This week, we explore a profound shift in mindset to create systems change—moving from the role of the "learned professor" to that of a "coach." As John Harper wisely puts it, “the humble learner is the effective teacher.” This transition encourages us to recognize that solutions often reside within the communities we serve. It’s our responsibility to bring those insights to the forefront, helping individuals and groups unlock their potential. 🎧: https://lnkd.in/esX_n4jY

Thoughts from a master of locally driven social change. A must listen. FSG John Harper
FSG CEO John Harper got to speak on systems change + getting proximate to communities on season 3 of the System Catalysts podcast 🎧 In this episode, John explores a critical mindset shift in mindset when it comes to systems change work—moving from the “learned professor” to the “humble learner.” Systems change leaders understand that those closest to the problem have the deepest knowledge of solutions. John says, “If we can bring more of that humility into the room, recognizing that the solutions are often already in the room, we have the responsibility to help highlight that inside of a community.” 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/ei6RyzpK Thanks to System Catalysts and co-hosts Jeffrey Walker and English Sall for the opportunity to share! 👏 #SystemsChange #SocialImpact #Philanthropy

How do you change mental models? That's a perennial question system leaders grapple with. While there's no one-size-fits-all approach, this brilliant episode of the System Catalysts podcast, hosted by the inimitable Jeffrey Walker and English Sall and featuring Marc Solomon's journey as a leader in the movement to legalize same-sex marriage in the US, offers important insights on what it takes to shift mindsets: crafting messages that speak to the heart (not the head); connecting system actors across power differentials who otherwise would not have crossed paths; and facilitating deep relational work though conversations that, over time, allow different beliefs to take root. Now in season 3, the System Catalysts podcast is a must-listen for educators and system leaders alike! https://lnkd.in/eb2PUmE2
