In the documentary A New Economy, an important question is asked, "what if working together for the good of all was the most common business model?" At this year's AGM, we will screen parts of this documentary, which will be followed by a focused conversation around this topic. We invite you to join us for what we trust will be an enriching discussion. We look forward to seeing you on June 20th.

Register today: The courage to lead online study series Description As a leader, do you have the courage to turn the lens inward and examine what you bring to your daily interactions? If leadership is about relationships, who are you in those interactions? Are you willing to look inside and see how you show up in the world? How do you keep learning from your experience and trust your own inner wisdom? What role do you want to play in the change process in society, work, community and family? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, we would like to invite you to join our 13-week online study series (every Tuesday, starting March 26 – June 18, 2019), where you will get to explore your relationship to life, self and the world. The aim of this study is to provide the tools for deep reflection on how you can become the best leader you can be.
