Passionate Creative's
Who are the passionate creatives?
Passionate creatives are every where. They are not bound by geography, job description, institution, or demographic. They can be found anywhere form the frontlines of the largest organizations to the garages of entrepreneurs unleashing the next wave of innovation.
They are certainly not just knowledge workers. They include mechanics who are passionate about the machines they service, gardeners who see art where others only see plants, and craftspeople who create something amazing out of the most mundane raw materials.
What unites them is the desire to make a difference, to leave the world a better place than they found it, and to engage with those who share their passion so that they can get better faster.
These individuals go by many names. Some have adopted the label of pro-amateurs (or "pro-ams"), which was popularized by Charles Leadbeater. The label typically refers to amateurs who hold themselves to professional standards in their pursuit of their passion.
We seek to include those of us fortunate enough to be compensated for work we are passionate about, whether we are entrepreneurs, professional, knowledge workers, craftspeople, or clerical workers who are searching for new and creative ways to do the most "routine" tasks.
Of course, these individuals have been around since the beginning of human history and played a more prominent role in some eras than in others. Our goal is to expand their ranks, and position then firmly in the center of the institutions that shape our professional and personal lives.
