What a lovely parallel - thank you, Jesús ☺️ People have pointed to that resonance before, and I can feel why. I don’t know her work in depth, but perhaps it’s time I did.
As far as I understand it, where Steward Field adds a nuance is the developmental dimension and the focus on wealth holders as leverage point for a thriving world: Who the steward is becoming on the inside shapes what becomes possible with capital on the outside. Because wealth amplifies the consciousness of the steward. The field of life and the steward of wealth in mutual co-evolution.
What brought me here? It was your smile, your sincerity, and your struggle to activate a coveted and protected source of energy... wealth.
I've lived on the other side of the equation for four decades in different roles ..as a executive director of international non-profit, "capital raiser", social entrepreneur, author, consultant. I always represented the Visionary concept, game-changing Insight, translation of values into consistent action, and redefining success from traditional profit to caring for all stakeholders. I was faced and still am with the question "how to open the hearts of those that are wealthy to activate the energy of money to solve problems, make a difference and change the world". I've traveled 50 plus countries. Raised millions of dollars. Still transitionong from "begging for support" to aligning hearts and minds to investing in transformation.
How do we make Capital more alive? It's clearly raising the consciousness of those who are endowed with wealth to : challenge their assumptions, expand their circle of care, open up new possibilities, and see around corners that they haven't been able to see before for solutions.
In our current world we've been given access to a superpower that changes the equation and the possibilities for developing world-transforming solutions. Artificial intelligence needs to be unlocked from a tool transactional tool for making companies more effective, more productive with faster solutions to using AI as a transformation catalyst to reimagine business, reframe leadership and redefine business success.
AI allows us to move from a decision-making world where we can analyze four to seven variables to a world where we can gather data globally and analyze 30 to 50 impacts of all stakeholders simultaneously to anticipate the future and develop foresight for new solutions to previously intractable challenges.
This is an expansion of our human cognitive limitation, gaining Foresight to anticipate impacts and develop solutions that honor the needs of multiple stakeholders is truly transformational ! Applying AI as a" thinking partner" may be the fire to activate wealth strewards to expand their sight from incremental improvements to catalytic solutions.
Amazing! My question is why don’t we wake up! This is the in the ground front line change that we need in order to evolve our collective consciousness and change the world! Breaking barriers where it matters most! Love love love!
Thank you, Ruy! This means a lot. And your question is the one, isn’t it? I’ve been sitting with it for twenty years. What I keep finding is that waking up isn’t one moment, but it’s a practice, a choice, made again and again. Which is both the hard news and the good news. So glad you’re here ☺️
A special heartfelt gratitude to those who have been helping me birth this idea into reality, who helped with crucial and valuable feedback, inputs, inspiration, kinship, encouragement, engagement and care. I’d like to mention specifically: Karen Kimsey-House, Robert (Bob) J. Anderson, Jason Jay, Kirsten Andersen, Falko Paetzold, Sebastian Klein, Anastasia Linn, Charly Kleissner, Hanson Gong, Claudia Garuti, Tim Freundlich, Victoria Engelhorn, Anna Tervahartiala, Indy Johar, Bridget Kustin, Charles van de Kerkhof, Guillem Vallbona Iborra, and holding the wider field Daniel Almagor, Alexa Firmenich, Joshua Context Kauffman, Onur Eren, Özlem Eren, Risto Väyrynen, Adela VILLANUEVA, Jenaan Lilani, Andrew Bryson, Alexis du Roy de Blicquy, Marina Feffer, Sid Efromovich, Tharald Nustad, Stef Dongen, van, Amy Brakeman, Alexandra Korijn, Nipun Mehta, Sook Yee Tai, Alice Ong, Luis Alvarado Martinez, Saurabh Gaidhani, Arawana Hayashi, Dori Ben-Chanoch, Daniel Poch-Executive Coaching, Xavier Garcia-Weibel and always my mum Verena Grünig❣️
For years, I’ve been the bellows - the one who blows air into the life spark I believe lives in every being and every relationship, nurturing it into an eternal flame that illuminates and uplifts. I’ve done this work with wealth holders specifically, because the leverage point isn’t the portfolio. It’s the person and the family holding it. And wealth is just an amplifier of their inner fire.
But at some point I had to ask: What does it take to more fully nurture and share my own fire?
That question is what brought me here.
Jane Goodall would have turned 92 today. When she died, I grieved like you grieve a grandmother. She has been a hero to my mother and to me since I was a child - that kind of hero who shapes who you become. And watching her life in its entirety, I saw what she did that I had never quite let myself do: She spoke from the heart, in public, about what truly matters. I finally understood something. Jane Goodall shared her fire by giving it a talking stick.
So that’s what Steward Field is. My talking stick.
I’ll be writing about the inner life of wealth stewardship - the human, relational, and developmental dimensions that shape how capital moves in the world. What I’ve known in the room for twenty years and am only now bringing to the page. This is my thinking - not my clients’ stories.
One small thing: If you click “listen to this post,” you’ll hear my own voice. Not an AI voice. That felt important.
The first proper article - on the inner work of systemic investing - is coming next week.
I love this, and I love the voiceover. Please recognize too that there are a number of us who been working on the relational front from different fields, including trauma and psychology practice, bridging with business sectors. I’m very excited about what is evolving…!!
It seems that the 'Steward Field' is a kind of 'Warm Data' ;-)

Hi Ira! Thanks for being here! Agreed on raising the consciousness of those who are endowed with wealth as the key leverage point.

All my work is relational and alive.
For years, I’ve been the bellows - the one who blows air into the life spark I believe lives in every being and every relationship, nurturing it into an eternal flame that illuminates and uplifts.
