About
FRAN KORTEN
Publisher of YES! Magazine
www.yesmagazine.org
My passion lies in nourishing people’s sense of what is possible at this urgent moment in our collective history. Like many others, I see so clearly the limits of this resilient but finite planet and the limits of oppression in a globally connected world. It’s a scary time and an exciting time – a time of discouragement and despair and a time of energy and hope.
What we pay attention to is what we feed – what we energize. So, as publisher of YES! magazine – www.yesmagazine.org -- I see my work as helping showcase what people are thinking and doing to move us all to a more just, sustainable, and compassionate world. The stories we hold in our head about who we are, what is happening and what we can become will make all the difference as we move through the difficult times that lie ahead. My work is to help people see the best of what we humans can become and to help each person feel himself or herself to be an agent of history in this unfolding drama.
I am thrilled to know so many great people are doing such courageous work at this time, some at national and international levels – and many at local, community levels. I love helping them connect and experience the momentum of what they can achieve. I know that together we have the power to transform our world.
Before becoming the publisher of YES! Magazine, I worked for 20 years as a grantmaker in the Ford Foundation’s offices in Manila, Jakarta, and New York. I have a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Stanford University, have taught at the national university of Ethiopia and at Harvard University. I currently live with my husband, David Korten, on Bainbridge Island, Washington, where I bike to work at the YES! offices. David and I have two children and two grandchildren.
