Read on and find out about tools, skills and networks that can help you deal with resistance, be optimistic and co-create constructive transformation.
Something that caught our attention
A good friend shared this subreddit thread called antiwork. It highlights people’s dismay and discontent at their working environments, and signals how a fight for worker’s rights is gaining a voice outside companies.
Spend an hour there and you’ll see how organisational hierarchy and power structures are being challenged.
While this subreddit is “for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, or want to get the most out of a work-free life”, we offer those who still see a possibility to change their working environments from within, tools, networks and strategies to give it a go.

“After working in social entrepreneurship for over a decade, I strongly believe in the positive disruption that business-for-good brings. That said, we need more momentum. It's time to help big business disrupt itself. That's why we started this course for young professionals in organisations. To help them raise their voices and inspire their organisations to take the lead.” Get inspired and check out the She Leads dashboard.
