in the world, but feel daunted by the legends of iconic activists like Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela. By considering how everyday people make a difference in their own communities or workplaces, we can find an approach that is relatable and attainable. Based on research and interviews with nearly fifty people devoted to making a positive difference, this book explores the mindsets that everyday changemakers have in common: how they perceive themselves, how they relate to others, and how they are oriented to action. Straight forward, accessible, and digestible, this book provides readers with helpful guidance and tips, inspiring words from the changemakers themselves, and reflective questions designed to spur insights and action. This book offers bright spots, helps new changemakers start small or go big, and encourages stalled changemakers to get their spark back and keep going. Most importantly, it reminds us that everyday people can make an extraordinary difference in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/575f19faab48de461194ba07/1599253677324-BJG17OITHZ1LWC5Q8GVC/Kara+Exner+author+photo+_F8A6338+8x12+%40300.jpg BOOK - About the author Kara Exner holds a BA in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Adult and Continuing Education. While interviewing nearly fifty successful changemakers, she heard the same themes raised over and over, and decided to document what makes changemakers universally successful. As a leadership coach, she is credentialed as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, and has worked with hundreds of people to help them understand how they perceive themselves, how they relate to others, and how they can reach their goals. She lives in Calgary, Canada, with her husband and their two boys. https://www.karaexner.com/speaking daily 0.75 2022-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/575f19faab48de461194ba07/1eb76759-30f7-4ab6-80a9-ecf5c6ab83ec/Impatient+optimists.jpg SPEAKING - Being a force for good can be grueling, but you’re not alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/575f19faab48de461194ba07/c9bb2168-3b6e-4eef-875f-efced7876120/Stage+May+2019-2.jpg SPEAKING - I help people harness their strengths and m ake a difference that matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/575f19faab48de461194ba07/d02d7a54-3027-4b21-98e3-69aa39e894f2/AFP+session-2.jpg SPEAKING - Kara’s in the business of helping people make a difference that matters Ten years ago she embarked on an informal research project to discover what successful changemakers have in common.
