For many years we have been guiding organizations to retire their dreary “mission, vision and values” statements and replace them with something exciting, passionate and inspiring – ONE Dream®. Dreams are the stuff of inspiration and they galvanize the spirits of people, providing a level of focus that other approaches cannot match. The City of Louisville, Humana Inc., ATB Financial, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and First Command Financial Services are just some of the organizations who are now living their dream. The process is grounded in rigorous research but the ONE Dreamô comes from the heart.
It is no surprise then thatthe 2010 Winter Olympics is all about dreams – the theme song is “One Dream”sung by Sarah McLachlan, and the entire event celebrates athletes coming to Vancouver to realize their dreams, human achievement and aspirations. The Olympic dream is a genuine desire to inspire the world.
These events in British Columbia, Canada are a crucible for dreams – I know two of the best athletes in the world who have been dreaming of these days, in which they hope to realize their dreams. Let’s cheer them on, and let’s bring some of their passion and the power of their dreams into our own organizations. We can live our dreams too. And we deserve to be inspired.
