My Changemaker Toolkit

This article originally appeared on Ashoka

A simple, do-it-yourself toolkit for creating change:

What is a changemaker?
Seeing yourself as a changemaker.
Giving yourself permission.
Committing to your idea.
Finding your people.
Creating roles for others.
Putting love and respect into action.
Unlocking the gift of giving.
Sharing your story freely.
Going at your own pace.
Seeing changemakers everywhere and helping others see them too.

Ashoka insight

Creating change isn’t just the work of idealists or people starting companies. Our towns and cities, schools and workplaces come alive thanks to people like you. People who care. People who see past the problems to the solutions. The fixers. The doers. The slightly restless. The somewhat kooky.
