What we discussed: 

  • Colleen’s change-making work in the area of volunteerism, the non-for-profit sector
  • How we traditionally interpret words like “volunteer” and “menopause” and why that must change
  • Choosing to compromise vs what we will never compromise on when it comes to our  life’s work 
  • How important paradigm-shifting language is for rethinking how we see the world 
  • The power of language and the words we use 
  • Continuing to do our work even when we know we won’t necessarily live to see the impact
  • Being forward-thinking enough to ensure there is a way for others to continue the work we’ve started
  • We explore the language of being a changemaker and how it makes us feel to use words like paradigm shift, social construct, and rhetoric 
  • Why using phrases like “forest person” and “tree person” is a preferable way of describing big and small picture thinking 
  • How things may be difficult or hard, but they don’t have to be impossible.
