Welcome to the Impact Professional!
Our professions need to change. We, as professionals, have the opportunity to use our professions as a lever for positive change – to really make a difference. If it's not obvious, we need to do this because our world needs our professions to change. We are faced with complex social and environmental challenges and we can’t leave this to chance.
Who is This Book For?
This book is for every professional, whether you are deep into your career or you’re just starting your journey. Whether you work in law, engineering, procurement, accounting, IT, journalism, medicine or anything else - every profession has this opportunity.
I want to show you how being a professional gives you the opportunity to drive change. That you don’t have to feel a disconnect between what you do and what you think we should be doing. I want this book to take you from the sidelines, or from feeling stuck, to a place where you feel confident to step up and lean in.
What Will You Learn?
This book is about making positive change happen. So how will you achieve this?
You will start by understanding your motivations and uncovering the strengths and talents that you can use to drive positive change. You will also add practical tools to your existing toolkit of skills, knowledge, connections and experience and learn how to mobilise these to get things done. And you will explore different perspectives and approaches that you can bring to your work to shape bolder aspirations of what is possible.
