  Live from CGI: Building a Culture of Commitment

  Thanks for bringing this up, Coral. While I wasn't at 1st CGIU in New Orleans, I did attend (and loved!) CGIU Feb '09 in Austin, TX, when we launched www.fastforwardfund.org at press conf w/Pres. Clinton! I'd like to see the http://mycommitment.org/
  

  
  

  expand into a full-blown movement. Maybe we've already begun!

  thanks, Lucy. And I like the idea of engaging "MOP" as connection to source of ideas & change. I'd like to shift debate, though, from hierarchical pyramid language to another metaphor (...maybe sphere or spiral?) in which we all have interconnected roles to play, regardless of where we fall. I suggested in a tweet (twitter.com/DAytonShenker) earlier today that we consider calling the 4 billion poor "global majority" instead of "BOP"...

  The Daily Entrepreneur: Mentors, GSVC, and Rich Nations

  oops, just realized I posted comment intended for your previous post...
  anyway, I just finished & enjoyed rdng "Blue Sweater" which I've already passed along to a colleague to read. I loved the way Jacqueline honors her mentors in the book. I've been thinking a lot recently about how fluid our relationships/roles are: mentor, protege, peer...seems like the most potent & poignant relationships have a bit of all three.
