I am in service to others, humanity and the planet.
In Service
Principles
My biggest inspiration is my mother, who has been serving others all of her life.
I help elevate the consciousness of humanity by inspiring others to lead a meaningful life and by focusing my own contribution on the intersection of consciousness, technology and finance.
I achieve maximum beneficial impact for others, humanity and the planet with minimum effort – applying nature’s ‘law of least effort’.
I joyfully serve others applying the law of ‘giving and receiving’, always giving without any expectation of receiving.
Current Practice
I inspire others to reflect on their well-being and to go deeper on their impact journey – via speaking engagements and writing.
I mentor others.
I (co-)develop inspiring content like
Multi-media content for family, e.g., photo books and videos;
Personal Web site;
Thought leadership pieces on deep impact for the global impact community;
Philosophical, spiritual, and autobiographical book.
I contribute to systemic change, particularly to the change of the financial and economic system by:
Supporting research to develop the ‘Post Modern Portfolio Theory’ that has impact at its core.
Helping to define and popularize ‘deep’ impact as a way to galvanize support and awareness for systemic change in the economic and financial field.
I am co-founder or (advisory) board member of the following efforts:
My path of being in service to others continues to deepen until I die.
I will be more creative looking for opportunities to be of service – guided by synchronicity, embracing improvisation and playfulness.
