Our Mission and Vision

Mission: Unleashing human potential to transform the world through bold action.

Vision: Empower. Unite. Thrive!

Our Approach

Our Approach: A Movement from the Inside Out

We believe that true, lasting change begins with the individual. Our approach is to build a WholeOcracy—a culture where every voice is heard, valued, and has a seat at the table. We create a space where people can tap into their deepest mission and passion, and then connect the best of who they are to their organizations and communities.

This is a movement that grows from the inside out. We don't just teach theory; we provide a replicable "playbook" and the hands-on tools to turn purpose into practice. As we grow our brand through collaboration, the excellence and quality of our collective outcomes increase in tandem with who we are and how we stand in the world.

Our Core Programs Embody This Approach:

The "Just Ask Why" Curriculum: The "heart" of our work. This is where we guide leaders to discover their "Why," building a foundation of purpose that drives every action.
The Fuel Agile Systems (FAS) Track: The "hands" of our work. Here, purpose-driven leaders apply their vision to real-world challenges, co-creating tangible solutions like the DMV Digital Wallet and building the future of government service.

Our Guiding Lights: Transformation through bold action!

One World Institute: Building the Future of California, Together

At One World Institute, our vision is a thriving world built on values-based leadership—a WholeOCRACY. We believe that government and community fortify each other. Our mission is not just to teach, but to build a replicable "playbook" for change, creating a self-sustaining engine for innovation. This year, we invite you to be a part of that legacy.

The "Me, You, Us" Cohort 2025: A System of Systems

This is more than a series of courses; it's a call to action. The "Me, You, Us" 2025 Cohort is a journey to the heart of public service innovation, designed as a true "system of systems." We strategically link the "human system" (your purpose, your "Why") with the "technology system" (the tools to build the future) to empower a new generation of leaders. Join us to be part of a movement that is building a California for all.

Day of Innovation (December 4, 2025)

Join us as we celebrate the "Me, You, Us" cohort and prove what’s possible when government and community unite as one "system of systems." This is more than a showcase; it's a demonstration of a WholeOcracy in action, boldly uniting all. We begin with The Heart of Hope & Redemption, where, in partnership with the Center of Praise, we champion stories that unite and heal. Through a powerful memoir and soul-feeding music, we build a community of hope, proving every voice has the power to inspire. You will then see purpose turned into practice, as "Just Ask Why" leaders use the Fuel Agile Systems' Digital Resume to forge a new, responsive government—a landmark pilot designed to scale from California to the country.
