Just listened to Van Jones keynote which was moving and unbelivevably wonderful. He is the reason we have a green jobs bill. He started with the idea that we needed to have a future for the marginalized populations in the emerging field of clean energy. Because of his work in Oakland, CA, he became known and was invited by Nancy Pelosi to talk to her about his idea. The legislation was crafted shortly after that. He was an awesom speaker and the moment at the end of his talk when he choked up on the picture of three youngsters from his neighborhood, the enitre room was in tears. It was the most moving part of the conference and spoke to the experience we have been talking about in the Theory U presentation. it is the moment of connection with our hearts and the field of potentiality. We realize as the collective (over 1,000 folks in the room) that this man's dream touched every person heart as the right thing to do and the right thing to support.
We all walked out of that room changed individuals. It was a moment to be treasured when we see goodness and passion flow out into the crown and leave an imprint on each of us.
