Together, let’s change the world.

Our world as we know it is in jeopardy. The war on each other and our environment challenges our very existence. We need to work together and take on our most pressing social and environmental challenges so we can leave a healthy world in which our children and future generations can thrive.

Together, we can change the world’s trajectory.

Consciously evolving ourselves is the foundation for global solutions.

As individuals, we need to wake up and intentionally grow ourselves “vertically” – from the inside out. We need to become self-aware, open our minds and transform our beliefs. We must evolve beyond our ego’s self-interest and personal need to be right. By expanding our consciousness and living into larger, more inclusive perspectives and worldviews, we can discover solutions not yet found.

We choose to serve community and world leaders by helping them grow from the inside out.

Meeting our collective challenges requires us to co-create.

Innovation is most prevalent when we bring multiple perspectives together. This always generates greater insight. In order to solve our social and environmental challenges, we need to work together across boundaries. We need to listen more deeply to one another and speak more openly and truthfully. We need to put differences aside and seek to live in harmony with each other and our environment.

We choose to support community and world leaders by teaching them how to co-create more effectively.

Our social and environmental challenges require Conscious Change Leadership skills, strategies and methods.

As Einstein so eloquently said, “We cannot solve our problems from the same level of consciousness that created them.”

Our conventional worldview has given rise to our massive social and environmental challenges. Inter-national relations, global governance and our political and economic structures are all built on this existing paradigm. So are mainstream leadership strategies, and they are not sufficient. We need more progressive change leadership skills, methods and tools.

We choose to support community and world leaders by teaching them the mindsets, skills and methods of Conscious Change Leadership.

At Being First, our vision is to “be significant contributors to the transformation of humanity toward greater empowerment of people, social and economic justice, and environmental health and sustainability.” For 40 years, we’ve honed our craft of Conscious Change Leadership on the playing fields of organization, culture and leadership transformation.

We want to support highly leveraged social justice and environmental sustainability causes wherever they exist. We bring an unconditional commitment, four decades of experience and our full suite of services and resources.

We are available to develop Conscious Change Leaders, build multi-stakeholder partnerships and apply our Approach to co-creating solutions to our collective challenges.
