Mutual Support can create magic if we help each other living up to our potential – as individuals, collaborative groups, initiatives, organizations, or even countries. Acknowledging each persons and each stakeholder’s potential to contribute to impact empowers and strengthens delivery capacity. This leads to the realization that our contribution becomes more successful if other people’s contributions are also delivered with high quality. When we begin to empower others, we notice that mutual support is serving us, the other - and the larger impact.

Contribution is an orientation towards positive impact that seeks tangible results. It means being inspired by purpose and meaning, while shifting from the questions “What is in it for us?” to the questions “How can we best contribute?”. The passion to contribute creates energy because it focuses attention. It organizes life, creates order in our collaboration journey, and attracts people and opportunities. If we gain clarity in what way we can contribute to a situation or more broadly to a sustainable world with our skills, assets, competencies and resources, we gain the strength to follow through.
