100 COMMITMENTS
As a caring, conscious, creative collective of global leaders, following are our 100 commitments for a gender equal future and a better world for all. Our commitments offer an approach to each one of us to be the change and bring the change. Serving as lampposts and guidelines for our vibe and tribe, these emerge from our cross-cultural sensibility, ethos of participatory leadership, values driven community, and purposeful design toward developing an all-embracing global consciousness. Offering a flexible framework for all to tap into our common humanity, these inspire us to stay the course, grow and spread our wings, evolve and organise, foster shared values and contribute to co-creating the world we seek. We don’t need to commit to all 100. Any one or any mix that resonates with us at different times can become our source and space of self-discovery, progress, creativity and connection, propelling us onward and upward. All paths and all ways lead us toward our goals in oneness and wisdom.
