  • The Changemaker Atlas: A Field Guide for Navigating Organizational Life

    Adriano Pianesi, MBA, ACC, Founder and CEO, ParticipAction Consulting, Inc.

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    The Changemaker Atlas is a practical and visual framework for anyone who wants to make meaningful progress inside complex organizations—without waiting for permission or perfect conditions. MORE >

    Developed by Adriano Pianesi, this field guide reimagines organizational life as a landscape to be explored rather than a system to be controlled. It helps leaders, managers, and teams map where they stand, identify what’s holding them back, and chart a realistic route toward impact.

    The Atlas introduces four territories every changemaker must traverse:

    - Islands of Preparation – where clarity, purpose, and readiness are built.
    - The Province of Compelling Leadership – where influence is earned through trust, not title.
    - The Land of Engaging People – where collaboration, energy, and dialogue take root.
    - The Territory of Measurable Results – where small wins become visible progress.

    Through stories, tools, and reflection exercises, The Changemaker Atlas teaches readers how to navigate organizational politics, surface hidden resistance, and lead from the middle. It combines the science of adaptive leadership with the art of facilitation and the mindset of a traveler—curious, observant, and ready to learn from the terrain.

    Whether you’re a team lead, project manager, or executive, this guide offers a map to turn everyday work into a journey of influence, growth, and contribution.

  • Grow Your Assets – Why growth is essential to your nest egg

    Thomas Yeung, Founder, Jurnex

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

    In this talk, I cover the importance of growing your assets safely and responsibly. Everyone knows to save for retirement.

But when it comes to investing, a good offense is a FAR better choice. MORE >

    These days, it's not enough to buy "safe" low-yielding investments or ETFs and hope for the best. That's because, with people living longer and pensions getting cut, you run the risk of outliving your savings.

  • What’s My Purpose? Create the Thing You Wish Existed

    Katie DePaola, Founder and CEO, Inner Glow Circle

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

    We’re all looking for our purpose to make sense of this life. We can find a sense purpose in many things - community, family, career, spiritual life. But our true purpose, no matter the sphere, is to create the thing we wish existed in the world. MORE >

    The problem is that most of us are largely taught to complain about the things we don’t like rather than change them. Complaints are low responsibility ways to ask for what we need. To reach our next level, both individually and collectively, we need to become more active than passive.

    Yes, we live in a difficult and often disheartening world, but the question is what can we do about it?
