About Us

Each and every one of us is creating the future every day,
whether we do so consciously or not.

~ Hildy Gottlieb, The Pollyanna Principles

Creating the Future is a place for demonstrating the power of questions to create a world that works for all of us. A "think-and-do tank," Creating the Future is a space for experimenting with questions that lead to transformational, systemic, progressive change.

Our Mission: 
Rooted in the radical inclusion, radical possibility, and radical strength of the question-based Catalytic Thinking framework, our mission is to ensure that those powerful questions are the go-to in the social change ecosystem. 

We accomplish this by applying the questions of Catalytic Thinking in a variety of  demonstration projects, and then sharing what we learn from those experiments.
