Twitter Chat: How to Change the World—with a Day Job

Update: Thank you for a lively and informative chat! We'll post a summary here by June 1. In the meantime, you can check out the chat here: twitter.com/#amexleads.

 

 

The nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs we admire weren't born pioneers. Many were up to something different, even working 9 to 5 in an entirely different industry, before finding their calling as changemakers. So, what sets them apart? How can you leverage and lead from where you are without losing sight of where you want to be? And what’s the next step in your leadership journey?

Join the #amexleads Twitter chat on May 26, at 12 p.m. EDT, to learn more about how to drive social impact while balancing responsibilities, no matter what your everyday looks like.

  • Alex Budak (@AlexBudak), Co-Founder of StartSomeGood.com
