Following the Grassroute Guide made us a better team. Without a doubt we’re doing the best work we’ve done in years. We can hardly picture ourselves communicating, thinking and working together the “old way”. – Gunter P, Reykjavik, Iceland
Our group had gotten pretty bogged down with conflict. Once we started using the tools we got in the Grassroute Guide things really picked up. Our future has never looked brighter or clearer. Following the Grassroute Guide was perhaps the best decision we have made.

Testimonials for the GRASSROUTE GUIDE:
Using the tools we got in the Grassroute Guide we are a changed organization. With everyone in the boat, flying the same flag, we all started to row in one direction, which created an energy level that had to be answered. And so it is. – Tom O, Irving, Texas
We’re a better community group because of our experience with what’s offered in the Grassroute Guide. Through their process, we discovered some communication blocks existing from one end of the group to the other. We also discovered the great diversity of talent we have. – Michelle G, Salt Lake City, UT
What we learned from Paul produced dramatic breakthroughs. Our team is now unified and filled with enthusiasm. The Grassroute Guide got us working in sync, which creates a passion the community can feel. When you put that passion to work it’s amazing what a group can do. – Ron L, LA, CA
In 23 years as an organizational development consultant author Paul Deslauriers has assisted over one hundred TV broadcasting stations, advertising agencies, corporations and public service grassroots groups in finding their paths to positive energy and sustained success.
Paul recognized that grassroots groups that function well and achieve impressive accomplishments all integrate six specific core values and associated behaviors into their culture.
When you get your grassroots group aligned with these six specific core values and behaviors your organization will naturally function at a high level, participants will be uplifted and rejuvenated. Love, trust, and collaboration will flourish.
The GRASSROUTE GUIDE details these six characteristics using real-world examples and a series of self-tests that teach the skills and processes needed for your grassroots group to function at a high level and tap its true power and potential.
