Summary
Are you having the impact you originally envisioned? Are you keeping your promise? To others? To your Self? How do you know? How do they? Successfully unraveling the complexity, chaos, confusion, & conflict embedded in today’s most pressing issues/opportunities is in a class all its own. Yet it can be done. It simply MUST. And YOU can do it. As a Change Agent, Impact Professional, or Impact Investor, you, apart from all others in Business & Society are the true catalyst. You are the one designed to trigger the rest – free from the kinds of constraints other sectors must endure. You have greater degrees of freedom to explore, innovate, experiment, and influence – to shape our future. ❌ If you’re like hundreds of leaders I’ve worked with, you’re working harder & harder, smarter & smarter. And yet things are getting worse & worse. ❌ By almost every standard, we are not making progress at the rate needed – yes, making progress in absolute terms – but not in relative terms – relative to the increasing demand. ❌ This inability to make meaningful progress at this moment in time is excused as “normal” – but it’s the natural endpoint of a centuries-long cycle of non-systemic, narrowly-focused economic, social, & environmental “innovation” now in disruption. There is a proven process for transitioning to the next level. It’s called “Emergent Impact™” (https://emergentimpact.com/) When you bring the 4 Levels of “Emergent Impact™” to bear on your change efforts, you will: ✅ Bring the next level of Thought Leadership to the table, helping others to align with Reality. ✅ Get your “head (& theirs) around” the chaos & complexity plaguing other actors. ✅ Act with confidence on the highest leverage change initiatives. I’m deeply experienced in working in this way to solve "impossible" problems for Business, Society, & the Earth. (I actually wrote the book on it - on Amazon at: https://tinyurl.com/yrdy792p) You can catalyze your leadership capacity – now.
