How do we change the ever-popular question of “What do you do?” to “How do you want to BE in this world?”
Chapter Be is exploring these questions through The Be Stories – a pilot project documenting people’s individual paths to being. I will be at various events and visiting organizations, where participants can sit with me for a five minute interview about whatever it is that they choose to write on the BE Board. These stories will be documented on this page and on social media via #theBEstories.
The more we share our BE intentions with others, the more likely we are to live them!
