Je Suis Charlie

My heart and support goes out the the French people. The millions that came together in support of freedom of expression is an amazing demonstration that the people of the world are with you. May 2015 bring us together to co-create a world of love, peace and prosperity for all!

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.

Obstacles are merely a point of view.

Obstacles are a part of life. They can drain us of our energy or ignite our imagination. When we view obstacles as challenges we can see the opportunities to tap into the creative genius that lies in all of us.  We have been conditioned to avoid risk, to be safe - to control our lives. Yet we all know that we can’t predict nor prevent obstacles from falling in our path. Because of our point of view, obstacles often throw us into a state of fear – this is no way to live. Look at our institutions, organizations, laws and norms – most are built on negative assumptions. We are taught that people can’t be trusted; that we have limits on our growth and that we need to be dependent on the few in power at the top. Our media, especially TV and radio programming, flood us with stories, talk shows and “information” that fuel these negative assumptions. Most politicians capture our attention by fueling our fears. We have been taught to doubt and limit ourselves and to question the potential ...
