Introducing...
Adventures in Reinventing Work:
Tales of Pioneers from Around the World
Inspired by the 2021 Teal Around the World festival, a self-organized group of volunteers including 11 writers and 14 storytellers came together and worked for many months conducting interviews, writing, and co-creating, to bring this book of stories to you and to the benefit of our collective purpose – to create a sustainable, prosperous future that empowers and uplifts everyone.
This book explores the personal journeys of ordinary people who are choosing to create our future. They have no easy models to follow from our past. They are trying to fix the unfixable. They are paving new paths for us to create a sustainable, prosperous, future that empowers and uplifts all of humanity.
This is a book about real personal struggles for answers, explorers who are knee deep in muddy terrains, navigating their way, falling down all the time, and never failing to rise back up. It is a book of hope. It provides guideposts to help us navigate our journey and gives us inspiration to be as brave and bold as we need to be, to reinvent our future.
There are three sections to the book.
01
Section 1 includes stories about evolving existing organizations.

In recent years, ever more people around the world feel the need to reinvent the way we are managing organizations - and then get going! These pioneers experiment with radically new ways of working that make not only for a better place to work, but offer a promise of a better way to be human and to deal with the living world.
To show us that this is possible, and break through the cynicism that might hold us back, nothing beats case examples from real life. This book shares fourteen stories of people and organizations who chose to leave the beaten path. I hope it will give you inspiration and guidance if you feel called to create your own path to a more life-giving future for humanity.
