Our Story
Living The Potential Network is a community that works together to create a better future.
We connect individuals of all ages and backgrounds with the mentors, collaborators, resources, training, and opportunities they need to unfold their unique potential, so they can be and create the change they want to see in the world.
“We are so focused on our security that we don’t see the price we pay: living in bureaucratic organizations where wonder and joy have no place. Thus we are losing the spaces to dance with the ever changing patterns of life. We need to invent a new learning model for business, education, healthcare, government and family. This invention will come from the patient, concerted efforts of communities of people invoking aspiration and wonder.”

Our Vision
We are committed to training, supporting, and networking the individuals, businesses, schools, and community organizations that are determined to address the world’s biggest challenges.
From climate change to social injustice to a failing education system, we are applying our organic learning model to activate, cultivate, and network the potential in individuals, cultures, and systems.
The Organic Learning Model for Life
Our five-step framework is based on this idea that Nature knows what it’s doing and we should follow its lead.
For instance, each seed holds the blueprint to become a particular plant, but it has to be nurtured in fertile soil, warm sun, and plenty of water to grow.
Once the seeds sprout, insects begin to cross-pollinate between the plants to nurture and regenerate the entire ecosystem so that all of them are reaching upward and fulfilling their potential.
“You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children — that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself …”
