It's About Being A Change Maker with Colleen Kelly

What we discussed:

Colleen’s change-making work in the area of volunteerism, the non-for-profit sector
How we traditionally interpret words like “volunteer” and “menopause” and why that must change
Choosing to compromise vs what we will never compromise on when it comes to our life’s work
How important paradigm-shifting language is for rethinking how we see the world
The power of language and the words we use
Continuing to do our work even when we know we won’t necessarily live to see the impact
Being forward-thinking enough to ensure there is a way for others to continue the work we’ve started
We explore the language of being a changemaker and how it makes us feel to use words like paradigm shift, social construct, and rhetoric
Why using phrases like “forest person” and “tree person” is a preferable way of describing big and small picture thinking
How things may be difficult or hard, but they don’t have to be impossible.
