ALPHAWHISPERERS™
Power Behind The Power
ALPHAWHISPERERS™ is a breakthrough global leadership engine focused on the urgency of reframing how power and influence operates in our society, with the goal of humanizing and democratizing top leadership decision-making for systemic change.
“Alpha Whisperers” are brilliant strategists, advisers and counsels to world leaders, business titans, visionaries and to the most influential decision-makers and actors across fields. They have enormous, oftentimes unseen and mysterious power and influence that impact us individually and collectively as a society. ALPHAWHISPERERS™ as a global leadership engine drives systemic change by harnessing this unseen and quiet, yet outsized, power behind the power.
Created, authored and founded by social innovator, investor, strategist and global leadership architect Janet C. Salazar (J.C. Salazar), the engine that started as a leadership book project, ALPHAWHISPERERS™: Power Behind The Power was incubated by the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Residency Program in March 2023 at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Bellagio, Italy.
The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Residency Program has a track record for supporting the production of breakthrough ideas and knowledge addressing some of the most complex challenges facing our world. The Bellagio Center has hosted some of the most ambitious, innovative, and committed leaders of our time — including more than 85 Nobel Laureates. Previous guests include economists Amartya Sen and Milton Friedman, United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, former Deputy Chief Justice of South Africa Dikgang Moseneke, former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, renowned author Maya Angelou, former President of Ireland Mary Robinson, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Amanda Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in US history, and more.
ALPHAWHISPERERS™ compels the world's most influential “Alpha Whisperers” to be accountable and do what is right – to use the power of their “whispers” for the greater good.
"I believe that the present world could be better, and the future even better –
with the help of a new breed of Alpha Whisperers."
