3. Why Leap into Life?
On a global scale the challenges we face
today cannot sufficiently be resolved
with solutions that worked in the
past
On national, local and
community/company level is a
growing need for healthy
development of the (working)
community
Individuals standing up to take action in
their local setting , (company-
community) need to connect and
exchange to increase capacity and
personal mastery
