Evolving Aspiring Social Entrepreneurs into Sustainable Conscious Leaders of Change.
Our social impact arm launched in December 2018, as our Empowered Ideation Impact Incubator (EIII), for Social Entrepreneurs to learn the Art, Science and new for 2021, the Spiritual Self-Mastery skills essential to becoming a true Global Changemaker. One who builds a sustainable and scalable “Humanity Plus” movement or business that offers a solution to a societal problem.
Participants are educated via hybrid learning (online and live hot seat coaching), to adopt the mindsets, soul-sets and inspiration derived from original Changemakers such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks & Princess Diana, to name a few.
The Education Experience caps off with Live Pitch Challenge events, aimed to unite social impact leaders from all over the world and creates opportunities for ideas to be pitched on a global stage for funding, resources, exposure and community support.

“the day i met nelson mandela, was the day the seed was planted for what would eventually be my life’s legacy. It was also the time when i learned conscious leadership concepts like: compassion, empathy, acceptance and tolerance of diversity, forgiveness, resiliency and embracing & creating rippling effects of change.”

The Beginnings of Creating Change
2001: memorial legacy lives
the seed grows … from loss sprouts life
in loving memory of our founder's father, an oxford scholar and motivational mentor to many, Our first ideation of the
global changemakers experience came in the form of the:
*University Students from both Business & Engineering Faculties applied to enter a competition presenting a creative and innovative idea enhancing positive change for society. Research proposals & pitches were reviewed for nominal grant funding.
The winning concept received the memorial scholarship at the Annual Awards Gala, presented by the Sarin Family Matriarch.
“get out there and scrape your knees & inspire someone to scrape theirs too!
then, create multiple ways to change how you’re doing it again, and again.
If you and your friends don’t come home with bloody scraped knees…you’re not fully living or serving the world.
remember to balance your life, always.
never defeat yourself in the process, serve your learned failures forward and be the light of inspiration for others. they will in turn be the light and the path towards change continues.”
~ NK SARIN (1940 - 2001)

Warren’s Story

“The Global Changemakers Experience was a program I will never forget. The actual event was similar to CNN Heroes meets Dragons Den. The entire experience was a complete leap of faith. I signed up without knowing or fully understanding what I was in for, or whom I would become because of the program and our training.
Each participant… leaders and changemakers, were led in unity with purpose and integrity, to make a real difference locally and globally.”
It was a powerful and collaborative entrepreneurial experience. The program itself was profound and intense – it stretched me to evolve to new heights. All of a sudden from every angle – even before we began, I was seriously tested in my life; emotionally, physically, mentally, and especially with time management. Similar to that of the Entrepreneur Hero’s Journey. We were being groomed to imbibe the mindsets & soulsets of those influential Social Leaders and Changemakers before us. I cannot even begin to count how many times I had to actually force myself NOT to opt out during this journey, even before the actual program started. I sensed there was going to be major time, commitment and work to be done during the program… and I was right. What made me “not give up,” and what gave me strength to keep going, was my internal wisdom of resilience and the unbelievable education and support from the GCME Team. The trust instilled that no matter what, energy is never wasted. I trusted I would do my best and whatever outcome at this moment in time will manifest is what is meant to happen. During the experience, every team leader made themselves fully available to each and every one of us. Whenever a breakdown occurred or if guidance was needed, all we had to do was ask. Through the coaching calls, workshops and group calls, we always felt guided and supported to take the next step despite feeling overwhelmed at times. I’ll never forget the lovingly concerned yet calm look on Nitasha’s face when I asked her, in my dry humorous way, as we were all rushing to the stage during the highest peak and absolute crunch time… “But Nitasha, I don’t know what to wear?!” I asked with a smirk. I was able to apply all my learned leadership tools of an Empowered Visionary Global Changemaker — including “Playful Prosperity”, which I also now share with the World. Despite the pressure and stress I choose to remain calm and bring joy to those around me that need it the most. Winning the actual event will be a moment in time I will never forget. It literally catapulted my Entrepreneurial & Public Speaking career to the next level and empowered me to continue taking massive leaps of faith with my business which resulted in 3 more inspirational public speaking awards and building powerful relationships through the Global Changemakers collaborative communities. My Movement: Walk with Warren My intention is to create a system where individuals with chronic illnesses can receive funding and support for alternative medicine treatments and coaching. These resources will be deemed helpful towards the enhancement of their healing and wellbeing, in addition to their current western medical protocols. The underlying purpose is to allow for the possibility of increasing an individual’s energy levels while living with a chronic illness in order to empower them to receive the opportunity to contribute to society with meaning, purpose and joy. After the program had ended, I had received 3 subsequent 1:1 coaching sessions from the Founder, Nitasha and the GCME Team, which provided me with the next steps going forward on identifying all unknowns and questions I had to manifest this dream into a reality. I also experienced a breakthrough in guiding me to take a step back from it all in order to build a stronger personal foundation to be able to not only handle and lead this project, but to be able to give with a full cup versus an empty one. As an entrepreneur, changemaker, leader, we may tend to take on more than we can handle and forget to take care of ourselves first (at least in my case, that has always been the story). In alignment with the GCME program values taught, I feel it is important to focus on our inner foundational work, as well as restoring integrity and “getting complete” with all areas of our lives before taking that golden leap of faith towards something that requires “all” our time, energy, health, leadership, and focus. Identify a problem. Create a solution. Believe in possibilities. Focus on my why. Those 4 statements are what inspired the ideation process. The pain we feel when we truly embody a problem that we have identified on par with the joy felt when envisioning the greatest possible outcome is that which will drive us to become a true Changemaker in our own personal lives and in society as a whole. I am grateful for the team and for the support during this journey. My movement is still in the Creation Process. Please visit to support. Thank you. – Warren Falkenstein – —— For more information and to contact Warren, WalkWithWarren.com IG: @iamWarrenF
