What Your Colleagues Are Saying
Reflections from past conference attendees
“I've never been to a business conference where I was so personally inspired.
The integrity and resumes of the presenters were very impressive. This
was a great introduction to Pegasus for me.”
— 2008 Conference Participant, Manager, Automobile/Aerospace
“The tone of the conference invited risk taking, with sessions that helped
one realize how important self learning and self knowledge are to
being a good leader. It was encouraging to work with others who were
realistic about the current situation in the world, but not overwhelmed..”
— 2008 Conference Participant, Manager, Quality, Education
“The Pegasus Conference is a mirror of a possible reality for the world
that feeds me inside and keeps me going.”
— Sara Pinto Wilson, Consultant and Community Activist
“I believe the knowledge and confidence gained at this conference will
allow me to further the cause of applying systemic solutions to difficult
urban problems and avoiding quick fix and political solutions that only
deepen the complex challenges that we face.”
— Chief Edward F. Cronin, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Police Department
“We attended the Pegasus Conference with our executive cabinet
and a number of leaders from around the state who are undergoing
a process that we call ‘Futures.’ Our debrief on the last day of
the conference was extremely positive and the energy was around doing.”
— Lynn Cavall, Florida Education Association
“What impresses me is Pegasus’s capacity to respond to emerging themes
and issues in the world…‘What if?’ and ‘Why not?’ are the questions I take
with me each time!”
— Tricia Szirom, Success Works
“The Pegasus Conference provides fertile ground for people from around
the globe to come together and embrace the challenge of new ways to lead,
share learnings, tools and insights. I left with a profound feeling for
the potential that is reshaping corporate thinking— bringing it to a new
level whereby employees, shareholders, customers, partners and the planet
can all win. Pegasus deepened my leadership journey.”
— Gerard Harkin, Philips Lighting
“I have found my people! Because of my previous mental models about how
one applies principles and tools, I couldn't 'get' how to use Systems Thinking.
I kept looking at it as a ‘solution generator,’ instead of a way of describing
an issue and a way of investing in trust—trust that those talking about
the issue together can find a solution. There is no silver bullet, but there
is a silver lining—working together, we can accomplish amazing things!”
— Peg Carlson-Bowen, Conference Participant
“I always have such appreciation for Pegasus’s craftsmanship in putting
together this event. You can create this space only when you’re trying to
live in a certain way on an ongoing basis. A real hallmark is that people
who are here for the first time feel very much welcomed and included just
as if they had been here for half a dozen previous times. And I think that’s
really special.”
— Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline and founding chair
of SoL
“Two things make this conference different from others. One is that when
you come to the conference you are alone, and the moment the conference
starts, you are part of the community. That makes a difference. And the
other is that every session I go to I take one or more crucial insights
out and those insights, for me, are the deliverables of the conference.”
— Rob Schaerlaeckens, Unilever Bestfoods, Vietnam
