In this 21st episode of the Futuring Lab, I wanted to develop a bit more on the event I have recently been to: ChangeNOW in Paris.
An event aimed at pulling together the people working on creating a better future for all.
It’s the second year I have been to this event and I left again with such an expended perception of the world, a renewed energy and sense of community, that I wanted to share it with you!
In this episode I share and explore with examples, the three major shifts that I have noticed in this conference:
The shift in narrative: The emerging future is more fun, more sexy, more resilient than the current (extractive) world we live in.
The shift in Power narrative: from Power over to Power With.
The shift in more traditional sectors (like finance): Their evolution is real and well, well considered on leading the way.
Too often these amazing people, solutions and shifts are too hard to find, and to acknowledge, so instead, I am bringing some of their wisdom to your ears.
I hope you enjoy this episode and leave as energised and with a renewed will to act, as I have! And please let me know your questions, thoughts or perceptions on either the event or my take on it. I’d love to connect! alixwheeler.coaching@gmail.com
