A message from John [PDF] |
John
Renesch is a leading writer and thinker on matters of social transformation.
He believes that commerce holds the key to bringing about a global shift of
human consciousness thus creating a future of tremendous possibility for
humankind - the possibility that will allow humanity to transcend the
inevitable future that can be projected from current trends. John
has four decades of experience as a business owner and entrepreneur. He left
his chief executive position in the real estate investment industry in the
mid-1980s and, after a period of personal introspection prompted by his
concerns for the future of humanity, he embarked upon a new path. He's now
published twelve books and hundreds of articles in international as well as
domestic journals and magazines. From
1990 to 1997, he served as publisher and editor-in-chief of New Leaders
Press, dedicated to publishing progressive business books and The New
Leaders newsletter. In this role, John created twelve business
anthologies on the subject of business and transformation. Over 300
visionaries contributed to these books. Among them are USC Professor
Emeritus, author and leadership expert Warren Bennis, Gary Zukav (author, The
Seat of the Soul), One Minute Manager creator Ken Blanchard, Riane
Eisler (author, The Chalice and the Blade), M. Scott Peck, MD (author,
The Road Less Traveled ), The Body Shop founder Anita Roddick, former
Herman Miller, Inc. CEO Max DePree, television genius Norman Lear, Harvard
University's Rosabeth Moss Kanter, international management guru Tom Peters,
Common Cause founder John Gardner, Megatrends series creators John
Naisbitt and Patricia Aburdene, Stanford Business School Professor Emeritus
Michael Ray, and former USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev. John
is now a global futurist, writer and keynote speaker on topics that integrate
the subjects of business, human consciousness and possible scenarios for the
future of humanity. He is the co-creator and former host for The Presidio
Dialogues, a monthly series of evening gatherings in San Francisco
focused on public conversations on business issues usually not normally
discussed. He is a member of the practitioner faculty
for the Center for Leadership Studies, past member
and project advisor of the World Future Society, current member of
the Shaping Tomorrow's Foresight Network (UK) and
advisory board member of the Sustainable Futures Foundation (Switzerland). His
latest book is Getting to the Better Future: A Matter of Conscious Choosing. As
a keynote speaker, John has presented his ideas and his observations to
audiences in Tokyo, Seoul, Brussels, London, Sao Paulo, Caracas, Gold Coast,
Zurich, Amsterdam, Budapest, Port-of-Spain and many U.S. cities (see clients and venues). He has received much praise as a
speaker and visionary (see endorsements).
John has also addressed numerous classes of MBA students, including Stanford
University, University of San Francisco and others. John
has been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, The Nikkei
Financial Times (Japan), Business Week, public radio's
"Marketplace," CNBC-TV's "Management Today Show," Chief
Executive magazine, Business Talk Radio, National Public Radio, Forbes
and Industry Week magazines on the subject of consciousness and
business. The Futurist magazine calls John a "business
visionary." |
