"Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining." --Anne Lamott
One Quantum Transformation for Mankind
Preeta Bansal offers a new "quantum" vision of scale, impact, and social change. In this engaging talk in the American heartland, she shares what might be called a homecoming speech of the truest kind - a return to the heart. Weaving her family's personal moonshot of arriving into middle America concurrently with America's (and humanity's) own literal moonshot through the Apollo 11 mission, she sets the stage for the gravity of heavy realizations from her own rocket-like career trajectory into the highest echelons of conventional power, and back to "a place that operates at a human and community scale bound to land and nature."
BE THE CHANGE
Reimagine the locus of scale and impact of your actions today. Focus on bringing about or triggering positive change in your environment through a smile, a loving presence, deep listening, or positive energy, rather than through any strategic plan of action.
