Let's create a better future together!

Sounds fluffy or out of reach? It's not! Any progress starts with positive change in individuals, and I'll briefly share my view on how we all can contribute to a better future by initiating the change that feels right and important to each of us.
If we want to see major progress, such as more sustainable businesses and societies, we need to build that progress over time and based on broad and diverse change. This may feel overwhelming and challenging, but ultimately it all boils down to changes in the thinking, intentions, choices and behaviours of individuals.
We all have a unique and important role in creating a better and sustainable future.
In the same way as it takes many different people to build a car or a house, or run an entire organisation, city or nation, it takes many people to create major progress - where each individual involved plays a unique and important role in the bigger picture.
Creating meaningful change from the inside out
Rather than pushing for change based on how we view our external world, it can be more helpful to start looking for changes we would like to see for ourselves based on where we are as individuals right now.
Meaningful personal growth starts from where we are now.
There can be many good ways to start our individual journeys of change and growth. One way can be to ask ourselves the following questions:
- What are my own and true intentions? What do I see as my purpose?
- How can I be a little more of who I truly am, and eventually be all that I can be?
- How can I adjust my thinking, choices and behaviours accordingly?
- How can I inspire and create a space for others to ask and deal with the same questions, be it family, friends, colleagues or fellow citizens?
- How can I help build better organisations and societies, as a member or leader?
By answering questions like this, we are likely to develop a growing desire and ability to change based on new thinking, intentions, choices and behaviours.
Ripples of Change for the better
By changing as individuals, and how we lead ourselves and others, we also give space, inspire and contribute to change in others, our organisations and societies - and ultimately humanity as a whole and an integrated part of our biosphere:
In this way, what initially appears to be insignificant changes on an individual level can grow into significant changes and progress on collective levels.
New organisational and societal ideals and structures are likely to play a central role in our progress.
Progress is a journey, and as we change and grow we will also find new and more meaningful ways to relate and collaborate, further accelerating change on both individual and collective levels. As we move forward, new organisational and societal ideals, principles and structures driven by new leadership qualities are likely to play a central role in our progress.
Our way forward
Summarised, I believe we can create a better and sustainable future when we:
- Work on our own personal growth
- Inspire and help other people to grow
- Team up with others to improve our leadership, organisations and societies
