Impatient for Action
Last Monday I had the pleasure of attending the Second Annual Millennium Promise Partners’ Meeting. It was brilliant.
I have never been in a room with so many people I had only heard about, read articles by and watched lectures from online. Perhaps most wonderfully, everyone seemed impatient for action.
The setup was great. It allowed for sharing of ideas and I think it would have been hard not to come away even more inspired and empowered. The level of innovation was phenomenal.
World leaders, powerful calls to action from all spheres of society, articulations of genuine concern for the human condition, what more could you ask for? I cannot wait for the next one and most importantly to see what happens in the in between.
