April 10 2018 was a monumental day in global history. Dr. Lew Bayer of Civility Experts Worldwide™ and Dr. Clyde of iChange Nations™ launched their partnership of Golden Rule Civility Initiative and Global Rule Civility Training.

In a time in history when civility is at an all-time low, Dr. Lew Bayer with her two decades of creating civility curriculum and training globally and Dr. Clyde Rivers as the Golden Rule Dialogue Expert and leading iChange Nations™ network in creating cultures of honor in over 120 nations combined their forces to present, for the first time ever, Golden Rule Civility Initiative and Training. Their belief…if we combine Golden Rule people treatment and honor with civility skills training, we can truly impact the world with positive change in our behavior toward each other. We can create a more civil world where everyone has the opportunity to bring their unique contribution to world.

In Indiana this launch was successful as the Level One Training was accomplished with several nations engaged.

In Newport, Oregon March 3, 2018 iChange Nations™ launched the first of its kind, the Global Golden Rule Business Initiative. Honoring local community businesses for their Golden Rule ethics in business. Recognizing local businesses for their great business ethics is at the forefront of a movement ICN is initiating to bring the culture of honor to communities around the world.

iChange Nations™ believes that honoring, where honor is due, changes the atmosphere of communities, regions and nations. Newport will become a template to give all small communities a model of how honor changes a community. Showing that honor inspires others to accomplish a greater level of integrity and service to their community. This in turn betters the life of the community and it’s residents.

Among the business honored in this first Golden Rule Business Honor Event were business in the construction trades, restaurants, storage, health and vitamins, an Asian Market, hotel, CPA, Dental Care and more. Showing that all communities have a plethora of businesses that contribute to the life of a community and that many work hard and need recognition for their contribution to their communities. ICN knows that by honoring businesses that are exemplifying Golden Rule Ethics, they are taking their place in a global responsibility. The local is now global and does affect the world around us. Dr. Rivers plans on seeing this template reach the world, propagating the Golden Rule Culture of Honor in businesses that originated out of Lincoln County. The Local businessmen Mike Dean, John Robinson, Mike Pitzl and Scot Waggnor we the initiators of this movement with ICN out of Lincoln County, Oregon.

Dr. Clyde Rivers is the Founder and President of IChange Nations™ a professional institution that is establishing cultures of honor globally, earning iChange Nations™ the title of the “Largest Network Establishing Cultures of Honor in the World.” iChange Nations™ honor systems are in over 120 nations. http://ichangenations.org/
