- Feels they are living in a period of change.
- Feels uncertain about the future.
- Wants to make the world a better place.
One World is divided into 3 sections. The first section, Right Here, Right Now, is an exploration of our current situation. Creating An Understanding, touches upon the broader and more important concepts that create the foundations for a sustainable mindset. The Future Starts Now, focuses upon the change management, innovation and leadership that is so desperately needed to create our new world.
