Annabel Membrillo
I have met many people thinking, feeling and acting differently. They are following new rules, new ways to connect themselves and with others, new ways to live and to be at service of life. I am witnessing this transformation in the world knowing that there is still a lot to do. But also with certainty that the ground is ready, and the tipping point of the shift of consciousness is getting closer, and every one of us needs to be open to “listen” to the call. Being a co-conspirator for this evolution, naming “movements”, connecting kindred spirits, nourish global communities is an important process for this shift that is part of my life contribution and commitment. Annabel´s gifts at a glance: For the last 25 years she has been a co-conspirator for systemic transformation and collaborative strategy processes with a wide variety of organizations (business, not-for-profit, government, communities). Learning together, exploring new ways and agreements, designing organizations and networks structures, co-host deep change processes, integrating tools, methodologies and processes are part of the ways she supports strategy and collaboration and collective transformation journeys. She also focuses on formal exploration and descriptive research on collaborative networks and how deep aspirations for evolution manifest in the world. She also facilitated dialogs, in small and large groups, that are focused on generating strong communities. One of her most recent passions is the design of learning journeys that support individuals to find and reach their potential of being transformative leaders (curricula design).
