Services for the Common Good

Beyond Yes teaches public leaders how to apply practical wisdom to the choices and interactions they face every day.

We are constantly reminded of the complexity of the human condition. We are light and dark, hopeful and fearful, compassionate and murderous. Within our collective psyche lives the willingness to bear witness to crimes against humanity, and also the ability to commit them. If we are to have any chance at evolving as global citizens, then we must take a stand for the hope that the family of nations can learn from its mistakes. We must believe in new possibilities the world has never seen. Public sector leaders have a unique opportunity, and a special responsibility, to show us the way.”

- Erica Ariel Fox

We live in perilous times, and our approach to life in many ways is not working. As Eckhart Tolle wrote in A New Earth, “we are a species that has lost its way.” Beyond Yes for the Common Good aims to transform how public leaders, civil servants, and social change agents relate to themselves, to their regions, and to the rest of the world. We have witnessed first-hand the positive impacts this creates on pressing national and international challenges.

Practical Wisdom for Leading in Complex Times

• What takes leadership beyond toolkits and techniques?
• What deeper dimensions of resolving conflict can foster international security, economic development, environmental stewardship and social progress?
• What understandings guide leaders to alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity?
• Where do leaders find strength to persevere when conflicts seem intractable?

As we have looked into the eyes of leaders and spoken with them heart-to-heart, we find that many are striving to achieve a higher level of being. They simply don’t know how. Beyond Yes for the Common Good responds to this need in a powerful and lasting way.
