“This is a beautiful and practical book filled with examples on regenerative leadership and how to live the 7th generation principle.”
Helle Bank Jorgensen, CEO Competent Boards
“Regenerative means ‘’ life affirming’’, a system which generates thriving life. Mary Garden shows how the same regenerative principles can be applied both to an ecological system, such as a farm, and to a human system, such as a business or an organization. Under regenerative management, both generate abundance, resilience and thriving life.”
Ananda Fitzsimmons, Board Chair, Regeneration Canada
