Why radical generosity is the solution to inequality.
According to Vicki Saunders, the world we live in is made up—the rules and outdated systems that no longer serve the future we need. While it feels like everything is broken and stuck in the 1.0 version, it’s also an opportunity invent new models that replace the old, to practice leadership that is inclusive and radically generous.
In this talk, Vicki shares her thoughts on equality and showcases the work she’s doing with her company, SheEO, a global community of women radically transforming how we finance, support, and celebrate female innovators.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
If you were surrounded by radically generous people, how would you act differently? How would you think differently?
When I get a crusty email, I stop myself for a moment and I'm like, 'What's the most radically generous response?'
We made all of this up. And we can change it. Everything around you is made up. And we weren't so good at version 1.0; we need to get to the next one.
What do you wake up wanting to change? We so desperately need you. We need your ideas, we need your leadership out there to get us to a better world.
I look around and think everything is broken, but as an entrepreneur I realize... what a great time to be alive.
