Accelerating  the  collective potential  of  individual change.
The  organizational  and  individual   capacity   to create positive change is  well  advanced   and   growing .  And yet  we’re  not  changing  fast enough ! By Social Entrepreneurs.  For Social Entrepreneurs.
And  their   potential  for change is  continually being   opened   by   experiences   and   events . Even  a  single  movie  can  open  an  entire culture  to  a  little   more   change . And yet  we’re  not  changing  fast enough ! Are you  thinking  differently? Are you more open to  acting  differently? How many others are  open  to acting differently? How many  initiatives will benefit  from that openness?
and in  every   action  there  is   choice   whether  conscious  or  not .  At  the  root  of everything influenced by humanity  is   individual action… So  what  is   constraining   the  collective potential  for  positive change ?
The  collective potential   for positive change  is  constrained by the resistance of  individuals   and the   organizations and systems   we’ve created   to change. When it comes to change,  most  people   prefer  the  comfort   of what is . What if   you  could change … What if  everyone   changed …  a  little more?
How  can we  accelerate change  on a  societal scale? What  increases an  individual’s capacity  for change  whether they  consciously  want to  or  not ?   Accelerating  the   individual  and  social  capacity   for positive change   is the  foundation   of our  collective potential   for positive change .
Today…   we seek to create   a new initiative : Funded by investors  committed  to  addressing  the  foundations  of change . Co-created  by the interdependent communities of: thought leaders, change agents, and world citizens. Operating sustainably  to  accelerate   the  collective potential  of  individual change .
What can  you   imagine ? Global action network? Online community? Media campaign? Publication?
By the end of this decade,  we envision : A critical mass of  world citizens … engaged in a self-organizing  system of change … and promote conscious living in  vibrant communities . in order to encourage  mindful  life  decision-making …
Our  principles  of  co -creation : The  community   holds  the  knowledge  and  experience . We  facilitate   their wisdom We  orchestrate   their solution Our  perspective  must be  comprehensive Our  results  must be  meaningful, measurable,  and  durable Our  reach  must be  broad
