What trends will shape the social impact world in 2025? 💭 To get the inside scoop, LinkedIn's Kavell Brown headed to NationSwell Summit 2024. From AI to community building, find out what's top of mind for social impact leaders right now. #HopeinAction #NationswellSummit

What’s the biggest issue working parents face? Two words: Child care. Last month, our own Reshma Saujani took the stage at NationSwell’s Summit alongside fellow caregiving champions — Lindsay Jurist-Rosner (Wellthy), Stephan Dolling (Merck), and Jennifer Stybel (Pivotal Ventures) — to make one thing very clear: the workplace of tomorrow hinges on how we tackle the care crisis today. Here are some key takeaways: 🔑 Caregiving is not a niche issue — 73% of workers in the U.S. have some type of caregiving responsibility 🔑 Childcare benefits are just good business sense — they drive retention, employee satisfaction, boost company culture...the benefits pretty much pay for themselves 🔑 The business community has a powerful role to play, not only to expand child care benefits for their employees but to ensure that policymakers invest in child care as the critical workforce issue it is The child care crisis isn't going to solve itself, and we are so proud to be part of the growing community pushing for real change for moms everywhere!

"The future is ours to shape. If we embrace the idea that hope is a practice, technology becomes more than a tool; it becomes a way to exercise hope in action and build the future we want to see!" Two weeks ago, I joined the NationSwell Community to share my vision for how technology can serve as a force for equity, justice, and human dignity. It’s tempting to think of AI as an inevitability, a force that will shape our future on its own. But AI is just a reflection of our humanity, mirroring the principles, values, and systems we choose to embed in it. The real challenge isn’t the technology itself - the challenge lies in the systems we’ve created to guard against inequality and injustice that are under strain.  AI can either deepen those fractures or help us reimagine and rebuild something better. The question isn’t what AI will do, but whether we choose to do great things with AI. Thank you, Greg Behrman, for your leadership and for building a space where change-makers can be inspired to reflect, connect, and drive change! #AI #HopeInAction #NationSwell #FutureWeShape

If #TED had a baby, it would be a lightning talk - one that pushes you to be vulnerable and vocal, to use your voice as you live into your vocation, to step out on faith that if you take a leap, a net will miraculously appear. Thanks to the beautiful community at NationSwell, I had the gift of repping REDF as I shared such a talk on reframing how we think about this notion of lived experience (of barriers like #homelessness, #poverty, or justice system impact) and instead reframe it as #livedexpertise. Or the things in our lives that we've done or that have been to us that ultimately push us to become who we beautifully, gloriously, affirmatively are. Lived expertise is alive and well in #employment #socialenterprises around the country, and it was a true honor to be able to share why. This one's dedicated to my friend Raahsaan Brown who teaches me everyday we are not the sum total of our past, but the infinite possibility of who we are and who we become with each experience along the way. #InclusiveEconomy https://lnkd.in/gsCF9VJ7
