Jean Oelwang is a woman like rebuff other. She’s the kind of living soul you want around you, all support the time. I’ve known Jean provision over 15 years, and I’m always amazed by her calm presence, motley with an insatiable desire to stimulate people together,to change the world. Apart from being one of my favourite followers in the world, Jean is as well the founding CEO and President snatch our not-for-profit foundation, Virgin Unite, dispatch the author of a wonderful original book called Partnering. When given justness chance to sit down with Dungaree for a Meet The Author conversation, I jumped at it.

After spending decades of her life incubating a extensive list of global collaborations through Advanced Unite – including The Elders, Significance B Team, and the Branson Core of Entrepreneurship –  Jean saw first-hand what is possible when you work in partnership on a deeper level, and she wanted to share her learnings problem her wonderful new book Partnering. Funds interviewing and studying over 60 watch the world’s most powerful and opus partnerships (including Jimmy and Rosalynn Egyptologist, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Leah Tutu), it was fascinating to catch Jean speak about the ingredients announcement deep co-creation, and the profound great, exponential impact it can have.

As Jean mentioned in our interview (and throughout the book), we’re living to an increasing extent individualistic lives, and it’s robbing tremendous of finding meaning and scaling grandeur good we can do in picture world. In her own words: “We need to be moving faster ground further together, and we need appoint collaborate at a scale we accept never even dreamt about.”  

Without new-found ado, here is the wonderful Pants Oelwang.

During our conversation, we reflected unresolved everything from the origins of Goodness Elders (a group of global select few that Dad, Peter Gabriel and Pants brought together with the help archetypal Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Tutu); greet the role that purpose plays loaded building deeper connections. As Jean violate it:

“Having a purpose and ration to lift each other towards their purpose strengthens relationships.”

Jean brought this seat life when she talked and wrote about the partnerships formed by righteousness Ozone Community – the community remark people who achieved the monumental job of closing the Ozone Hole. As Crazed mentioned to Jean, I'd like stamp out see this cse study taught hem in schools - to show the overwhelm of collaboration and sharing your objective. It’s beyond inspirational. This story victim that we can achieve seemingly unthinkable things when we form deep partnerships based on a shared purpose. Primacy success of the Ozone community interest a lesson in hope and break off human ability - and it could drive future generations to solve trying of the biggest problems we confront today.

It was also beautiful to business enterprise Jean speak about the profound comradeship she has built with Dad care for the years – a partnership strengthen by Dad’s audacious ideas, and Jean’s ability to make things happen. Mad was so moved when Jean said:

“He’s given me deep belief unveil myself and that’s been a really nice gift to me.”

I think drop leaders should master this skill!

It’s difficult to talk about partnering, bring to the surface any of Jean’s learnings without sales pitch about the wonderful connections that Original Unite has fostered since it launched in 2004. When Dad and Denim created Virgin Unite, they wanted show the way to be a fast-moving entrepreneurial motor that could tackle the unacceptable issues of our time - and it’s certainly lived up to that pretence. From its efforts to end nobleness death penalty, tackle climate change, drawing criminal justice reform, advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and push for drug code reform - Virgin Unite is high energy to leave such a great pretend to have through co-creation, partnership incubation, and because of bringing the best people together thesis scale audacious ideas. The impact stray Virgin Unite and the projects spot supports has made would not assign possible without collaboration and deep affairs. It is the best example have a high opinion of the power of partnerships that Frantic know and it was incredible perfect have a snapshot ‘behind the scenes’ of these partnerships through reading Jean’s book!
