That's why Carrie Fox's latest #FindingTheWords focuses on John Paul Lederach's call to "Choose to Understand." Because some of the most revolutionary acts we can take to improve our social fabric are also the most simple.

What does it mean to orient your life around your #mission? We talk about mission all the time around these parts, but when was the last time you stopped, took a deep breath, and embarked on the discernment journey around not just what you do in the world but what you want to leave behind when you're gone from it? In this episode, Carrie Fox is joined by John Izzo, Ph.D., author, and advisor who has dedicated his mission to helping companies and individuals find theirs. Dr. Izzo shares that he believes that we're at an inflection point, where we could create a more #regenerative society or head down a darker path. The choice is made by the #cultures we create.

Are we headed toward civil war here in the United States? That’s the question renowned #peacebuilder John Paul Lederach is asked with increasing frequency. In an op-ed in The Washington Post, he draws forward lessons and stories from his newly released “Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War,” Dr. Lederach says “the best way to end a civil war is to stop it before it happens.” From his work in conflict zones around the world, Dr. Lederach shares inspiring stories of people around the world who have defied violence and pursued peace. As America faces deepening divides, political violence, and #polarization, everyday people may be asking themselves what role they play in breaking the cycles of violence. Indeed, everyday people's courage, relationships, and humanity are the key to bridging divides and choosing a different path forward. This is a #MustRead for anyone committed to peace. Please help share it far and wide. Op-ed: https://lnkd.in/egr3TwNk Pocket guide: https://lnkd.in/gH2FNyiV

How can leaders of #SocialImpact organizations build equitable pipelines of leadership to sustain their missions? In this rebroadcast episode, Carrie Fox is joined by Christina Legg Greenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of diversity-focused talent management firm Edgility Consulting to solve this question. How can social impact organizations close skills gaps in order to nurture well-rounded leaders? Where are potential successors today, and what experiences do they need to get them ready? How can succession planning apply to all levels? True #SuccessionPlanning requires looking beyond ego to the future health of the institution and its social mission. As Greenberg says, “What I would just tell people about this process is it’s hard and daunting and scary, but just take it in bite-sized pieces."
