World Changing Careers Symposium
Designing career paths for a bright green future.Youth and adult professionals welcome.

Inspired by the Liu’s global perspective, at this year’s Leading Change we ask -    “How Are You Going to Change the World?”

Today a new form of capitalism is arising that recognizes both the power and efficiency of market systems and the ability to direct them toward social and environmental issues leading to a more balanced set of "returns." Early efforts by social entrepreneurs and enlightened investors have given rise to "Social Capital Markets" that include affordable housing, clean technology, microfinance, fair trade and many other socially focused enterprises. SOCAP will bring the major players and emerging thought leaders in the field to discuss innovative ways to expand those markets and bring socially responsible investing and the channeling of capital to SME’s and grassroots business organizations into the mainstream.

SVI offers the mission-based entrepreneur an opportunity to share challenges, successes, and experiences with peers in an atmosphere of trust and goodwill. Each attendee brings commitment of social change to their enterprise, whether a for-profit business or a non-profit organization. Over the years, SVI has provided over 2,000 entrepreneurs the opportunity to strengthen their business skills, network with other social change leaders, and rejuvenate their passion and vision.

This special-focus seminar is an invitation to join a select community of powerful and collaborative social change and business leaders in creating a more just and sustainable world.  Develop new models of leadership, strengthen and sustain compelling visions for your organization, while dealing more effectively with organizational challenges.

Master facilitator and teacher Robert Gass leads this advanced training for graduates of the Art of Leadership program. Expand your capacity to create your visions and dreams by understanding how to work in greater harmony with the forces within and around you.
