I believe the fortunate and well-to-do have an obligation to help people who are less fortunate than themselves. Giving money is one thing, giving time another, giving talent even better, however providing inspiration and education… these last a lifetime and spread from person to person. The effects are magnified over time and are long-lasting.
Since as long as I can remember I have felt inspired to make a difference in other peoples’ lives. Travel around the world and you soon see how great the need is.
For many years I thought the path to giving was through sacrifice and self-denial. I realized over time that there must be a middle way between self-sacrifice and self-interest.
What the world needs most is courageous leaders who lead and inspire others. Leaders who are not seduced by the negative aspects of power, leaders who are congruent, are examples for others to follow, leaders who live in integrity and inspire others to do the same.
In 2003, together with Anjou MacPherson, we established the Goldzone Leadership Center as an educational organization dedicated to educate, support and inspire leaders into a new paradigm of leadership. We deliver consulting, training and coaching services via custom build, full-service leadership centers.
In 2009 we established the Goldzone Foundation as a non-profit organization with the mission of promoting; higher values, responsibility, leadership and to inspire individuals to step up to the leadership challenge.
We established this Website (www.renaissanceforleaders.com) to provide information, education and inspiration on a daily basis.
To date, the Goldzone Foundation has not taken outside donations and is 100% funded by Anjou MacPherson and myself.

I personally believe that there is that Good in every single one of us that wants to create the change for fellow Humans, environment and the mess that Man has created in some ways. In order to do all that, and to play a bigger part, we require clarity, power, heart and synergy with others, etc to create a bigger wave to fully evoke change.
“It starts with Me.”
I am humbled and appreciative of you and Anjou’s efforts. And may we and many grow to play that meaningful game to bring about that Beautiful World that it is be meant to be.
