Future-makers
wanted

I recently decided to become non-executive because I would like to be an individual entrepreneur and come home with good business ideas either through the expansion of my own thinking or by leveraging the network I hope to get from this program.

It's been amazing. There are people here from 34 countries. I've engaged with more international executives in 5 days than I've done in 30 years in my career. The experience has been truly transformational for me. I now have contacts accross the globe that can help me to understand the realities of the future.

One thing that really stuck with me was that 30 steps of linear progress brings you 30 meters far, but if you have 30 steps of exponential progress that's 26 times around the world. That made me really realize, that's a lot more change than I initially thought. All these things... they're not in 10 years time, it's actually today.

The question: why am I not getting more involved? I needed someone to ask me that question and somebody did. From that standpoint, I'm pretty inspired to start thinking in that way.

This experience has shown me how technology can help us be abundant. It makes me feel like there's so much that I had no idea that there was ever in existence in this world, and now to be exposed to that: to learn that everything is possible... is really a lifechanging experience.
