TEDx San Francisco Conference, David Copperrider and Michele Hunt To Speak on "Business As An Agent For World Benefit"




I am excited and honored to share our world changing idea at TEDx San Francisco. I will be co-presenting with David Copperrider - see the TEDxSF website - http://tedxsf.org 

The Theme of the conference is Global Health and their audacious, bodacious vision is "7 Billion Well". We will be sharing a compelling new initiative launched by the Fowler Center for Sustainable Value at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, in partnership with David Copperrider. 

We hope this initiative will help to ignite a global movement for "Business As An Agent For World Benefit" - businesses aspiring to "Do Well And Do Good". David and I serve on the advisory board of the Fowler Center. We invite you to join this exciting, new initiative that the Fowler Center and David are launching in partnership with OpenIDEO, a global, open innovation platform. 
We want your help to answer the question: 

How might we identify and celebrate businesses that innovate for world benefit – and inspire other companies to do the same? 



Over the course of the next 12 weeks, we’ll be collaborating with a global, diverse audience to learn about businesses that act as agents of world benefit and design concepts to support our efforts toward a global prize for sustainable value businesses.



The challenge is now open, which is where you come in: 

Your input and experience are incredibly valuable – not only to help shape the conversation and collaboration we see on OpenIDEO, but to ensure our own progress toward a more flourishing society and economy.

I also invite you to take a moment to view this previsous TEDx San Francisco video (about 10 minutes). It got 1,700,906 views on YouTube. It speaks to the depth and breath of the TEDxSF conferences.

This video touched my heart, lifted my spirit and stirred my imagination - that's the kind of impact we need to all be working towards to heal ourselves and our planet. I hope this inspires you as much as it moved me.

May all your beautiful hopes and dreams come true!

What is a DreamMaker?

My passion for spotlighting DreamMakers is born out of my belief that we all are extraordinary and together we can change the world. My upbringing, education, career choices and my personal journey have convinced me that we all have the capacity to become DreamMakers. My personal mission is to share these “pockets of hope” wherever and however I can, to inspire us to transform our lives, organizations, institutions, and our communities to create a better world. My Work: I work with leadership teams of organizations to help them to mobilize their people and stakeholders around a shared vision and shared values and to tap into the minds, hearts and imagination of their people to transform their vision and values into reality. I have seen them accomplish amazing results, by any measure. My First Book:  DreamMakers: Putting Vision & Values To Work was published in 1998. It was translated into Portuguese and published by Qualitymark in Brazil in 2002. It features 13 stories of p
