Master teaching from evolutionary thought leaders to help us be the change and enjoy the ride more!
Welcome! I’m so delighted to share the new WIT Resource Hub. Again, this is not your father’s leadership curriculum or typical management tips or fluffy self-help. I’ve been a zealous learner for decades. There’s a lot of stuff out there trying to tell us how to succeed, be happy, lead, and perform. Let’s face it, not all of it is wise, pure, sustainable advice, right? Here, my intention is to feature teachers that are cream of the crop, and in that genre of “what they don’t teach you in MBA school” that could be vitally helpful to your true success. They will bring you eye-opening insights and game-changing, enduring growth. When I have the privilege to speak at leadership conferences and professional gatherings (e.g. Kellogg, Loyola, University of Chicago, Executive Network) I may reference some of my heroes and inspiring teachers. While they are rock stars in their fields, I’ve learned that many of you bright achievers out there have not had the pleasure of their cutting-edge wisdom yet. If you’d like effective concepts and tools for fulfilling success in life, career, relationships, et al- it’s richly here. If you’re also spiritually open and curious about what the heck is happening with how we evolve as a species and society, this will be a booster shot for your evolutionary soul. If you’re reading this my hunch is you are destined to enjoy becoming a new breed of inspired, conscious contributors and leadership we need for 21st century sustainability.
So, here I come, opening my closet, from the depths of my heart and learning-coaching-teaching journey even more. I look forward to sharing and discovering more about what really helps us create inspired living. And to what you may bring to the party, too! Let’s dive in together, shall we?
Reaching your potential is more important than reaching your goals. Max Dupree

Lynne Twist
When you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t really need, it frees up oceans of energy to make a difference with what you have. When you make a difference with what you have it expands.
What you appreciate – appreciates. L.T.
Lynne Twist is one of my heroes, on the short list. Her Soul of Money work is the best teaching about prosperity consciousness (and I’ve done lots of workshops, books, et al on that topic). And, she’s much more than an author-speaker about money!
A great way to start- Enjoy the foundational teachings from Lynne in this More

What if the world depended on you waking up? M. Beckwith
If I had to highlight a key teaching from Beckwith, it’s… More Bend it like Beckwith

Marianne Williamson
Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. M. Williamson
When asked, where are the leaders like JFK, Martin Luther King, or Gandhi of our day, Marianne has said, “We all need to be looking to better angels of our own selves right now. We don’t need to be looking for great people, so much as becoming great people.” More

Andrew Harvey
What we are being asked to do is not to “fix” the existing system but to radically transform it (so we no longer, by our choices, threaten our lives and the live of millions of species.) And we can do this only by transforming ourselves. A.H.
When you first experience Andrew (especially live on stage, speaking about his passions…More

Eknath Easwaran
The only way to influence people for the better- your family, friends, your club, your class, your colleagues, your society, even your enemies- is through your personal example. Harmony with the environment- the alleviation of our environmental crisis-and harmony with others- the easing of our social, political and economic difficulties-all begin with a third harmony: harmony with ourselves. E.E.
Why Easwaran inspires me …More

Sharif Abdullah
It is only through a profound shift in consciousness that a new society can be born. We all must undergo this shift [which] must precede any change in institutions, laws or social patterns. The necessary change is specific: from “I am Separate” to “We are One”. Our deep divisions and seemingly insurmountable problems are leading us to new ways of working together. We have to move beyond “honoring diversity” to embrace inclusivity.
Creating a society that works for all is a sacred act. Our true values lie beyond empty posturing, political sloganeering and campaign rhetoric. We are stronger than our fears and better than our limitations. S. Abdullah

Mahatma Gandhi
I perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is, underlying all that change, a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves, and re-creates. And is this power benevolent or malevolent? I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists. Hence I gather that God [this power] is Life, Truth, Light…is Love.
He who strives never perishes. I have implicit faith in that promise. Therefore, though from my weakness, I fail a thousand times, I shall not lose faith. I know the Path. Gandhi
My love affair and admiration for Gandhi was ignited by the very first More

Caroline Myss
Our goal while on this earth is to transcend our illusions and discover the innate power of our spirit. We are responsible for what we create, and we must therefore learn to act and think with love and wisdom and live in service to others and all life. C.M.
It is your birthright to discover your sacred contract. It will guide you to find your divine destiny.
Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it? C.M.
Why Caroline inspires me: …More

Craig Hamilton
We live in extraordinary times. Amidst the chaotic, accelerating pace of modern life, each day more and more of us are awakening to a mysterious call to evolve. A mood of electrifying purpose is stirring in our hearts and minds, calling us to rise to a new order of being, so that we can participate in the creation of a new world.

Eckhart Tolle
An essential part of the awakening is the recognition of the unawakened you, the ego as it thinks, speaks, and acts…
Unless you know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, you won’t recognize it, and it will trick you into identifying with it again and again.
You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness. E.T.

Deepak Chopra
We have never needed enlightened leadership as much as we do now. D.C.

Barbara Marx Hubbard
A new world view is arising …
There has always been a longing in the human heart for a more just, free, loving and creative society. But it was never before possible to fulfill these aspirations, because we had neither the evolutionary drivers and global crises to force us to change, nor did we have the scientific and technological powers that can free us from the limitations of scarcity, poverty, disease, and ignorance. This is the time of awakening…

Barbara Marx Hubbard is called the grandmother of conscious evolution, and going fiercely strong at age 81. More

Dan Pink
The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. These people…will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys. D.P. from A Whole New Mind

Who inspires you? How can YOU be a Thought Leader?

May today there be peace within. May you trust Infinite Spirit that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of the Infinite Source of Love….
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Teresa of Avila
