Over the years I’ve totally geeked out on both disability rights and civil rights. There’s nothing better than a leader building a movement, defying the odds, and beating Goliath. A big reason for me wanting to learn about this subject, is to inform my disability activism today. “We have to understand the past to shape… Continue Reading
Small acts of kindness
On Monday I went to Arundel house hotel in Cambridge for a client meeting. What a place too! Unfortunately there was a small (but big enough) step to the conference rooms. A couple of builders were working on the door. As we surveyed the barrier, they must have caught wind of the problem. We headed… Continue Reading
Ann Hawkins – Networking for impact
Networking has been around forever. Early homo sapiens understood that together survival was more likely. Literally. A tribe could more easily defend itself from predators. A tribe could hunt more effectively. A tribe generally was better than going solo. Today we don’t struggle so much with predators or going hunting. Aside from a pub fight… Continue Reading

In the end I want to share the many amazing people I have met and experiences I had. So you can take away from it whatever is relevant at the… Continue Reading
Resources and Impact
One thing I’ve learned is that influence doesn’t automatically mean resources or impact. For resources, a self employed World Changer needs money for their bills. An organisation making social impact needs money, people, infrastructure and so forth. But having lots of hits/likes/followers doesn’t automatically mean resources just fly in the door. Like it or not,… Continue Reading
Bailey Richert – Infopreneurship
I realised recently I’ve been blogging for 10 years in August. Using such a relatively new tool has been hard from a business model perspective. Authors, radio producers, tv presenters, magazine editors all know how to get paid for their craft. Blogging has had to work all this out. Whilst I quickly found out I… Continue Reading
