Part compendium of ideas, part rallying cry to the cause, a Manifesto is a human-centred map pointing to a hopeful new future ❤️🌏 Manifestos can be the most compelling kinds of stories. Whether practical or poetic, they are inspired by the rawest of emotions, like love, hope, fury and hatred. That's right - when channelled well, negative emotions can drive positive action. Manifestos are unapologetic in their purpose to create a different kind of world. What’s *your* vision for how things can be different - and how are you getting that message noticed by the people alongside you to make real change happen? If you’re not shouting it from the rooftops, you are going to be drowned out by the louder but lesser voices. Our world deserves more from people with big, important ideas like yours! Not sure where to start? Let me show you how in my upcoming 2-hour, online ‘You Need a Manifesto’ workshop! 👊 #52ways #fromradicaltoreality #bigideas #thoughtleadership #radicalthinking #thenewleadership #ChangeMakers

How can we turn missions into movements through storytelling? I loved the chance to share my LOUPE storytelling process at the Real Leaders UNITE CEO summit earlier this year. It was surprising that so many purpose-driven leaders would have difficulty answering the question, "What makes a story, a story?" One example of a powerful impact story was SAMBAZON, and how they introduced the acai berry to the world and helped preserve over 2 million acres and counting. But it wasn't just their story, it was what other companies were doing beside them, like Numi Organic Tea, Dr. Bronner's, and Guayakí Yerba Mate, among others, who together as a collective started the 'triple bottom line' business movement, companies prioritizing People, Planet, and Profits. As documented in my award-winning film, Seeding Change: The Power of Conscious Commerce (SeedingChangeFilm.com), developing an 'impact story' is crucial for those looking to grow with today's conscious consumer, A heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended my sessions – you were awesome!

Activism Alone Won't Cut It: how to drive change in your organization. Remember that brilliant idea you had, met with enthusiasm, but led to no change? ·     It wasn't the idea's fault. ·     Your colleagues were probably genuinely supportive. ·     But did you consider the status quo bias? Humans are creatures of habit so your organization’s context needs to be fully designed to foster change. Across the spectrum of soft and hard elements.   Thus while internal communities and activism is much-needed, it's often not enough to drive change on its own. What's needed too? A link to the strategy and vision of the organization, translated into an innovation strategy with robust KPIs & clear priorities and sufficient absorption power of the organization. Ready to drive your organization into motion? Reach out to us at High Noon Innovation and let's co-create the perfect formula for change. #change #activism #strategy #behaviouralchange #innovation
