The Power of Accelerating Women Entrepreneurs® (“AWE”®)
Matrix of Peace Systems, Inc. believes women entrepreneurs are key change makers to bringing whole systems peacebuilding to life. Our Accelerating Women Entrepreneurs program supports them in receiving personal consciousness work, training in our peacebuilding technology–the Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model–and helping them expand their businesses, personal reach, and leadership through our fellowships. We have fellowships operating in Israel and the West Bank. We also incubate the important fellowship program of Shakti Leadership.
Our pilot program working with women entrepreneurs was launched in Israel and the West Bank strengthened our conviction that ordinary people can make their own communities more peaceful and prosperous.
Networking & Education
Matrix of Peace Systems, Inc. brings together business leaders, activists and policy makers at the highest levels of the private, civil society, and public sectors, and engages them in interactive workshops using breakthrough technology and positively disruptive thinking to solve the world’s most challenging problems.
The Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model™ is a positively disruptive, pioneering technology for designing peaceful and prosperous communities
The Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model is a highly researched theoretical model, sourced from the work of generations of thought leaders from both the classical liberal tradition and the human potential movement. It is the goal of Peace Through Commerce to bring these two forces–classical liberalism and the human potential movement–together to inform the public and peacebuilders of the values, beliefs, practices, and lessons learned that most optimally generate sustainable peace. The Model identifies peace-optimizing values and beliefs. It also identifies a body of best practices, tools and data to aid the practitioner in using it.
We have developed and showcased the Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model with partners around the world such as the Nobel Peace Prize Forum Oslo, Business For Peace, Conscious Capitalism, Inc., women entrepreneurs in Israel and the West Bank engaged in our Accelerating Women Entrepreneurs program, and women in our incubator Shakti Leadership Fellowship Program.
