Overview
00:39- About Kim Polman
- Kim Polman was born in the United States but considers herself a citizen of the world whilst she currently resides in London, UK.
- She has been an environmentalist for many decades.
- The Golden Rule has always been significant to her, which is why she co-curated the book called Imaginal Cells: Visions of Transformation, a collection of essays from thought leaders and change agents, and established Reboot the Future Foundation.
01:24- Being an Environmentalist
- I was always very close to nature.
- I did not become a scientist or an activist or a politician.
- I am just a regular person who has always cared about the environment.
03:32- How does caring about nature translate to co-curating the book, Imaginary Cells?
- My co-author had a magazine and wanted to make a book format for interviewing people about leadership.
- I proposed that we asked the leaders about the golden rule because they are actually living the golden rule.
- An imaginal cell is a cell that’s innate in the caterpillar that holds the vision of the butterfly.
- It’s already existing, but it’s dormant in the caterpillar and for us, that dormant cell is that we care for others. It is the golden rule.
12:17- Key activities
- We work a lot in education. We have a very strong program.
- A website called global dimension and that’s a resource for teachers to tap into that.
- It’s a platform for all kinds of educational materials that different organizations produce.
19:40- Recognizing Imaginal People
- They are generous in their hearts.
- They care deeply.
- They are trying to find solutions to these problems.
- They’re not seeking self-glory or money for themselves.
- They are not arrogant and work in collaboration with others.
