About Leon 王立中 Wang

Hello World! I am a connector and facilitator that is creating conduits🧵 toward (b)righter futures. Right now, my doings center exploration, transformation, and impact that lead us to being in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and this planetary home we call Earth. Core Competencies: Life-Centered Design, Nature-Inspired Creativity, Emerging Technologies, Justice|Equity|Diversity|Inclusion (JEDI).I align beautifully with people who share this intention as well as a desire to shift our dreaming, knowing, being and doing in this world to be more people positive, complexity conscious and life liberating. In a nutshell I am all about (auto)catalyzing others through connection, community, and cultivation. My superpower(s) is(are): I FAIL (see below) bravely and successively. And I do so with grace and intention to evolve, such that it is always a lesson and never a failure.Superpower #1 IdeationI am always fascinated by ideas and am able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.Superpower #2 FuturisticI am inspired by the future (near and far) and what could be. I energize others with my evocative visions of (b)righter futures.Superpower #3 Arranger I organize and orchestrate with a flexibility that complements this ability. I love determining how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for optimal impact.Superpower #4 IndividualizationI am intrigued with the unique qualities of each individual life and I have a gift for figuring out how different beings can work together effectively and align within greater intention(s).Superpower #5 LearnerI have a deep desire to learn and continuously improve. The evolving process of learning, rather than the distinct outcome, excites me endlessly.As an (Auto)Catalyzing Connector, I take on many hats from storytelling and deducing inspiration and principles from nature to aligning intentions and optimizing interdisciplinary communications. I thrive in navigating the interstitial and intersectional spaces between diverse inputs and experts.As an Exploration Facilitator 🧭, I stimulate new thinking by identifying gaps, surfacing beautiful questions, challenging the current paradigms, inviting curiosity, nurturing emergence, and speculating provocative futures. I am an advocate for the power of play in community - manifesting and holding spaces for embodied exploration that will shape us as individuals and bring delight to transforming our world together. I hold gratitude and awe for you, us all, and our spaceship, Earth.
