Hildy Gottlieb and Vu Le
Creating visionary social change:
A conversation with Vu Le & Hildy Gottlieb
On May 23, 2024, Creating the Future's Hildy Gottlieb and Vu Le hosted a conversation about Catalytic Thinking as a pathway out of what Vu has described as being in a rut of incrementalism. The session was simultaneously inspiring and practical, leaving everyone asking for a next time. (We're working on that!)
On this page you will find the recording of the session, in video and in downloadable audio (for those who may want to listen while you commute or work out). The video has closed captioning, if that is helpful for you. You'll find the chat stream here as well, as the chat was alive with observations and insights.
We've also added some resources that were mentioned during the session, including the slides that Hildy shared.
If you have questions as you watch, please add them to the comments below, and we will have them answered there. In that way, everyone can learn together.
We are grateful to all who come to this page, for the work you are doing to make your community a healthier, more equitable, more humane place to live. This world is a better place because you are in it.
