We don’t have a knowledge problem.
We have an action gap.

Testimonials

  • “At a moment when sustainability frameworks are widespread yet progress remains uneven, Leap the Gap addresses the real obstacle to change: human behavior. Drawing on decades of experience leading LEED-certified projects and advising organizations through Revitaliza Consultores, the author moves beyond technical solutions to confront the cultural, emotional, and organizational barriers that stall action. By combining systems thinking with a participatory, game-based framework, this book transforms sustainability from abstract commitment into practical agency. Leap the Gap is essential reading for anyone ready to move from intention to implementation—and to lead with clarity, courage, and purpose in a rapidly changing world.”

    Rick Fedrizzi
    Founding Chairman, US Green Building Council and Executive Chairman, International WELL Building Institute

  • “In a world where the environmental crisis is advancing faster than our ability to respond, Leap the Gap becomes essential to understanding why we continue to fall short of moving from intention to action. The author, Architect Alicia Silva Villanueva, offers a deeply differentiated perspective by revealing the real human, emotional, and cultural obstacles that are often left out of the conversation. Drawing from her extensive experience, she provides an honest and transformative path to activate real change. This book-game invites you to think, feel, and act. If you are looking for a read that can shift the way you see and do, this is the book you need.”
