Because of "Alba’s Sustainable Encounters" the voices of observant changemakers can now be heard. Changemakers who are not necessarily famous, but those who are quietly taking initiatives to improve their communities and the world around them. Personally, for me, the compassionate conversation with Albert Schiller, the driver behind this initiative, has been a deeply fulfilling experience-both as a corporate leader and a humanist. I firmly believe that in this AI-driven world conversations around empathy and personal intelligence is the need of the hour.
