Afternoon Session at #collectiveimpact #cias2021 with Kim Walker @kimwtweets and Freya Bradford about identifying, managing, and shifting power dynamics 
@kimwtweets reviews why focusing on power within initiatives is important #collectiveimpact #cias2021
An overview of @kimwtweets exciting research on power and power asymmetries within cross-sector partnerships #collectiveimpact #cias2021
@kimwtweets reviews the 3 dimensions of power: Hidden, Visible, and Invisible #collectiveimpact #cias2021
Power can "stack." @kimwtweets pushed us to consider: If the people in your initiative have a lot of stacked power & they serve in many key roles, why is the initiative in place? Do you even need it given you are replicating the already existing power structures? #cias2021
@kimwtweets provided some considerations for practice within initiatives
Freya Bradford recommended a resource: liberatingstructures.com
During discussion about leaders who are more experienced vs. others, Ashley Bozarth talked about shifting language in terms of questions posed from "share a best practice/success" to "what are you experimenting with" or "what are you trying out" #CIAS2021
I am really looking forward to checking out @kimwtweets dissertation! Thank you for all the information you and Freya Bradford shared. I am really looking forward to using it in practice.
