About CSD Network

 'CSD' stands for 'Community; Spirit; Development'.

We bring together a skilled network of people interested in exploring:

- community spirited, supported people in relationship with each other
- spirit the 'breath of life' in individuals, organisations and communities
- development unleashing potential within individuals, organisations and communities.
20 years working in personal, community and organisational development have convinced us that these three principles are the foundation stones of effectiveness and 'productivity' in its broadest sense.
By applying these principles, the high levels of distress, apathy, 'burn-out' and alienation can be directly addressed.
  • We want to unleash the potential of people, rather than merely finding ways to manage them.
  • We want to grow the self, rather than merely teaching people 'tricks and techniques' for managing their lives, or others around them.
  • We want to give voice to people's spirit - their essence - rather than teaching them how to mimic the techniques of others.
  • We want to build relationships of trust and resilience between people, so that their differing perspectives can become points of dialogue, rather than points of division.

This approach achieves real outcomes in personal effectiveness, leadership, capacity building, team building, , positive community relations (including working effectively with Aboriginal communities), and other key aspects of organisational or community development.
