The power to make a positive difference

The power to make a positive difference

At this time of impending planetary crises due to global warming, habitat destruction and the extinction of species, potential economic collapse and increasing inequality everywhere, it is easy for people to feel helpless and unable to make any difference to the situation.

The surprising answer to the question of what can one person out of 7.7 billion do to effect meaningful change is that we each have access to unlimited power to make a significant positive contribution to the transformation of our world.

In this presentation I show that by learning to follow the deepest calling of our hearts, we can allow our inspiration and passion to come alive in our lives. By channelling that into positive practical actions we can be highly effective in manifesting projects that embody care and love, and be an inspiring example to others.

Drawing on my personal experience of founding the award-winning conservation charity, Trees for Life, this talk reveals how a single person can start a project with nothing but passion, overcome obstacles along the way and achieve success that makes a significant positive difference in the world.

If you would like me to give this talk to a group or at an event, please contact me.

    This was inevitable
    Glaciers in Nepal, stuck between two major carbon emitters - India and China, melted 65% faster in the last decade than in the previous ‌one
    So no surprise all this melting is causing massive landslides
    This is called progress economic growth development

    I thought that Israel controls Palestine and Lebanon, then I realized that Israel controlls all countries except Palestine and Lebanon.

    Instead of saying "Free Palestine" and “Free Lebanon” you should say "Free America" and "Free Europe" from Israel.
