Changing What It Means to Be Human: Radical Systems Changes
We need transformational leaders, servant leaders, and visionaries catalyzing systems changes.
The following organizations offer leadership training in one way or another. Some, like Acumen Global, Inspiring Purpose, Kiva, and Venture Lab, focus on guerrilla entrepreneurism and/or capitalist wealth redistribution: inspiring those with little to no start-up capital, including youth, to pursue business ventures.
MindValley, Singularity University, and other organizations provide global coaching platforms for personal and collective development.
The coaching industry has begun to resemble a pyramid scheme when you are encouraged to buy into yet another program in order to sell your own coaching program, ad nauseam. Nevertheless, coaching can and does inspire systems changes. Coaches stimulate systems changes by inspiring clients to liberate themselves from legacy systems like exploitative capitalism.
