We Are All Champions for Change

What’s your story? We all have one. It could be one of personal challenges that you had to overcome or it could consist of people and/or experiences that inspire you. Regardless of what it is, our stories and experiences bring about purpose (a reason for being) and through them, we can inspire others and champion change.

How do we champion change? This can be done by using our stories, our experiences, our PURPOSE to drive impact. Stories of both “struggle” and “privilege” can make impact. Through our struggles we have a unique opportunity to gain information, evaluate the lessons learned and pay it forward. The beauty of privilege is that we have access to do something that matters. When we recognize our stories, it gives us the opportunity to walk in our purpose and be champions of change. When we do this, it not only allows us to make impact, but it also allows us to leave our mark in this world. That is our LEGACY.

Part of walking in our purpose is to live for more than just ourselves. Creating lasting value for other individuals – for future generations – is extremely important.

This International Women’s Day as we continue to discuss the opportunities around gender equality, I challenge you, to think through your story and experience and identify where you can be a champion of change.

Looking for ways to get involved? Join our network of Change Champions that aim to use their stories and experience to make a positive impact in this world.

Walking in My Purpose,
