Entrepreneurs of Meaning

A terrific TEDx talk by Sonja Blignaut, in which she calls upon us all to become entrepreneurs of meaning.

I have written frequently … on the need for rebalancing society, but I feel that recent events have made the message more compelling. I will keep conveying it until that message gets through, or I can no longer write. So if you agree with it, please circulate this so that I can move on!

I agree. Sharing so that Henry can move on!

This is going to be a great event. I’m really looking forward to attending Bob Dick’s workshop, and The Story Conference in November. I hope to see you there!

Dave Snowden:

Motivation and personal change is only a small part of creating a sustainable solution. Changing the interactions between people is both more effective in achieving change and more ethical; telling people what sort of people you think they should be is a paternalistic form of neo-colonialism. Without system changes, and continuous feedback loops nowt will change.

Spot on.

Much has been written about the future. Yet, for the most part, books about the world to come sound a harsh metallic note. These pages, by contrast, concern themselves with the ‘soft’ or human side of tomorrow. Moreover, they concern themselves with the steps by which we are likely to reach tomorrow.

Toffler had a huge influence on the work I do and continues to inspire my passion for building a better future.
