The world at large is in turmoil. We are being confronted with various crises that are affecting us all: climate change, war, pandemic, migration, economic difficulty, and more. As a result, a growing number of people worry about our collective future.
You have undoubtedly heard the phrase, ‘If you want to change the world, start with yourself’. A small change in your thoughts, your perspective, or even your attitude can bring about a profound change, not only within yourself, but in your family, your neighbours, your friends, and your workplace.
Lasting change happens when you make small changes, both in yourself and in your immediate environment. When you are able to do this, you are actively playing a role in creating a brighter future, not only for yourself, but also for the people around you, and humanity at large. You are an agent of change.
Being an agent of change is the first magazine of the Agents of Change programme. Its aim is to inspire and raise up people who wish to make positive changes in themselves and in the world. Subsequent magazines are being developed that focus on creating meaningful work, being super-collaborators and conflict solvers, and creating learning organisations. A dedicated series regarding diversity, equity and inclusion has been developed called “Unity in Diversity”. The first in that series is “addressing racial inequity”.
