40K Milestone! Thank you Fellow Changemakers!

Hi Changemaker family! We have reached 40,000 subscribers from the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, thanks to you!

We have come a long way since we began on 25th of May. Only a few newsletters on LinkedIn can achieve this milestone so quickly, and I do not take your support for granted: we did this together! I am not endorsed by LinkedIn in the form of a blue tick, so I do not have an algorithm advantage. So, this milestone was achieved by each one of you who resonated with what I have been sharing.

Why did I begin?

I wrote my Creative Change book and started this newsletter for changemakers who feel alone, misunderstood in their journeys to bring about change. As someone who is involved in changemaking, I understand the struggles but more importantly, to share changemaking solutions that do work as I collaborate with changemakers in business and non-profits all over the world.

I began with the following goals in mind:

1) To tell changemakers that it is possible!

2) To meet other changemakers and connect for impact!

3) To amplify the positive work of changemakers worldwide!

For point 3, if you like me to amplify your work leveraging on my network of 300,000 followers on Linkedin and through this newsletter, tell me about your changemaking project by writing to info@consulus.com

As we head into November, I like to inform you that I will be taking a break from publishing this newsletter for the entire month. I will be away on a personal break for 2 weeks to recharge. However, rest assured that Creative Change will be back in full swing in December. I will be visiting and delivering Creative Change keynotes in Kaohsiung, Taipei, New Delhi, and Zagreb from 5th till 14th December.

Thank you dear family!

4th Edition: Seeing and Being Changemakers Matter in an Age of Hyper-Change

Gist of it: I shared about my discovery at the launch of my book about what changemakers have in common, how they were able to ignite and drive change through what I coined as: 4Cs of Creative Change Cycle

10th Edition: Confronting our Demons To Be the Changemakers We Are Meant To Be
