Have you been moved to create change? To start something that others have ignored? This moment is YOURS and it’s time to own it. I believe leaders turn moments into movements and anyone can be a great leader or what I call a #Firestarter. #Firestarters just need the skills and tools to make it happen.
#MovementMaker: The Podcast is the HOW and WHY to build movements that shape our communities and the world. In each episode I will bring insights to the #MovementMakerTribe by interviewing leaders that turn moments into movements each and every day. People that also inspire me and I hope they do the same for you.
One thing that makes this podcast special is that it doesn’t stop with tips and tools that are a part of the #Firestarter Formula, but also we will also talk about how to light the movement within. Fuel for firestarters is just as important, if not more important than doing the work.
Have an idea for #MovementMaker: The Podcast or want to share something with me? Drop me a note at Tribe@TerriBWilliams.com. Let’s be fire starters. Let’s get to the business of creating the change we want to see in the world. Let’s be Movement Makers together.
