Hope is the fuel for action
— even in troubled times!
THE WORLD CAN BE A
Have you ever looked at the current state of the world, the country, your community, or your life and said “Something has got to change?”
When we look at people who have created positive change in the world -- called "hopeful actors" -- they have particular qualities and practices we can emulate.
In this six-week virtual course, Dr. Cynthia Ganote will walk you through those qualities and practices and guide you on a journey to unlock your own “hopeful actor” potential, which is tied to your deepest values, highest vision, and most powerful gifts.
In this course you will:
-
Activate or amplify your own hope and inspiration
-
Discover a new model for transformative change
-
Connect to your own vision for the world
-
Create Your Hopeful Action Plan
You'll move beyond the vague sense of “something’s got to change” towards knowing exactly what YOU will do next to be part of the change you want to see in the world.
It’s about becoming a beacon of hope in action.
CHALLENGING PLACE
This course is designed for individuals who are ready to take inspired, effective steps toward a better future.
In this transformative course, you'll discover how hopeful actors—both past and present—have approached creating positive change. By weaving together their voices and experiences, we will explore and apply the traits that sustain hopeful actors over the long haul. You'll gain practical insights and strategies to fuel your passion and drive impactful action in your own life and community.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
INSPIRATION FROM CHANGE MAKERS
By weaving together voices from past and present who created positive change in the world, we can learn from examples of hopeful actors who have already been through hard times and modeled actions we can take.
HOW TO CULTIVATE RESILIENCY
Together, we will explore and apply the traits that sustain hopeful actors over the long haul. Discover the key traits and mindsets that keep hopeful actors motivated and resilient, even in the face of adversity.
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY
We’re stronger together. We’re more powerful together. And we’re more hopeful together. By metaphorically linking arms, we can create a united community of like-minded individuals who are ready to stand together and find strength in unity, support, and shared goals.
If we follow the examples of others, we can be inspired to take action through difficult times. We don’t have to do this alone!
