Messaging
![Page 13: The Problem is the Solution – Regenerative Re-Entry for ReSkilling our Communities Presented by Pandora Thomas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58a99b8d1a28abc2518b5a3b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Guiding questions
• What messaging language are we using?• How are we framing the issue (is it a
“problem” masquerading as an opportunity)?• Is it about recruitment or relevance?

Guiding question
• How are we functioning alongside natural cycles?
• What seeds have already been planted?– How do we tend existing relationships?– What relationships need to be fostered?
• In our teaching and engagement start with asking the question:
“What do people know?”

Guiding questions
• How can our programming engage leadership from the communities we’re serving?
• How do we integrate mentoring and leadership into our programs, projects organizing?
• How do we affirm that there is an abundance of opportunities that we need leadership for?
