_Empowering Young People to Make a Positive Impact_ Encouraging young people to make a positive impact in their communities and the world at large can help them develop a sense of purpose, empathy, and social responsibility. Let's explore ways to empower them: 1. Volunteer Opportunities: - Provide opportunities for young people to engage in volunteer work, community service, or social activism. 2. Social-Emotional Learning: - Teach young people skills like empathy, self-awareness, and conflict resolution to help them navigate complex social issues. 3. Environmental Awareness: - Educate young people about environmental issues and encourage sustainable practices like recycling, conservation, and eco-friendly living. 4. Community Engagement: - Encourage young people to participate in local initiatives, advocacy campaigns, or political processes that align with their values. 5. Leadership Development: - Support young people in developing leadership skills, such as public speaking, problem-solving, and collaboration. By empowering young people to make a positive impact, we can help them become active global citizens, change-makers, and future leaders.

Then they turn their attention to what the wider team of colleagues need to be fully aligned, engaged and empowered to play their part. This is OK but it's so much more powerful to combine them, developing high performance relationships and behaviours whilst 'working on the work'. This is why we've teamed up with our parters at Hedgehog to develop The Leadership Advantage.

In today's world of thought leadership, advocacy is emerging not just as a strategy but as a responsibility. As leaders with the power of influence, we've got this incredible power to sway opinions and advocate for tangible, meaningful change. If there’s one thing I’ve been reminded of this year it’s that your voice has the power to shape the future. It’s up to you to use it to create the world you wish to live in.
