Leaders in Action Society is a platform of inspiring stories told in the first person through intimate and memorable conversations with some of the great leaders of our time – people whose occupations range from the corporate world to the arts, academia to sports, science to philosophy, politics to planet conservation. Their backgrounds and nationalities might diverge, but every single one of them embodies a true 21st century leader. These stories are made into compelling videos that can reach millions of people around the world, powering conferences in various cities, masterclasses at schools and universities as well as workshops at corporations.
It’s an ambitious and beautiful media project, with strong inspiration, education and training traits, designed to unleash the leader that exists inside each of us.
At the core of this project is a deeply-held belief that each and every one of us has a unique gift. If we take this talent, and put it into action we have the potential to propel not only ourselves, but those around us further. We strongly believe that inside all of us, there is a leader waiting to be empowered.
We also believe in the power of storytelling. People inspire people, and a well-told story can have effects that ripple far and wide. We operate in a digital world, where communication is easier than ever, and we want to harness this power to amplify the right ripples. The ripples that can change tomorrow for the better.
Leaders in Action Society is a learning and networking platform where the life stories, knowledge and ideas of some of today’s greatest leaders can be shared, in the hopes of being a catalyst for change.
HOW WE DO IT
The journey begins with great conversations with even greater people. We travel extensively around the world to find the curating incredible men and women who we will be featuring – people with a great deal to share their ideas and experiences and to teach and inspire others.
These conversations, conducted by Carlota Ribeiro Ferreira and Tim Vieira, are then edited into 20-minute episodes. Each episode is totally dedicated to a leader’s life, story and purpose. That is why in every episode we dive deep into these leaders’ life lessons, what brought them to where they are now, what were their most challenging experiences and greatest achievements, what were the turning points of their careers and who were the companions along the way. Every episode is both informative and inspirational in the hopes of igniting and empowering the leaders within our viewers.
In addition to the video series’ weekly online releases, with translation and subtitles in 4 languages or more, we will also be organizing global live experiences to bring these stories straight to schools and corporations around the world.
Leaders in Action Society is an ever-evolving project, and its growth is not only dependent on us and the people we feature, but also on you, an audience who wants to learn and be inspired. Our platform and our events are meant to be an open dialogue, where all of us can communicate and collaborate. We want to nurture and develop a culture of leaders in action and all of us to strengthen it around the world.
WHEN WE DO IT
