The Power of Aspiration (video)
In his keynote presentation to our Climate, Buildings and Behavior symposium in October, leading organizational thinker Peter Senge offers a distillation of his insights into the most important factors in achieving meaningful change for the environment or in any sphere of life. They include positive aspirations instead of negative admonitions (“the power of aspiration is much greater than the power of desperation”), the desire and vision to bring into being and develop something new (like building a cathedral, or raising a child) and networks of relationships with collaborators engaged in “collective, creative process.” Whatever kind of personal or social change work you’re engaged in, you’ll take away actionable insights from this accessible and profound talk.
