Akaya Windwood facilitates transformation. She advises, trains, and consults on how change happens individually, organizationally, and societally. She is on faculty for the Just Economy Institute and is founder of the New Universal, which centers human wisdom in the wisdom of brown womxn. She was President of Rockwood Leadership Institute for many years and directs the Growing Roots Fund, which supports young womxn’s finance and philanthropic learning and leadership based in generosity and interconnectedness. Akaya is deeply committed to working for a fair and equitable global society while infusing a sense of purpose, delight, and wonder into everything we do. 

She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• The notion of individualistic leadership being a “toxic myth” and that we can’t create change alone
• That aging brings a certain responsibility, to mentor the next generations of leaders and assume that power of eldership
• That acknowledging our individual calling and attending to our particular work will reduce overwhelm as our communities work together on issues
