Reviews

Michele Hunt is the ultimate DreamMaker. Her inspiring book is a 'beacon of hope' for all of us. Her stories give us great comfort that there are remarkable people among us who are leaving 'no stone unturned' and meeting whatever challenges they face to make this a better world for all of us. --Joseph M. Brodecki, Principal, Bernstein Global Wealth Management; Presidential (of the United States) appointee to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Council How Michele Hunt can find so many wonderful innovations for the common good, I don't know. Her book about the people who are changing things for the better will uplift your spirit. --Max De Pree, Former Chairman and CEO of Herman Miller, Inc.; author of 'Leadership is an Art' Michele shares the journeys of leaders, entrepreneurs, and communities who fearlessly dream a positive future for humankind and the planet. These inspiring people have committed their lives in service to making that beautiful dream come true. This book is about hope. It invites us all to look inside our hearts and discover our unique spirit of DreamMaking, and put that force to work to help create a flourishing world. --Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO of The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute; Editor-in-Chief of 'Leader to Leader' Journal; US Presidential Medal of Freedom This extraordinary narrative of doing well by doing good, brought to life through intimate stories and the author's incisive commentary, reminds us of the possibility that we each have to create a desired future - one in which people thrive, businesses prosper, and the planet flourishes. Through this book you will meet the people next door who are changing the world for the better, many of them in the face of great adversity. Michele Hunt writes with the insight and pragmatism gained from a life well lived. --Chris Laszlo, Chair and Chuck Fowler Professor of Business as an Agent of World Benefit, Department of Organizational Behavior, The Weatherhead School of Management; Faculty Executive Director, The Fowler Center, Case Western Reserve University Another amazing book by an amazing author, which is a must-read for all that are concerned about the future, and the future of our society and the future of our children.

If you care, if you want to be touched and join the dreamers in action, read this book. --Simon L. Dolan, Professor, ESADE Future of Work Chair & President of the Board of Trustees - Global Future of Work Foundation It is the great irony of our day that, in a world where more and more people know that the future will look very different from the past, the most visible stories of the present seem more and more driven by desperate, fear-driven efforts to return to the past. In a time when it is easy to set aside hope as na ve, Michele Hunt reminds us that all change starts with protecting that small spark of possibility and then takes us on a tour of amazing fire protectors around the world. -- (03/02/2017) DreamMakers not only inspires you to realize the greater good that only you can do, but shows how to get it done.
