Philanthropy

Thank you for your interest in my work.

My unique personal experience, including the remarkable outcomes I’ve witnessed in intrinsically meaningful learning, relationship-based approaches to living with autism and purpose inspired collaborative business leadership, is grounded in a respect for the inherent value and dignity of others, for each person’s own intrinsic sense of meaning, and a commitment to the natural environment.

I have a vision of my life’s work: to do what I can to help transform our world from the mechanistic, command-and-control, directive institutional structures of the past 150 years to agile, organic, evolving environments founded upon principles of equity, intrinsic meaning and co-creative collaboration.

I believe that new and transformed institutions, based on respect for the individual [self-responsibility] and the ability of individuals to create meaningful outcomes together in collaboration [shared responsibility] will inherently create a healthy foundation for the future of humanity. Together, we can change the design of institutions to honor both the “me” and the “we,” and in so doing, create the world we all want.

While it’s unusual to think of the business world as “philanthropic,” my business interest as founder of MeaningSphere is grounded in the philanthropic spirit of serving a greater purpose. I am much more interested in empowering anyone, anywhere, to create a more meaningful and fulfilling worklife than in the economic rewards for doing so, as important and indispensable as those rewards can and need to be. At MeaningSphere, our definition of success is a world full of more rewarding careers, creating more worthwhile experiences for people everywhere and in a way that creates exciting value for all stakeholders, including our investors.
