Des vies à mener: Leaders dans l'âme

A fantastic documentary series! Each of the 7 people were least expected to get beyond their foundational lives, yet they did. With great passion to help make a better world for everyone, they achieved greatness. Greatness that would have gone under the radar until some future historial wrote about them ~ but for the leadership of the producers. It is a reminder to everyone, to stop focusing on being negative & turn to be more positive despite the obstacles. Starting with our own families, neighbors, co-workers, etc. ~ whoever they may be. Their message was simple: KINDNESS BEGETS KINDNESS & GOODNESS.

There are truly remarkable interviewees in this series who deserve well-researched individual documentaries each. However, the target audience for this must be the 15 - 18 year old demographic or those with short attention spans who would never sit through something like that. Many if not all of the interviews were taped 3 years ago and well before Harry and Megan had anything to do with this project from the Mandela Foundation. Shame on Netflix for trying to pass this off as being engineered by the Sussexes, it takes away from the credibility and makes the Mandela Foundation feel absolutely used for the fame gain of the Sussexes who did very little work on this. The first the Prime Minister of New Zealand new of their involvement was when she saw the trailer. I wonder how many of them would have wanted to be involved if they knew up front...

I've watched and been in Live to Lead conferences hosted by a great leader, coach and mentor, John Maxwell. You can meet real life-changing leaders offering their humbleness in greatness and their hard walk to get where they are. Real people. Its a true representation of the varied leadership styles, objectively presented, inspiring for all kinds of people and the leader in you. It focuses on leadership and not leftists nor right-wing propagandas. I encourage you to search John Maxwell if you are looking for inspiration in 2023.

But this, short of a docuseries, short of inspirational, is a well-edited, music-enriched global leftist propaganda of what the elitist crowd wants you to think is good. Its nothing about leadership, but everything on gaslighting and opportunism. Only high ratings comes from leftist trying to boost the series. In any case, it reveals the benefits of aligning thoughts with the right, powerful, elitist crowd. Full of ironies that almost seems like they are laughing at our faces. How can a child enviromentalist that hides behind autism to demand pity, endorse two world-class spenders of fossil fuels. Those elitists she loves and admire. The hypocrisy! How can a governor, President of her country, endorse two royal brats who has not experience what the poor endures and dares talk about poverty. Feels so fake and hypocritical. I can go on, but the show is to promote the World Economic Forum ideas and scares. I recommend visiting their webpage.

Road to hell is paved by good intentions should be a subtitle of this show. These are the people that create a climate of irreversible damage to local and global society. Their talking points are pure demagogy and their actions are against international human rights and anti-science at its core. This is pure demagogy of the ruling elites that governs societal collapse all around the world. The worse aspect of these people is that it is possible they just don't know what they are doing but the narcissism is obvious. The age of extreme religious views cloaked as "science" has started few years ago and things might get much worse before they get better.

I was truly disappointed with this series, the people highlighted are extraordinary in their fields; yet, I couldn't help but feel that their stories where butchered. I believe that it was expected to actually know the biography of all those involved, in order to feel connected; their live stories felt incomplete, and in spite of their extraordinay experiences some episodes ended up being boring; which really impacted me, how could someone belittle these people's lives to the point of boredom? When they are everything BUT boring, so disappointed.

Also, don't understand the need to include Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in each episode, in my view, it diminished the quality of the show; and for the first time in my life, the constant mention of Nelson Mandela made me cringe to a point. I would have respected them more, if they would have given the light to their guests, if they would have taken more time to create their stories with the impact that they possess; the constant need to try to remind everyone that they're "trying" to do good, only reinforces their constant need for attention and validation.

If there's going to be a secon season, I truly hope that the respect that their possible guests deserve, comes through... Handing the torch to those who actually have a message to deliver. Even though, I don't think a second season with this same team is needed.
