What we discussed: Colleen’s change-making work in the area of volunteerism, the non-for-profit sector How we traditionally interpret words like “volunteer” and “menopause” and why that must change Choosing to compromise vs what we will never compromise on when it comes to our life’s work How important paradigm-shifting language is for rethinking how we see the world The power of language and the words we use Continuing to do our work even when we know we won’t necessarily live to see the impact Being forward-thinking enough to ensure there is a way for others to continue the work we’ve started We explore the language of being a changemaker and how it makes us feel to use words like paradigm shift, social construct, and rhetoric Why using phrases like “forest person” and “tree person” is a preferable way of describing big and small picture thinking How things may be difficult or hard, but they don’t have to be impossible.
