“In times of discord and polarization, leaders must take the first brave steps through the dark to have deep impacts on our relationships and our world, our organizations, and our communities.”
– Dan R. Porterfield
Watch a discussion on leaning into courage and values-based leadership to take the first steps towards monumental action and pivotal change. Hear:
- A keynote from Dan R. Porterfield, President and CEO, Aspen Institute, on the history of Aspen Institute and the hope that humanism – a focus on the person and the community – can have a significant contribution to achieving a free, just, and equitable society for all everywhere,
- And remarks from Ashley Bell, Civil Society Fellow and Founder and CEO, Ready Finance and Van Jones, Founder, Dream Innovation Lab. They reflect on leaning towards the ‘other’ despite difference or conflicting beliefs to find common ground and reach a bigger feat – the most successful prison reform in the history of prisons, releasing 30,000 people from federal prison in 2018.
