Elyse Go
Founder of Hand and Heart Disability Service; Cohort from Philippine S.Lab year 1
“Transformation and change begins with higher awareness. The journey of Theory U requires a depth of profound listening that make the eyes open wide and shed a very clear light on systems direction that will effectively meet the future.”
Chi-Chi Sangil
Founder of CyberGuardians Philippines. Cohort from Philippine S.Lab year 1:
“Being fully aware that there is a “Spirit” consistently moving within the person and the entire ecosystem has made me accept things as it continuously evolves, with total surrender. Hence, the practice of open mind, open heart and open will is what has moved CyberGuardiansPH from a coalition of 6 to a non-profit organization with 15 board members, 25 committed Partners and Collaborators, 40 Cybersecurity Volunteer-Trainers, 2,000 underserved youth beneficiaries and a growing youth membership.”
TJ Agulto
Executive Director AHA! Behavioral Design, TRAIL ELIAS COHORT, 2010
“Applying Theory-U has enabled me to expand my consciousness and compassion to the whole systems that I seek to influence. Theory U does more for me – the change enabler, than to the system that I seek to act in, by making sure that the “I” does not get in the way of what the collective wisdom of the system seeks to give birth through my work. Because of this unison with the natural flow of the Future of the system that seeks to emerge, my action and influence on the system is elevated by Theory U to an authentic and pure form of service. Theory U transforms any change enabler’s initiative in a system to a true form of Service.”
