The first and most critical level of change-making starts very close to home – with yourself. If you don’t invest the time, attention and resources to becoming (and staying) physically and mentally healthy, you’ll limit your ability to share your unique gifts with those around you.

 

Taking care of your well-being in all its dimensions is a necessary baseline for having a positive impact on people, ideas and results.

The next level of change takes place in the communities and teams to which you belong. No group of people can contribute positively in the long-term without trust – it paves the way for creativity and resilience in the face of inevitable challenge.

​

Your impact on this level is to be someone who builds trust, invites diverse contributions and develops practices and rituals that keep everyone learning and evolving together.

Finally, if and when you’re seeing the benefits of investing time, attention and resources in yourself and your teams, you can consider expanding your positive impact to others and to our planet’s health.

The major existential crises of equality, health, economic stability and environmental change have a myriad of symptoms and spinoffs that merit attention. We can’t all do it all and, indeed, we shouldn’t. However, you’re ideally placed to solve a unique problem – so, find the one you care about and do something about that.
