PTP collaborates with two-time Olympic Pentathlete Marilyn King to advance “Peace is the Only Gold” – a global peace education initiative. Marilyn reminds us that the Olympic Charter states that the purpose of the Olympic Games is… “to educate youth through sports to create a better and more peaceful world.” What better next step than to have Olympians worldwide inspiring young people to think like Olympians about their personal goals, their community, and a world at Peace? Marilyn invites people to “The Peace Team” and to learn to think about Peace the same way Olympians think about gold medals. That includes being crystal clear about the goal, their role, and engaging in highly effective daily practices, which include “Begin Your Day the Olympian Way.” The Peace Team was initiated when Ted Turner hosted 100 Russians and 100 Americans to meet and create joint projects. Marilyn and Elena Petushkova conceived The Peace Team.
Marilyn’s Olympian Thinking™ is a program that gives youth the inspiration and the skills to envision, plan, and achieve success in their lives. The program is based on Olympian Technology™, a high- performance “vision to action” technology. It utilizes the same thinking skills currently taught to elite athletes, astronauts, corporate executives, and others interested in exceptional human performance. PTP’s Peace Card, Peace Wheel, and PeaceWave, are key elements of this initiative, culminating on the International Day of Peace (Peace Day) every year. Peace is the Only Gold is a dynamic and sustainable program to put Peace into daily practice.
This collaboration is set to launch on Peace Day (September 21st) 2024!
