About Antonio Meza
I never thought I could make a career out of cartoon design! But now it is happening. Since 2012 I've been drawing constantly and I have now co-authored 4 books as an illustrator and participated in several other ones. I also illustrate websites, presentations, articles and I have pleasure doing "graphic facilitation" for seminars and corporate events.
My superpowers include cartoon design, graphic facilitation, storyboard, photography, filmmaking and script writing.
I was born in Pachuca, Mexico. My career includes work in marketing research, advertising, branding, corporate image, film production, and scriptwriting. My professional photography work has been exhibited in Mexico, Belgium, and France.
When I'm not at my drawing table or creating live-illustrations in events, I fight the forces of evil as an executive coach, consultant and trainer in Neurolinguistic Programming under the identity of Akrobatas.
I'm passionate about photography, dancing, and public speaking. I obtained the first prize at the Toastmasters International Public Speaking Contest of South-West Europe in 2015.
I currently I live in Paris with my wife and our two cats.

I’ve loved drawing ever since I can remember. At primary school in Mexico I spent hours doodling while the teacher spoke. I was good at catching the main concepts in class and then wonder off into my own world of cartoon characters. Little did I know those skills would become professional assets in the future.

Next Generation Entrepreneurs is the first volume of the Success Factor Modeling series by renowned author and consultant Robert Dilts. Success Factor ModelingTM is a methodology whose purpose is to identify key characteristics and capabilities shared by successful entrepreneurs, teams and ventures. It then applies these to define specific processes and skills that can be used by others to greatly increase their chances of producing impact and achieving success. Next Generation Entrepreneurs presents models, tools, exercises, illustrations and case examples - of both world famous and everyday entrepreneurs - that will help you understand how to create your own "Circle of Success" and create a business aligned with your life purpose. Entrepreneurs are individuals who are willing to take personal, professional and financial responsibility and risk in order to pursue opportunity. The entrepreneurial spirit has been a driving force for social and economic growth and advancement throughout human history. In recent years, a new generation of entrepreneurs has emerged who are interested in much more than financial gain. Characterized by people like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Elon Musk, this new generation of entrepreneurs is also deeply committed to living their dreams and making a better world through their projects or ventures. By combining personal ambition with the desire for contribution, growth and fulfillment they have made game-changing and world-changing innovations that have transformed the way we live and do business. This book is for people who have a similar vision and are willing to make a conscious decision to become more passionate, purposeful and creative, and to learn to become a "Next Generation Entrepreneur."
To "generate" means to create something that has not previously existed. The focus of "generative change" is to cultivate creativity: in teams, ventures, relationships and individuals. The goal of generative consulting, in particular, is to help teams and organizations evolve and function in ways that are both new and more effective.
Generative consulting often requires introducing a whole new mindset into an organization. This new mindset includes cognitive understanding but also involves engaging other forms of intelligence, such as somatic intelligence, emotional intelligence and collective intelligence.
In this book, we will show how the seven steps of the generative consulting DIAMOND Model can be applied, using multiple intelligences, to help teams and organizations stimulate growth, survive crises and manage transition. We will also show how the nine generative consulting competences can be used to inspire and empower individuals and teams to co-create a world to which they want to belong.
How do you bring yourself, your team and your venture to the next level of success? This is the question that entrepreneurs, managers and business leaders ask themselves every day.
Creating or joining a Mastermind group is one of the most powerful and effective answers to that question. A Mastermind group is an innovative form of collective intelligence whose purpose is to support those who want to go to take their lives or ventures to a new level, realize an ambitious project or quickly develop a business idea.
This book describes how the principles of generative collaboration and collective intelligence can be applied to create a powerful and effective Mastermind group, and clearly explains what to expect from such a group.
It also provides all the necessary information for individuals and consultants who wish to create and facilitate their own Mastermind groups.
The 8 co-authors of this book wrote it as a collective effort, applying the Mastermind group process in order to share their own experience of collective intelligence to help you achieve success!

We live in a challenging and ever changing world. As the rate of change accelerates, it brings with it increasing instability, uncertainty and risk. Creating a successful and sustainable venture under such conditions requires a high degree of conscious leadership, innovation and resilience. Robust and durable leaders, teams and ventures are those that are “fit for the future”; i.e., able to ride the inevitable waves of change and to navigate the path of dangers and opportunities that comes with those waves.
By examining the mindset and actions of successful entrepreneurs and leaders —such as Elon Musk (SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity), Richard Branson (The Virgin Group), Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com), Anita Roddick (The Body Shop), Howard Schultz (Starbucks) and many others — this book shows how to guide yourself and your team from a state of centered presence, accessing multiple intelligences and living your highest values in service to a larger purpose for the benefit of all stakeholders. You will learn how to empower, coach, share and stretch yourself and others in order to create a profitable and sustainable venture.
With the support of these skills and resources, you will become increasingly authentic, emotionally intelligent, purposeful and responsible, and create teams and ventures that are more productive, ecological, sustainable and fun.

It then applies these to define specific processes and skills that can be used by others to greatly increase their chances of increasing their impact and achieving success.

Working together with others in groups and teams is an increasingly common and important part of modern business and contemporary life. High performing teams demonstrate the characteristic of collective intelligence. Collective intelligence relates to the ability of people in a team, group or organization to think and act in an aligned and coordinated fashion
The fruit of effective collective intelligence is what is known as generative collaboration. Generative collaboration involves people working together to create or generate something new, surprising and beyond the capacities of any of the group members individually. Through generative collaboration, individuals are able to utilize their abilities to the fullest and discover and apply resources that they did not yet realize that they had. They draw new ideas and resources out of each other. Thus, the performance or output of the group as a whole is much greater than it would be if the individuals were working by themselves.
This book is for people who want to increase their capacity for working effectively together with others and to experience the excitement, satisfaction and power of generative collaboration.
Il est des contextes, des organisations où la générativité existe !
Un ensemble de facilitateurs, membres du Dilts Strategy Group, a donc eu comme intention ces dernières années de modéliser les organisations qui fonctionnent en Intelligence Collective et de déterminer quels en sont les facteurs clefs, notamment « la différence qui fait la différence ». Le propos de cette étude a été de prendre la mesure sur le terrain des dernières tendances et des idées trouvées par les équipes et les organisations pour augmenter l’Intelligence Collective, ceci afin d’aborder les défis et d’exploiter au mieux les opportunités dans le contexte économique actuel.
Ce livre est ainsi l’histoire de cette aventure, menée elle-même dans un esprit collaboratif, qui au final a abouti à l’émergence d’un outil de perception de l’Intelligence Collective – PERICEO – permettant aujourd’hui d’auditer tout type d’organisation et d’en augmenter le niveau global.
Co-construit et co-écrit selon les principes de l’Intelligence Collective, les auteurs ont pour but de partager leurs découvertes et d’encourager les lecteurs de tous horizons à d’autres études et expérimentations. L’un d’eux, Robert Dilts, l’exprime ainsi : La capacité des équipes et des organisations à favoriser les conditions permettant de créer une véritable Intelligence collective est un des principaux défis de notre époque. Comment identifier les facteurs clés de succès qui aideront les groupes et organisations à réussir au delà de leurs espérances ? Ce livre constitue une des référence en la matière.
Les entrepreneurs sont des individus prêts à prendre des responsabilités et des risques personnels, professionnels et financiers pour saisir une opportunité. L’esprit entrepreneurial a toujours été un moteur de développement économique et social et de progression au cours de l’histoire de l’humanité.
Ces dernières années ont vu l’émergence d’une nouvelle génération d’entrepreneurs, qui recherchent bien plus que le profit financier. Représen- tés par des personnalités comme Steve Jobs, Richard Branson et Elon Musk, les entrepreneurs de cette nouvelle génération s’investissent également largement dans la concrétisation de leurs rêves et la construction d’un monde meilleur au travers de leurs projets ou entreprises. En combinant l’ambition personnelle avec le désir de contribution, d’évolution et d’accom- plissement, ils ont élaboré des innovations qui ont révolutionné la façon dont nous vivons et réglons les affaires.
Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux personnes qui ont une vision similaire et la volonté de décider en conscience de devenir plus passionnées, déterminées et créatives, et d’apprendre à devenir un «Entrepreneur de la Nouvelle Génération».
