Your definition of Regeneration: Going to the heart for answers and changing the vibrational field that we are collectively in?to be in harmony with All That Is!

Main business challenge you face:?Funding for Indigenous initiatives.

The Inspirators who determined you to take the regenerative path:

• Don Alejandro (the keeper of the day calendar for the Mayans)
• Rita Blumenstein (the spiritual advisor to the International Council of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers)

A starting point for companies or professionals that are beginning the regeneration journey: Self-healing!

Most used and abused clichés in sustainability that bother you:

The way companies use it to sell or justify their existence. Continuous use of the word sustainability that it makes it become meaningless!

An honest piece of advice for young people who lose hope:

I don’t give advice, I offer guidance.?What you choose to do is your choice and I cannot interfere with your sacred path.?The guidance I offer is that you must have the heroic courage to follow what your heart is telling you to! Your mind’s job is to implement what your heart is telling you even when people may say you are nuts!

Trends in Regeneration we should keep an eye on: Changes in people and what they do worldwide in addressing what Mother Earth is asking of them.

Events we should attend / Best places for networking (online or offline):

Any place that highlights Indigenous voices and Mother Earth… like Ubiquity University!

Reasons to feel optimistic about our future in 2030: People are changing and realize what used to work doesn’t anymore and therefore are seeking their answers from their hearts through intuition.

************************

When?inspiration?is missing from your life, you feel stuck.

Inspiration is feeling alive. It is freedom.

#inspirators series started as a LinkedIn newsletter.

A?questionnaire similar to Proust’s, but with a modern twist, where brilliant Global Regenerative Voices?shared their reflections on regeneration, business, love, sustainability, creativity, nature, travel, and life itself: John Elkington, Riane Eisler, Leen Gorissen, Wayne Visser, Edith Widder, Kumi Naidoo, Hinemoa Elder, Ha Vinh Tho, and many more. Diversity at its best: explorers, authors, cave divers, indigenous leaders, musicians, mythologists, biologists, philosophers, creatives, film producers, or Buddhist monks. The?ones who walk the?regenerative?talk. For real.

After more than 50 editions, #inspirators evolved into a consultancy studio supporting regenerative pioneers and sustainability leaders in bringing an inspiring?twist to their personal brand.

We playfully advise you on:

* how to network & find partners for implementing SDG-17

* how to enhance your LinkedIn storytelling & visibility

* how to find events for your Keynote Speaking gigs

* how to deliver impactful & visually-appealing presentations

* how to mindfully promote your book(s)

* how to identify meaningful trends and fresh ideas for your projects

… while offering deep exposure to our diverse, international and fast-growing community.
