Even changemakers and adventurers can fear change and challenge
Just because you're a changemaker or adventurer (or hoping to be), that doesn’t necessarily mean you like change, challenge, uncertainty or risk. Maybe you actually hate it, but you just know things must change. You can’t ignore that little voice, unsee that vision, or turn a blind eye. Aurélie Villaespesa, from the Climate Youth Negotiator Programme and fresh from COP 30, loves change and challenge. Can she inspire you to feel more warmly towards change and challenge, so that you can experience more joy, thrill, satisfaction, resilience and opportunities for awe (even if uncertainty, discomfort, disappointment and all the rest have to tag along too), doing what matters for people, planet & yourself?
Doing things differently: The way things are done is not necessarily THE way to do them, and you can find a better way
You want to make a difference and have a positive impact in the world. But are you willing to do this even if it means doing things differently and creating a new norm? Would it help if I pointed out that many of the existing norms got there quite randomly and not because they are ‘the best way’? And that doing things differently might actually make things easier for you?
