CARE as a practice: Contributing to high levels of social, environmental performance and human flourishing
When I initially discovered the B Corp Movement, I knew that I wanted to be a member of this community. Driving change through collective action has been my passion ever since I was a teenager for environmental issues. My professional work in both non-profit organizations and businesses has enabled me to develop diverse ways to provide people with a voice about issues that matter to them, their communities and our planet.
Fast forward.
I had an opportunity to apply to the German B Leader Training to gain the knowledge and understanding of the B Corp certification process. While I was experiencing this program, I discovered that one of the 3 founders, Andrew Kassoy had died. Shortly before his death the founders gathered together and discussed Kassoy’s vision for the future of the movement. When I watched this video tears ran down my cheeks as they have every time I have watched it. Kassoy shared a deeply profound message for all those who will follow in the B Corps movement.
Like many moments of serendipity, I did not know the significance of this moment.
At the time, I was deep in the exploration of the issues of mindset, especially leadership mindset. I wanted to better understand what was needed to create a sustainable shift in a leader’s understanding of his/her role.
