Jane Goodall
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Jane Goodall is The Visionary because her life's work as a primatologist and conservationist has always operated on horizons longer than any institution's planning cycle. She leads by reframing how people see the natural world and their obligations within it, converting scientific insight into moral imagination. Her appearance on The David Rubenstein Show underscores the archetype, a figure whose authority rests on seeing further, and insisting others look too.
“I truly feel that I was put on this planet with a mission, and right now the mission is to give people hope, because if you don't have hope, you give up, become apathetic and do nothing, and then we're doomed.”
“Every single one of us makes some impact on the planet every single day, and we get to choose what impact do we make.”
“I don't know how many years I have left, but I'm lifting closer to the end, so I have to speed up because there is so much I still have to do.”
