Embracing Turbulence to Design a New Economy

By Cylvia Hayes

There is no question we are living in turbulent times. From Brexit to the election of Donald Trump change is afoot and a whole lot of it is unsettling. Although this brings additional uncertainty for socially conscious entrepreneurs it also provides new opportunities to exercise important leadership.

As old systems rumble and shift, there will be increased opportunities for innovation and new life to push up through the cracks. Identifying and developing those opportunities is the purpose of the New Economy for Social Innovation (NESI) Forum taking place in late April in Spain.

NESI is bringing together nearly a thousand business, government and thought leaders from all over the

world to think through and work to lay the

foundations of a new economy, one specifically designed to serve the common good.

Hope, Health and Empowerment for Change Makers!

By Cylvia Hayes

As a lifelong social activist and entrepreneur I know that our line of work isn't for wimps. The more educated we get about what's going on around us the more we open ourselves up to pain. Because we care so deeply we work, a LOT, and live under a constant sense of urgency.

There has never been a more important time for change-makers to rise above stress and discouragement and build hope and resiliency so that we can bring our best to our world-changing work.

That's why I am unveiling a series of workshops that use story, meditation and empowerment strategies that help Change-Makers transcend fear, heartache and burn-out and build hope, health and effectiveness.

The first will be an Hour of Power: Hope, Health and Empowerment for Change Makers session at the NESI Forum in Spain next month (see article above). I will be hosting another, more comprehensive workshop later this year in Bend, Oregon.

I am super excited to be working with fellow change-makers on these deeper issues.

If you are interested in attending these Change-Maker Empowerment workshops in the future, please send an email to info@3estrategies.org.

Collaboration is the New Black

Most of us have cut our teeth and careers on the notion of business competition, survival of the fittest and dog eating dog. Turns out that's very narrow view.

Premium Cola is just one of myriad examples of successful businesses that are taking a more collaborative, ecosystem approach.

Bright Treasures in Our Dark Nights of the Soul

This speech is a little off-topic for the overall 3EStrategies audience but I thought I'd go ahead and share it because these days we can all use a little help finding treasure in dark times!
