To infuse the spirit of Collective Enoughness into GivingTuesday, Creating the Future is hosting an online conversation on November 29th at 2pm PT / 5pm ET – with activists who cross sectors and boundaries. Steve Wright and Ifeoma Aduba will join Creating the Future co-directors Hildy Gottlieb and Rebecca Hurd, to share their experiences with Collective Enoughness.
Among the questions we’ll be exploring…
- What does Collective Enoughness look like in action?
- What does it mean to share resources? How is that different from collaboration?
- Do businesses really share resources with each other? Do nonprofit / community benefit orgs really share?
- And most importantly, what does it make possible when a group’s culture is one of Collective Enoughness? What are they able to accomplish when they see life through that lens?
The conversation will be rooted in the 3 questions at the core of Catalytic Thinking *:
- What do we really want?
- What can we accomplish together that none of us can accomplish on our own?
- What do we have together?
Ifeoma Aduba has spent 2 decades leading social change efforts by activating the gifts of those around her. Most recently, she was the director of a domestic violence organization where she deeply engaged employees and the whole community to tackle this most serious issue. Ifeoma has recently begun working at the national headquarters of Harbor Compliance, to support their extensive offerings in the nonprofit arena. Ify is a deep thinker, with great passion for our human potential for creating a better world.
Steve Wright is a consultant, an entrepreneur, an active participant in the Social Capitalism movement, and a computer science teacher. He has directed the innovation efforts at the Salesforce.com Foundation, and directed efforts by the Grameen Foundation to ensure that every organization focused on serving people living in poverty had the tools for success. Like Ify, Steve combines deep thinking with great passion for creating social impact.

the technology is killing this broadcast…..esp the audio and echo…I would like to know the “how” of what each of you do besides potlucks…somehow that just doesn’t resonate with me at this point in time when, as Steve so aptly put it, we must deal with the issue of power and its mis-use at the highest levels of our own, gulp, government.
Peggy:
We were just as frustrated with the audio as you were. While we were able to address the sudden echo by muting our mics, using Google/YouTube for the streaming leaves us somewhat at their mercy. Thanks for bearing with us! Hildy
Steve – can you talk about how you deconstruct your “power” structure in your classroom….what exactly do you do? How do you do it??
