We need Positive Change.
In responding to the contemporary challenges of the 21st century, we recognise that the world is not sustainable in the following: environmentally (we are exceeding our planetary boundaries, see below), psychologically (there is a global mental health crisis) economically (the gap between rich and poor is growing rapidly, resulting in less equality and equity).
Having a clear sense of moving in a direction towards the future world that we want to create. Taking a conscious and intentional action to move towards a desired future
The current world is breaking down in terms of the economic, environmental and social systems. We can all sense this in our worlds, work, and business. We can own this reality and use our human capability and full potential to move ourselves and others forwards to co-create a future that is more sustainable and beneficial for individuals, businesses, society and the environment.
By taking a positive change approach, we are being bold and courageous in being with reality as it is and reaching out to work with others to use our vision, thinking and behaviours to go beyond what exists and bring to life the future that is waiting to emerge.
