The leadership landscape is evolving. Beyond profits, performance, and portfolio size, today’s executives are increasingly being asked a powerful question: What are you doing for humanity? The most effective CEOs of the future won’t just lead companies—they will inspire movements. They will be those who are courageous enough to lead from within, conscious enough to prioritize people over process, and visionary enough to understand that the true currency of business is impact.
This is at the heart of Ignite Humanity™, a global movement founded by visionary entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian Lady JB Owen. Built on the belief that transformation starts with personal responsibility and expands outward through purposeful action, Ignite Humanity™ encourages leaders to see their influence as a potential force for healing, elevation, and hope.
The 7 Humanity Principles™ by Lady JB Owen
- Raise the Consciousness of What is Possible
Anything and everything may be possible when we come together to elevate the planet’s consciousness and teach people that they can achieve what they dream of. - Unite All People and Connect Everyone
Every individual deserves to feel like they belong. Unity can come from being seen, heard, and valued—both in the workplace and the world. - Instill True Happiness and Inner Peace
By nurturing balance in all areas—mental, physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual—we can create space for sustainable happiness and peace. - Foster Positive Expansion and Loving Evolution
Positive change begins with expanding our mindset and beliefs about what’s possible for ourselves, our teams, and our planet. - Empower Others to Empower Themselves
Leaders who inspire others to lead can create unstoppable momentum. Empowerment often multiplies when it’s passed on. - Live Authentically and With Genuine Integrity
Authentic leadership, rooted in integrity, builds trust, loyalty, and the foundation for meaningful impact. - Give First and Offer All You Can
The most influential leaders are those who give without expecting anything in return. Generosity is the seed of a giving culture—and a thriving world.
These principles, authored by Lady JB Owen, offer CEOs a roadmap not only to potentially transform their leadership but to leave a legacy that may light the way for others.
As business leaders sit at the helm of decision-making power, they also sit at a turning point. Every hiring decision, product launch, partnership, and policy is an opportunity to either elevate humanity or extract from it.
Movements like Ignite Humanity™ are encouraging CEOs to expand beyond quarterly goals and move toward a vision of a multi-generational legacy. This includes Lady JB Owen’s goal to build 10,000 Inspiration Classrooms™—eco-friendly, solar-powered schools in underserved regions across the world, providing literacy, leadership, and a place where every child can learn to believe in what’s possible.
These classrooms may represent more than charity—they could represent a new business model rooted in purpose.
Gatherama 2025 served as a living demonstration of what the principles of Ignite Humanity™ may look like in action. Held in Salt Lake City, the event brought together visionaries, authors, CEOs, and thought leaders from around the world. The conference served not only as a platform for personal growth but also as a collaborative hub for creating global impact.
A standout moment of the event was the Pink & Precious Gala and its moving tribute: Heels That Heal. Guests wore pink shoes as a visual commitment to empowerment, equality, and taking a stand for global literacy. It was not just fashion—it was a movement in motion.
The gala, alongside performances by artists like The Heels, served as a rallying cry. With each speech and song, attendees were reminded that making an impact starts by simply standing up and stepping forward—together.
Ignite Humanity™ continues to be a beacon for those seeking more than just financial success. It represents the collective awakening of leaders who may be ready to drive change, build legacies, and heal the world—one action, one principle, and one empowered person at a time.
The next era of business belongs to those who understand that leadership is not just about being in charge, it’s about being in service to people, to progress, and to the planet.
The world doesn’t need more powerful corporations. It may need more powerful humans inside them.
Lady JB Owen’s 7 Humanity Principles™ offer a timely, timeless call to action: Work on yourself. Elevate those around you. Lead with heart. And always, ignite humanity.
