Title: Our childrens future hangs in the balance


1
Our childrens future hangs in the balance
  • The choices that we make now about how we work
    and what we work towards are pivotal.
  • And we are new to this. Our minds are trained in
    the old way. We have to learn new thinking fast
    if we are to work with purpose to build the world
    we want.

2
Where are we heading?
  • Look at some predictable trends that are changing
    our world NOW

3
The 4 Global Mega-Trends are
  • Monetary Instability
  • Global Greying (an ageing global population)
  • The Information Revolution
  • Climate Change

4
Together these form The Time Compacting Machine
Monetary Instability
Climate Change and Biodiversity Extinction How
can we resolve conflict between financial
interests and long term Sustainability?
Age Wave How will society provide the elderly
with the money to match their longevity?

Information Revolution How to provide a living To
billions with jobless growth
5
By 2020 these mega trends collide
  • We should expect as much change in the world
    over the next 20 years as over the past 200
    (Peter Russel) and as much change in
    consciousness about money as over the past 5,000
    years (Bernard Leitaer)

6
When these trends collide it is probable that
one of 4 dominant global realities will exist
No Monetary Crash
Corporate Millennium
Sustainable Abundance
Lower Individualistic Priorities
Highly Individualistic Priorities
Hell on Earth
Careful Communities
Monetary Crash
7
Which reality do we want in 2020?
  • Corporate Millennium? Where Governments are
    disbanded, central banks become irrelevant and
    the world is run with Big Brother control by huge
    corporations with their own currencies..
  • Hell on Earth? In which the breakdown of life as
    we know it is followed by a highly
    individualistic free-for-all, resulting in an
    ever more obscene gulf between rich and poor
  • Careful Communities? After a monetary crash,
    people retreat into small, self-sustaining
    communities, like tribes (with the tribal
    tension, warfare and protection that goes with it
  • Sustainable Abundance? A world where we take
    better care of the environment, re-engage the
    poor and the unemployed in mainstream society and
    give back time and fulfilment to the over-worked,
    while providing the elderly with a high level of
    personal care

8
What is Sustainable Abundance?
  • It is NOT about taking away from the haves and
    distributing to the have-nots
  • It IS about giving everybody a fair chance of
    creating new wealth
  • By learning the principles of Sustainable
    Abundance, you can become part of this quiet by
    momentous evolution
  • In times of extraordinary change it is no
    failure to fall short of realising all that we
    might dream the failure is to fall short of
    dreaming all that we might realise Dee Hock,
    Founder and Chairman Emeritus VISA International

9
Sustainable Abundance is achievable, if we
  • Re-think our money systems to make abundance
    available to all
  • Evolve our personal responses to money
  • Use tried and tested money innovations
  • Become clear about the contribution we want to
    make through our work
  • Evolve our thinking and behaviour around work
  • Design business systems that nurture and support
    our best good
  • See health as a business advantage
  • Stop forcing and start evolving a planet we are
    proud of, becoming people we respect

10
We are all relying on you, not organisations, to
be the major agents of change
  • By 2020 the new values and structures will be
    in place to direct future societies and power.
  • Ours is the generation that decides what those
    values and structures will be.
  • At MeUnLtd we coach individuals and
    organisations to develop new approaches to work
    and money, to serve their best good, run
    businesses and careers that light up their
    spirits, and provide abundance for all
