VISIONARIES CHANGE THE WORLD:
Making Commitments and Taking Action
Hello! And thank you for visiting our website. We are very excited about introducing you to our new book, VISIONARIES CHANGE THE WORLD: Making Commitments and Taking Action. Click here to watch feature videos on people featured in the book!
While much of our world is fighting over oil and gas, political power and corruption, a small, but very powerful group of people, are fighting for the survival and dignity of the world's people. They are doing this by observing major problems in the world and doing something about them. Some are using their earned status, such as Dr. Muhammad Yunus (Microcredit) and Bill Clinton, to alleviate world wide oppression.
After interviewing over 3,000 leaders throughout my career, 82 of which are in the book, I've concluded that these people are doing what they do not for the sake of personal glory but because they feel it is the right thing to do.
We are in an extraordinary time in our history when people feel an overwhelming need to help others through their talents, time, and money.
People in the book who are MAKING COMMITMENTS and TAKING ACTION:

Why Should I Read This Book?
This is a book for all the world’s people, not just Americans. Umair Haque, Director of Hayas Media Labs and Harvard Business Review blogger studies how businesses can create real value and observes the growing consumer demands for impactful products.
"The Meaningful Brands survey—which spoke to 50,000 consumers in France, Spain, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, China, Japan, India, and the U.S.—found that only 20% of the brands they interact with have a positive impact on their lives. And they feel that 70% of brands could disappear entirely without them noticing."More than half (51%) of consumers want to reward responsible companies by shopping there; 53% would pay a 10% premium for products from a responsible company. And they want companies involved: 85% of consumers want companies to be engaged on global issues, but only 22% think they’re getting enough. Haque says that if companies don’t start responding to these trends, they will be punished."
The surveys show that people have concerns about their future, and this book will provide some examples of what others have done to further some of these causes.
You will be excited listening to their stories. You can go away knowing that you have heard greatness at its best and find a place in your heart to make your own contribution.
