Something
I believe is that it will take all of us to bring about the world we know is possible. In my own work and in my work with others, I discourage wherever appropriate the idea of win/lose competition on the world stage. The brilliant William McDonough turned my attention to the word competition and its roots:
From the Latin – com, meaning “together” and –petare, meaning “to strive”.
This is the competition to which I aspire. Here you will find listed resources to other professionals working in my field, each one of whom I would wholeheartedly endorse for their integrity and work. This list includes business consultants, training organizations, personal coaches, psychotherapists, and others. Many of them have contributed directly to my own evolution and maturation.

Susanne Cook-Greuter — adult development/organizational development/creative arts/wisdom holder.
Susanne holds a place of distinction in wide communities of research, practice, and application. She is a leading figure in the field of ethical, deep, and significant intelligence around the stages of development that we move through in our adult lives. What is, perhaps, most significant about Susanne is the way she holds this attention and leadership in humility; the way that she asks those of us practicing and benefiting from these insights to hold them lightly. The content that she has brought forward is powerful indeed, even more powerful is the way she teaches us to hold this power gently and to always look behind its curtain for the ever simpler truths of being human.

A. T. Ariyaratne — community development/international relations/wisdom keeper. 
Dr. Ariyaratne “Ari” to his friends is a profound international and historic figure. In 1958 he founded the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement of Sri Lanka, a grassroots community organization initiative that remains today as one of the world’s most significant prototypes in democracy. In recognition of this work he has received many awards, perhaps most notable of which is the 1996 Gandhi Peace Prize. Recipients of this prize include Nelson Mandela, Vaclav Havel, and Bishop Desmond Tutu among others. Though he has since turned over the leadership of that movement, he has remained active in civic duty, including organizing over 1 million people to march together and meditate for peace in Sri Lanka. He now serves as a member of Sri Lanka’s Constitutional Council.

Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement of Sri Lanka — community development/new organizational models/collective evolution. 
Founded and evolving since 1958, this elegantly flat (versus hierarchical) model of community evolution and thriving is a leading prototype in the democratic experiment. After lifting literally hundreds of thousands out poverty over nearly 6 decades, this initiative is now engaging with evolving the major national structures of finance and government. Exposure to and inquiry into this particular example of social evolution is incredibly valuable, perhaps even to be considered a prerequisite, for anyone working with an interest in large-scale systems change.

Alain Gauthier — leadership development/organizational development/collective learning. 
Alain has been an inspiration to me for almost 10 years. He has spent the last five decades cultivating a deeper deeper wisdom around the way we organize and collaborate to do work in the world. His latest distillation of that focus, he refers to as Evolutionary Co-Leadership. This construct of attention is a powerful leverage for facilitating creative collaboration among peers. Alain has been a thought leader since before the term was en vogue; he has lived his life as a global citizen and has worked fluently with partners and organizations all around the world. He combines the eagle eyed intelligence of executive leadership, with the radiant heart of the compassionate teacher, and the well seasoned hands of the sincere contributor. Alain is a leader for all of us.

Frederic Laloux — research/organizational development/collective learning. 
A former associate at of the world’s top business consulting firms, Frederic found himself disenchanted with business as usual in the dawning of the 21st century. He drew from this an inspired passion to inquire into the nature of what new forms of collaboration might be emerging in the world today. In particular, how might these forms be more life-affirming, more biophilic and more well adapted to thrive in our evolving contexts. From this passion, a work emerged which is now recognized globally as Reinventing Organizations. Frederic is a leader in inviting us all to look with innocent eyes, to see the prototypes living around us, and to explore new forms of creative collaboration.

That voice is Enlivening Edge, a magazine of next-stage organizations.
