The Power of Dreams:
Activating a Collective Vision for a Better Tomorrow
Activating a Collective Vision for a Better Tomorrow
In 2021, our summit explored how leaders will need to be conscious of how to repair what has been lost and look for how to rebuild the future of our social and work environments in a way that is more human and more productive. This year, as we move forward on our 104th anniversary of convening leaders from around the world, we are explored how the power of dreams can create a better tomorrow.
What do you dream for yourself, your organization, your schools, your communities, and the world?

Thank you to all who joined us as we explored the power of dreams:
In his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. painted a picture of a better future and demonstrated the power of dreams to create a better world. This resonates even more today, as we are all living in a world where challenges have become even more complex, and we can no longer solve problems alone.
Dreams are powerful not only for us as individuals, but they are equally important for leaders and teams at all levels within organizations, our communities and our world. Through diversity of thoughts, incubation of new ideas and boundary-spanning collaboration, we no longer have to dream alone. When we dream together, we leverage each other’s support, experiences and perspectives to shape the collective vision that propels us to discover the brave solutions and actions our world is so desperately calling for.
To fuel our collective leadership so we can successfully navigate this increasingly VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world, we must get back to visioning and ignite the power of dreaming together. In this engaging and interactive two half-day virtual summit, we:
(1) created a space to pause, reflect upon, and share our personal stories and dreams;
(2) engaged our inherent capacities for achieving collective dreams; and
(3) built an environment of collaboration and support that will encourage and inspire us to turn our dreams into reality for the greater good.

Our Summit participants experienced a two day journey that will be grounded in a framework we call dreamSCAPing™. We took everyone through the following 4 key components:
Spark, Clarify, Activate, & Pursue.
Day 1
We provided participants the space to Spark and Clarify their dreams. Helena Abidin lead an exercise to co-create your dream using your imagination, creative visualization, senses, and movement. We heard from Allyson Hernandez about her dream of turning her newly published book into a Broadway musical and the lessons that she has learned. Todd Cherches helped us appreciate how Martin Luther King, Jr. was the king of visualization and how crafting our story by using visualization can gain followers and supporters. We also heard three unique stories from real people who are trying to make a positive difference in the workplace (promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in organizations led by April Powell and Cara-Lyn Giovanniello), in schools (promoting a culture of healthy dialogue for positive change led by Sue Rose) as well as in our society (promoting environmental sustainability through creating a vegan cheese sauce business led by Matthew Mullens).
Day 2
Day 2’s topics focused on ideas and tools to help us Activate and Pursue our dreams. Using the Tiny Habits Method, Linda Fogg-Phillips shared strategies on how we can make the “switch” from dreaming to taking positive actions that will turn our dream and vision into reality. Miguel Mendez lead a segment to ground us through meditation. Also, we heard from Fallon Davis and how they have activated and pursued their goals. All of this enabled us to integrate key insights and ideas into DreamSCAPing our own dreams. Vanessa Mbouw guided us as we reflect on the Summit and share the tools we picked up that will help us activate our own dreams.
Both days were infused with music, mindfulness, and moment for journaling.
