Consistency Builds Trust

Community Leader Tip #2: Consistency Builds Trust | PACEsConnection

According to a 2019 study published by Harvard Business Review, consistency is one of the 3 elements of trust. If you are starting a PACEs initiative and you are wanting people to rally behind you, attend your events, share ideas with you, and meet and set goals together, you will need to demonstrate through your actions that people can trust you. The HBR article said that people trust someone as a leader who "walk the talk, honor commitments and keep promises, and follow through on commitments."

Practically, the way I see this working in a PACEs initiative, or any community coalition you may be starting, is to have:

1. Steering or planning committee meetings at regular intervals
2. Public-facing events at regular intervals

The steering/planning committee could meet every month, say, the second Tuesday of the month, and plan the course of action. These meetings need to stay regular so people build trust that they're going to happen as planned. The more they happen as planning, the more trust increases, and the more important things your coalition will be able to tackle together.

Vasectomy and Hysterectomy are both very profitable for doctors and hospitals. . . However, people then loose their fundamental systems for hormones and lymph system operations.  Thus, the resulting health complications are extensive and completely impossible to link to the action medical surgery.  This is a strong exploitive monopoly with excessive profits and very little liability risks. 

I did research on this once.  The Florida hospital systems have nearly a dozen different names for a Hysterectomy and literally hundreds of excuses to complete them . . . birth control, stop hot flashes, reduce stress. . . etc. . .   I was stunned to find out how often these are done "routine"  (similar to prostate surgery) - - - Of course the resulting defective hormones and lymph leads to a defective immune systems = Creating Cancer!

But all the profit on cancer means they will never admit any "causes" for cancer except immediate toxins. Like the dentist who will carefully cover your body with a protective lead blanket to x-ray your teeth, but every flight you take is like 10-50x that, and those security folks are certainly all getting fried with no liabilities!

Natural Health: A Comprehensive Guide to Living Healthy

It’s well known that Big Pharma and Big Medicine have in the past made concerted efforts to keep alternative therapies from becoming mainstream. For decades, the American Medical Association (AMA) tried to shut down the entire chiropractic industry, convincing the public that chiropractic medicine was based on pseudoscience, which means fake science.[8] The AMA established a Committee on Quackery in 1963 to keep chiropractors from being included on medical insurance, or from becoming mainstream. They spread the word in schools and columns like Ann Landers and Dear Abby, and wrote TV scripts that the entire field was anti-science, and even “killed people.”

But in the David vs. Goliath battle, chiropractic won out. Five chiropractors sued the American Medical Association in 1972, and after an 11-year court battle, the AMA was found guilty of trying to destroy its competition – chiropractors. As a result of this legal victory, chiropractic medicine has now become widely accepted and used and is even now recommended by conventional doctors.

10 Qualities of A Game-Changer

10 Qualities of A Game-Changer – Does This Sound Like You? – Jesica Hanley Vega

Here are the “Ten Qualities Of A Game Changer.”

Now ask yourself: Does this sound like you? Or the person you are called to be? 

1. You understand that all life is connected. You see the human family, in all its diversity, as an integral component in the whole of the web of creation, and are committed to building a society that reflects and reveres the sacred and interconnected nature of all life.
2. You stand for a sustainable, just and fulfilling future. You stand for and act from an informed vision that a sustainable, just and fulfilling future for all beings is urgent, possible and essential.
3. You recognize that the universe is friendly. You recognize that the universe is friendly and that the evolutionary force that put the stars in motion is moving through us and is a dynamic, self-organizing process whose grace and guidance we can trust.
4. You realize that we are called to be evolutionary activists. You realize that the human role and responsibility now is an evolutionary activist, intentionally engaging with the momentum of evolution to shape the future as it is being brought into being.
5. You inquire deeply. You understand that the collective transformation of our society requires a completely new definition of what is possible in being human, and requires that we inquire deeply into questions such as: “Who am I, really?” and, “What is my relationship the the whole?”
6. You recognize systems of power and privilege. You recognize that the social injustice and environmental exploitation in our world are not the “natural order of things,” but rather, are the outcome of intentionally-designed systems of power and privilege. These systems and structures resist change, and lead to further injustice, violence and suffering.
7. You put forth a new story. You are able to discern the cultural stories that perpetuate inequity and concentrate power and privelege, and you live from and share new stories that create the paradigm for a just and sustainable future.
8. You are no longer “food” for the system. Your actions and interactions move in the direction of undoing – rather than being complicit with  – systems and structures that perpetuate an unjust, unsustainable, unfulfilled world.
9. You take action that strikes at the root. You seek to engage in effective personal and collective actions that strike at the root causes of the global crises, and you involve others in taking those actions.
10. You are part of a global movement. You experience being an integral member of a vast and growing evolutionary movement toward reconciliation and wholeness.

A new model for corporate governance

Without a sense of purpose, no company, either public or private, can achieve its full potential. It will ultimately lose the license to operate from key stakeholders. It will succumb to short-term pressures to distribute earnings, and, in the process, sacrifice investments in employee development, innovation, and capital expenditures that are necessary for long-term growth. It will remain exposed to activist campaigns that articulate a clearer goal, even if that goal serves only the shortest and narrowest of objectives.



Larry Fink's letter to CEOs | BlackRock

This watershed moment couldn’t have come at a more symbolic time.

This week marks the fifth anniversary of Harvard Business Review’s publishing of Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business.  Written by Whole Foods Market co-founder and CEO, John Mackey, and F.W. Olin distinguished professor of Global Business at Babson College, Raj Sisodia, Conscious Capitalism was the catalyst to accelerate a nascent movement aimed at proving business as a force for good.

At the time of the book’s publishing, the concept of Conscious Capitalism wasn’t new. Grameen Bank co-founder Muhammad Yunnus coined the term “socially conscious capitalist enterprise” during a 1995 interview with The Atlantic about expanding the benefits of capitalism to those who needed it the most through a novel approach to microcredit and microfinance in developing nations.

Working DefinitionsIWRM “A process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.” Global Water Partnership, www.gwp.org/en/The-Challenge/What-is-IWRM/

It is based on the Dublin Principles, stating that: “1) freshwater is a finite and vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life, development and the environment; 2) water development and management should be based on a participatory approach involving users, planners and policy makers at all levels; 3) women play a central part in the provision, management and safeguarding of water; 4) water is a public good and has a social and economic value in all its competing uses; and 5) integrated water resources management is based on the equitable and efficient management and sustainable use of water.” Global Water Partnership, http://www.gwp.org/en/The-Challenge/What-is-IWRM/Dublin-Rio-Principles/

AM “Seeks to aggressively use management intervention as a tool to strategically probe the functioning of [a system]. Interventions are designed to test key hypotheses about the functioning of the [system]...[it] identifies uncertainties, and then establishes methodologies to test hypotheses concerning those uncertainties. It uses management as a tool not only to change the system, but as a tool to learn about the system...The achievement of these objectives requires an open management process which seeks to include past, present, and future stakeholders. Adaptive management needs to at least maintain political openness, but usually it needs to create it. Consequently, adaptive management must be a social as well as scientific process...” Resilience Alliance, http://www.resalliance.org/600.php

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
