Reflections and Pathways from BLESS 2024

Insights from our journey to reimagine leadership and economy. ​

The Problem We Are Addressing

  1. Indonesia’s economic growth has long relied on extractive industries and large-scale monoculture models that have strained ecological balance and long-term resilience. But there’s a growing shift toward economic models that nurture relationships, respect life, and operate in harmony with people and nature. At the heart of this shift are the individuals behind the system. Their decisions, values, and way of showing up guide how change happens.

 

Still, many leaders face constraints between urgent demands and deeper values, often feeling disconnected from their purpose, their communities, and even themselves. When those carrying the weight of change begin to lose their footing, the systems they work within can drift without direction. This is where BLESS takes root. With a focus on emotional resilience and interconnection, BLESS supports leaders to move with clarity, compassion, and care. We believe transformative change grows through those who remain connected to what matters most, from self-care to collective care.

Our Approach to Shifting Systems

To build an economy that serves both humans and nature, we must realign the systems that shape our future — from government and markets by leveraging the power of public narratives and knowledge flows.

BLESS works to influence these systems by building bridges, creating evidence, and supporting transformation from within because systemic change doesn’t happen in silos.

How We Energize Leaders: Breathe. Connect. Amplify.

We believe that leaders are the key to systemic change, but they need space, clarity, and community to thrive. That’s why we create spaces that re-energize them through breath, connection, and amplification.

 

The leaders we energize move within governments and markets, fueled by the momentum of public narratives and the flow of shared knowledge.
