We have healthy soil and regenerative food systems for all.
Opportunities and wealth are equally distributed.
We now have a global economy that is radically inclusive.
These visions of an inclusive and regenerative future — shared by leaders and collaborators in the Certified B Corporation community — bubbled up during the opening session at Champions Retreat 2022. Dr. Tiffany Jana of B Corp TMI Consulting Inc. led the visionary exercise and then urged B Corp leaders to align their work with the ideas they voiced for a better tomorrow.
To make this future vision a reality, B Corp leaders are working today to “lead with love” as they build the right strategy and team for impact-driven businesses, and to see and respond to the human needs of individuals and organizations as they implement change. Through their daily work, B Corps and other impact-minded organizations are shaping a stakeholder economy that creates benefit for all people and the planet.

How to Build an Impact-Driven Business with Care
After hearing numerous entrepreneurs and business leaders say that “one bottom line is hard enough,” Maria Kingery of B Corp Southern Energy Management realized other businesses could benefit from her experience and her mantra to “lead with love.” A new Inside Impact podcast from B Corp Unity Web Agency highlights Kingery’s new venture, 360 Impact, where she guides entrepreneurial leaders in building their strategy and team to pursue their vision in a caring, sustainable, and impact-driven way.
Can a Bot Do Our Work Better Than Us?
The growing emergence of AI, or artificial intelligence, in the business sphere has some leaders wondering whether a bot could replace their years of experience on the job. To investigate that question, a team member at B Corp Trebuchet Group asked ChatGPT to write a blog post on “How to be a leader that ChatGPT can’t replace.” Discover the result on B The Change.
