie McBride and Jen Parkin. We, like you, feel frustrated with the lack of meaningful change we’re able to create for, and with, the people we serve. We are all well intentioned, skilled, creative and passionate people trying to improve lives in the best way we can. We easily agree with how services should be and the issues that are causing the problems. And yet, we can’t seem to find a way through into the future we all dream of. We believe that we should take some time to pause and reflect on why we feel so stuck. What are the underlying stories that hold our current reality together and what is our relationship with the system we want to change? We also believe that we are fully part of the system, the norms and patterns show up in each of us, every single day. If some of us can start to carve new paths forward, then what kind of impact can we have? How can we start to seed and nurture some different stories and in turn see a different system unfold. Lastly, we believe that if we do this together, in support of each other, we can discover a new collective power to act.
