February 3, 2010 · 3 Comments 

I do leadership consulting for a living. I am fortunate to work with enlightened large companies helping to revolutionize their leadership training to a 21st century model where value is created by creating a sustainable future. What I’ve witnessed in the past 3 years is nothing short of astonishing. While big companies are far from perfect they are making rapid and amazing progress at inventing new products and services that are healthier,... [Read the full story]

Planet Good Radio Interview with Will Marre

September 25, 2009 · 1 Comment 

In all of my experience I have found that most people have a motive inside of them driving them to do good. Why they don’t pursue it is because they’re afraid. Fear can be a dangerous thing. Fear drives airplanes into buildings. Fear drives us to work 80 hours a week. Fear keeps us in our status quo. Whether it’s fear of being broke, being fired, or not being successful, fear keeps us from doing what we really want to do, what... [Read the full story]

Stupidy or Sustainability - Collapse of Systems

January 11, 2010 · 5 Comments 

Lately I’ve been teaching leaders about sustainability (see The Top 10 Things Every Leader Should Know About Sustainability).  A good working definition of the term is “to act so that what you do today does not diminish others’ chances for achieving equal goals in their future.”  Another way to say it is, “Don’t be a greedy jerk.”  You see it’s really thoughtless greed that threatens our future.  The oldest motive of... [Read the full story]

Independence Day and Our American Dream

July 4, 2009 · 3 Comments 

I’ve been giving speeches and writing about the American Dream for the past 5 years my quest has been to discover what our dream is for the 21st century. Today I have a powerful conviction that deep down we know we have the solutions to our own confusion. Answers seem to be on the tips of our tongues, like a memory that has just slipped our mind. The answers we seek are already embedded in our spiritual wiring; we are merely fumbling... [Read the full story]

Tiger–No longer a virtuous role model?

December 3, 2009 · 13 Comments 

Tiger Woods has really been in the news lately.  And the stories are not about his golf game.  Instead the stories are about Tiger acting, well, like a tiger.  I respect his privacy.
