The roots of the Generative Change community began to form in 70’s in Santa Cruz, where Robert Dilts and Steve Gilligan were students together, under the mentorship of Gregory Bateson, Milton Erickson, and the NLP founders. They went on to develop their own work, and after 20 years their paths again joined, giving birth to generative change work.

We have grown a collaborative professional community, where the diversity of thoughts, opinions, visions matters and even desired to envision and create a delightful world around us!

Generative Change values human presence and connection as the context for all positive creativity. So while we see the work as forms and instruments for change, we realize that the heart and soul of human connection is far more important.

So our deepest intention is to create communities based on laughter, healing, intelligent creativity, and fun.
