Intro: Our Life choices ??

In this election year, our choices in the liberal democratic rich world often seem starkly binary. Much like food, it's either nutritious and wholesome or ultra-processed and unhealthy. The middle ground is frequently exploited by micro-social media/celebrities, unregulated supplements and fad diets. ( RespInfluencer.4Good.space )

Despite numerous initiatives from the Gates Foundation, Skoll, Davos/WEF, Sun Valley, UN Global Compact, TED, and even Nobel Prizes, our global issues remain largely compartmentalised. There's a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration needed to truly solve these problems (& make themselves redundant!).

Major corporations like Alphabet (google) may adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, but their actions primarily benefit shareholders and can change unpredictably, for better or worse, as seen with Facebook and Instagram's impact on youth's mental health (or US election tempering ).

It's time to revisit Professor Stafford Beer's cybernetic theories (great archive fireside chat ) (love this profile by Rob Passmore, FRSA ), advocating for leaders from various disciplines to collaboratively improve governance, business, and society. If not for CIA orchestrated coup, we might have learned valuable lessons from Chile's potential alternative governance.

I'm inspired by President Lee Kwan Yew's tearful transformation of Singapore from an abandoned state of Malaysia to a quasi-democratic success, a model the West often overlooks. cc Danny Quah

When will we confront the dangerous trajectory of our society and take the hard steps to begin rebuilding towards a better future?

This newsletter aims to empower you to ask the right questions and propose actionable solutions. Let's join forces on WhatsApp, Telegram, or LinkedIn to collaborate and challenge each other to fix our world.

Welcome to Embracing ?? the #FixTheWorld Mindset (Open Mindset+ 2.0) & Let's help build ????♀? 4Good.Foundation to truly become #EarthFixer & Drive measurable Impact & fix our part of the world!

Dear EarthFixer,

We are thrilled to bring you this special edition of our newsletter, where we lay the foundation for a brighter future with our "FixTheWorld" mindset (no doubt you have heard of Closed vs Open Mindset research by great professor Carol Dweck ).

We believe that by embracing this mindset, we can all make a meaningful difference in our personal lives, communities, society, and businesses. Welcome to this newsletter that propose formation of the 4Good.Foundation , where every action counts and every initiative matters. Let's dive in!

The #FixTheWorld Mindset

SIMPLE - Systematic, Inclusive, Mindful, Proactive, Long-term, Empathetic

S: Systematic - Understand how different parts of a system interact. Recognise the connections and think holistically.

I: Inclusive - Work with diverse groups of people/experts. Embrace collaboration and value everyone's input.

M: Mindful - Be present and thoughtful about your actions. Consider how they impact the world & around you.

P: Proactive - Actively seek out problems and address them before they escalate. Don’t wait for change, BE the change & Fix problems ASAP.

L: Long-term - Focus on sustainability. Think about the long-term effects of yours & other's actions and decisions.

E: Empathetic - Understand and value the experiences and needs of others. Practice compassion in all our interactions.

Personal Action Plan: Daily, Monthly, Hourly

Daily:

• Reflect: Spend 5 minutes each day reflecting on your actions. Ask yourself, "How did I make a positive impact today?"
• Learn: Dedicate 10 minutes to learning about a global or local issue. Read an article, watch a short video, or listen to a podcast.

Monthly:

• Volunteer: Commit to at least one volunteer activity each month. Find local opportunities or join online efforts.
• Advocate: Write a letter to a local representative about an issue you care about. Your voice matters!

Hourly:

• Mindful Minutes: Take a mindful minute every hour to stay present and centered. Use this time to refocus on your goals.
• Small Acts of Kindness: Perform small acts of kindness. Compliment a colleague, hold the door for someone, or simply smile.

Community Action Plan

1. Engage: Participate in local meetings, events, and organizations. Stay informed and involved.
2. Collaborate: Work together with your community to tackle local problems. Form action groups and brainstorm solutions.
3. Support: Encourage local initiatives that aim to improve the community. Support local businesses, green initiatives, and social programs.

Societal Action Plan

1. Advocate for Policy Change: Support policies that promote social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic equality.
2. Get Involved: Vote, participate in public discourse, and hold leaders accountable (like EnviroGuardians.4Good.Space ).
3. Educate: Support educational reforms that integrate global citizenship, critical thinking, and sustainability & punish 'bad' parents/corporates.

Corporate Action Plan

1. Develop next-gen Corporate Social Responsibility by adopting Corporate Parenthood, focusing on sustainability, ethical practices, community support, and enforcing accountability for any malpractice. CorpParenthood.4Good.Space
2. Sustainable Practices: Adopt business practices that minimise environmental impact whilst making money.
3. Employee Engagement: Encourage employees to engage in social and environmental causes not only in spare time but part of business practices.
4. Innovate: Invest in research and development of products and services that address local, societal & global challenges.
5. Ethical Leadership: Promote ethical leadership and decision-making at all levels, lead from the top & bottom.

Measuring Impact

We believe in the power of measurement. To ensure our initiatives are effective and meaningful:

1. Set Clear Goals: Define what success looks like for each initiative.
2. Track Progress: Regularly measure and report on the impact of your actions/initiatives.
3. Celebrate Successes: Recognise and celebrate achievements to maintain motivation and momentum.

Help us to create 4Good.Foundation

We cannot do this alone. Let's join forces and create the non profit 4Good.Foundation (using your 20% down or work time, I might know your company's CEO, we can create that support for you), we empower people to create initiatives that improve personal, community, societal, and business life (you choose!).

Our goal is to make these initiatives so successful that they become redundant, solving the problems they were created to address. Join us in this mission by:

1. Creating different Initiatives: Develop and launch projects that tackle real-world problems (that is important to you or your organisation).
2. Collaborating: Work with others to amplify your impact (& measure the results & share it within the network & wider world).
3. Measuring & formulate Success: Ensure every initiative is measurable and track its success, and formulate the interventions so others can emulate and adapt for their local culture/language/environments.

Together, we can & MUST #FixOurWorld, one action at a time. Let's make a +ve difference!

With hope and determination,

Let's FixTheWorld.4Good.Space together.. Join us.
