WE the Change Launch

Join Shannon Wallis and her panel of non-profit and social enterprise leaders to learn how they have transformed their businesses and communities by working collectively and following the roadmap outlined in WE the Change. The one-hour event includes a reading by Shannon, a panel discussion with organizations who exemplify this approach and a guided exercise to create your vision.

Originally inspired by a desire to leave her daughters a lasting legacy, WE the Change grew into a book and roadmap for anyone yearning to transform their life, organization, or community. Blending her life-changing experience walking El Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile medieval footpath across Spain, with 30 years as an organizational change and leadership consultant, Shannon’s intent is to encourage and guide you step by step through the challenging terrain that every woman faces when she’s trying to launch something brand new. Gandhi said to create change, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” As Shannon reflected on her own practice of “being the change,” she realized that we do this best when we work with others. Women, in particular, tend to be more adept at building community and working collectively to get things done. With a roadmap and our relationships, we are more likely to WE the Change to realize our individual and collective dreams.
