LOCAL EBBF CHAPTER INITIATIVES BY EBBF MEMBERS

??ebbf Milan: members decided to gather to explore a big question:

How can we elevate our lives and our work to the serve humanity?

Moved by the inspiring leaders and conversations at the recent ebbf Impact Retreat in Acuto (see photo), a group of Italian #ebbfmembers reunited to form a new ebbf learning circle.

You can read here more insights from the session with two highlights:

1. The importance of understanding what humanity actually wants and needs most
2. The driver of hope. Hope that seems specially lacking in younger generations. Hope that the group actively tried to understand, define and then activate. Discussing the best ways for each participant to become creator of and bringer of authentic and strongly rooted hope.

Denise Cumella hosted the session attended by Ramesh Mollaian , Silvia Bernardini , Daniele Ghetti amongst others. Additionally, the group connected with two other continents: joined by other Italian members Piero Morano from Washington DC + Antonio Zarcone from Taipei.

OUR FAVOURITE QUOTE

Perhaps less work-related than most of the quotes we highlight at ebbf is this phrase from #ebbfmember Adam Robarts:

[…] Death is not separate from life. It is a significant milestone in a continuity that has no end.

His moving narrative shown in this recent interview with ebbf highlighted how embracing death as part of life can lead to a deeper understanding of purpose, resilience, and acceptance.

?? You can also find additional very inspiring (and useful) ideas in this other dialogue we enjoyed with Adam, focusing on the role of hope and joy to create meaningful careers here.
