Thanks to Neighbourhood International for sharing some of John O’Brien’s wisdom in this short film.
What we take from this is a plea to get back to the roots of person centred planning – to truly discover the uniquness of a person by gathering the right poeple around them, listening deeply and then exploring what more is possible.
‘People are not problems to be solved,
they are a mystery to inspire wonder.’
(John O’Brien)
