WOW.

Your whole essay is simply brilliant, Will.

So substantial, so true, and so valuable.

I read it when you wrote it

but it is even more powerful on second read.

I do believe you are a teacher.

A builder of democracy.

I could see you teaching young people

who are keen to work in local government.

You could teach a whole course

on Listening to the People,

modelling your own template by listening to THEM

and co-creating new ways of listening to our young citizens.

All your essays that you have created here on Substack

have provided and will continue to provide you

with rich and amazing material to teach from.

Your job was a great learning stage.

You developed and TESTED your ideas,

and you demonstrated that they WORK.

Your achievements in local government

were RECOGNIZED.

You are now in the catalyzing stage.

This is where you share and transfer

your insights and your vitality!

You will find your optimal channel.

You are younger than you think.
