Impact the World: Live Your Values and Drive Change As a Citizen Statesperson
Supercharge your impact on global issues and drive transformative change in the world around you
Impact the World: Live Your Values and Drive Change As a Citizen Statesperson is your motivational guide to becoming a superpowered individual committed to improving your community-and the world-through your values and actions. You'll discover why the intersection of a renewed civic spirit and new technologies empowering individuals at the local level equates to an unprecedented opportunity to channel global impact.
From poverty and homelessness to violence and corruption, we often see challenges in the world around us and ask, "Why doesn't someone do something?" We look to people with more experience, or people with more influence, or people with more time or resources than ourselves to step up and find answers to some of our biggest problems. But what if we didn't wait for others? What if we stepped up, and looked for ways to employ our skills to solve the biggest and most complex problems of our time?
That's what leaders do. That's what citizen statespeople do.
This book is a call to action. From local to global, from the private sector to government, and to the frontlines of social entrepreneurship, authors Carrie Rich and Dean Fealk explore the benefits and challenges of becoming a citizen statesperson, showing how to pull together disparate threads to solve pressing social, political, and economic challenges. You'll also discover:
● The lifecycle of a citizen statesperson, including an enlightening discussion of how to build your personal brand
● Inspiring case studies of real-life citizen statespeople around the world
● Explorations of the new technologies that can be used to accelerate the impact of a citizen statesperson on the world
Simultaneously optimistic, inspiring, intensely practical, and engaging, Impact the World will earn a valued place in the libraries of civic leaders, activists, social justice advocates, business executives, politicians, volunteers, public servants, and anyone else looking for a way to magnify their influence and impact in any area that matters to them.

Cornerstone advice for strong leadership Shelve this with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Recommended for anyone who sees themselves as a leader or future leader and who wants that work to matter.

So many books have case studies and stories that I’ve seen dozens of times before, the same popular headlines. But Impact the World gives the spotlight to so many individuals that saw a need in their community that they could help with - and dove right in to do just that! Incredible. We need more stories like these!

Meaningful life work is more than navigating a job search -- it's about inspiration, intention, and investing in yourself and in others. Impact the World offers both a broad perspective on how to create a vision and develop career potential and specific guidance from the stories of individuals who have transformed themselves and changed the world. I wish I'd had this book when I started out and am giving it to the college grads in my life.

This is a perfect graduation book for young people interested in developing a career where they make a difference in the world.
