A Global View Can Create Enlightenment

by Doug Bruhnke

Through our continued support of our “global tribe” of members worldwide, there are several key factors about them that shine through about their capabilities and success.

Members of our global tribe are globally minded and “enlightened,” meaning they have developed advanced business and leadership capabilities, with a more informed view of the world overall. Are you looking to be a better leader? If you’re a member, let’s connect you with more members. If you’re not a member, join today.

Our member companies almost always have executives who have moved past surviving in business to the stage of thriving at a higher level. They are smart, capable, flexible, resilient and, as I’ve sometimes said, “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound” (i.e., Super Woman or Superman). They are respectful, thoughtful and aware of the thoughts and feelings of others, not just their own situation. They have “been there, done that” — and have evolved to a higher plane of performance.

They tend to be good listeners, time managers and leaders. They seek self-improvement and continued growth for themselves and their business. They are also often involved in supporting their
surrounding community as well. These areas are integral in our ongoing soft skills development that we touch on through League of Extraordinaries, Export Circles, globinars and regular events in chapters around the world. We’re also building soft skills training for members and their teams available in 2020.

We’re not political but we do advocate with politicians to support lower tariffs and lower trade barriers, along with encouraging their constituents to seek foreign direct investment and exports. We’re always working toward making it easier to do business everywhere, and with companies anywhere. And while we believe in “warm introductions” and leveraging connections, we believe in transparent and honest relationships, without corruption. Trade is easier with open and honest companies when corruption is decreased.

Let us know if you’d like to get involved with Global Chamber or any of the enlightened leadership initiatives that we’ve started and are planning. We’ve only just begun … because we’re global and UNSTOPPABLE!
