What if we were tasked with making a difference, so that our time on this planet leaves it better than we found it? What if we were tasked with making a difference, so that our time on this planet leaves it better than we found it? This thought launched me into a new career as a Legacy Coach working with people who want to make a difference. I researched leaders who champion initiatives that have made a positive impact on the world, hoping to find ways to actively develop a new generation of responsible, purposeful leaders.

I call it the “sustainability mindset in action.” Isabel Rimanoczy’s life purpose is to develop change accelerators. Aware of the complex challenges we and our planet are facing, she works alongside those who can make a large-scale impact. Rimanoczy, Ed.D., developed the Sustainability Mindset, a concept she researched by studying business leaders who champion corporate initiatives with a positive impact on the environment and the community.

She is also the author of several books, including Big Bang Being: Developing the Sustainability Mindset, and has published over 140 articles and book chapters. Rimanoczy blogs for the Huffington Post and has just published her newest book, coedited with Keru Kassal available from Amazon. Click on book icon to order.

"Active Hope," by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone, challenges feel-good denial, cynical disengagement, and baseless optimism. Macy emphasizes that there are no comforting certainties or guarantees for safeguarding civilization or conscious life. We may be attending a dying world or birthing a new evolution, but the book stresses the imperative to act on issues we care about.

Inspired by "Active Hope," Cynthia Papermaster and Harvey Wasserman organized an evening of multi-issue presentations on January 10, 2016, at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists.
