Offer
Change is complex and ubiquitous. Change may involve individuals, organizations, political structures (from neighborhoods to nation-states), and more. It may be intentional (personal growth) or involuntary (hurricanes in Florida). Intentional change requires at least two fundamental qualities: awareness or belief that change is needed, and secondly a conscious plan with action steps to attempt to accomplish it. My strengths: organizing anything from day planning to life goals.
