Engage Others.
7. Learning is only part of the process; it all comes
together when we share new information and
understanding with family, friends, colleagues,
and others. “Learn and share” is the mantra of the
sea change agent. At every stage of your growing
understanding, concern, and commitment, make
sure you bring along at least one other person.
Learning and sharing deepens confidence, provides
confirmation, and generates the energy to take the
next step.
8. Become a voice of clarity: Learn and share cutting-
edge information about the 21st century sea change.
Become a source of hope: Seek out and share
evidence of values and behaviors that are really
changing for the better.
- Learn what to watch for...watch and pass it on.
- Become an amateur expert in one area of new wave value shift (identify, absorb, pass it on).
- Join the “Sea Change Blog Discussion” (underway by October 1, 2010, at www.seachanges.net).
9. Recruit a partner or two or three...or open up a
network to share information, inspiration, and
ideas for cooperative common action.
- Use your Facebook or Twitter account to build a conversation. Watch it grow into a network.
10. Draw on your developing social network to
create a modest action group, whose members
might resolve to take and share one exemplary
step each month. For example:
- Volunteer in a neighborhood cleanup.
- Work in a food pantry.
- Start a letter-writing campaign for human rights.
