Do we have the courage to dream such an audacious, bodacious vision? Is it possible for us to make this beautiful compelling dream come true? David Cooperrider and we at the Fowler Center for Sustainable Value believe that when businesses innovate for greater well-being and prosperity, in partnership with civil society organizations and governmental bodies, every social and global issue of our day becomes an opportunity to ignite industry lead

The Center for Digital Inclusion (CDI) based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a phenomenal organization doing great work; they are what I call DreamMakers. I invite you to read about CDI in the article I wrote today in the Huffington Post's newest section called IMACT X. This section highlights stories about " the change-making powers" that happen when humanity and technology come together to make a difference in our world. It is "a platform for innovators, thinkers, activist and anyone who wants to use technology to improve the world". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michele-hunt/the-center-for-digital-in_b_1922015.html Here is the article: My passion, my personal mission in life is to spotlight and share stories of people, organizations and communities that are making their hopes and dreams come true against tremendous obstacles - while doing good in our world.

In the mist of all  the chaos, conflict, negativism and cynicism surrounding us, there is a rising movement to transform our world into one that values and respects all people,  life and all that gifts that nature gives us. A week and a half ago I spent 5 days with 2,000 young people averaging 20 years old from Brazil and Europe at the Junior Enterprisers Worldwide Conference, in Paraty, Brazil. I was asked to give a keynote address. I accepted the engagement because the theme of their conference was compelling – “ONE WORLD, ONE NETWORK” , and their byline was “Evolve, Undertake, Transform” . How could someone who believes we can change the world say no to so many young entr
