Thirteen fascinating stories about DreamMakers – People who have discovered the art and science of making their dreams come true. Inspiring both for who they are and for what they have accomplished, the extraordinary people, organizations and communities profiled in DreamMakers offer new insights into how they achieved their hopes and dreams with integrity and compassion. In their own words, these inspiring people tell their stories of leading grand scale transformations in the face of resistance, fear and adversity. They candidly share their personal stories, their struggles and their triumphs. In the mist of an era of failing institutions, communities in transition and fragile economies, these DreamMakers have discovered the art and science of making their hopes and dreams come true. Regardless of their age, gender, ethnic background, geography, socio-economic condition or circumstances, they found ways to transform chaos into opportunities. They are not blind optimist; rather, they use their struggles and the realities of the world to fuel their passion to create new, healthier organizations, communities, and lives. The people profiled in this book are not the famous people we read about or see on TV; they are ordinary people who show us that we all have the capacity to be extraordinary. Although these DreamMakers are highly diverse, they all share the same mind-set - attitudes and beliefs that transcend who they are, where they live and their individual circumstances. They have the heart to love and respect what it means to be human in a world that increasing appears to be broken. They perceive the consequences and benefits their actions have on others. They have the unique ability to energize others and to tap into the seemingly chaos of our lives and find our common yearnings for something better. They help others give voice to their personal vision and then build a collective shared vision based on love, truth, and possibilities. They have the deep insight to see the myriad of connections both among and within individuals. The stories in this book demonstrate what all of us can accomplish once we unleash the DreamMaker within – a capacity for visionary leadership that can promote profound change. These “pockets of hope” inspire us to transform our lives, our organizations, institutions, and our communities, to create a better world.
