56. How to be resilient while navigating change - with Peter Ptashko - Social Business Coach

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Ptashko, a remarkable individual with experience in the world of social enterprises and foundations. Our conversation revolved around two crucial aspects of promoting social change: resilience and authenticity.

Peter's wealth of knowledge and expertise in mentoring social startups became evident as he shared his insights. He emphasized the importance of resilience, explaining how it serves as a driving force for individuals and organizations to overcome obstacles and make a lasting impact. Peter's own journey in the field has taught him that setbacks are inevitable, but it is our ability to bounce back and learn from these challenges that truly propels us forward.

Authenticity, according to Peter, is another key ingredient in effecting social change. He stressed the significance of embracing one's true self and values when working towards a greater cause. By staying true to our beliefs and principles, we can inspire others and create a ripple effect that leads to meaningful transformation.

One aspect of our conversation that particularly resonated with me was Peter's emphasis on the value of lived experience. He highlighted how individuals who have personally navigated significant periods of change bring a unique perspective and understanding to the table. Their firsthand knowledge allows them to connect with others on a deeper level and provide invaluable guidance and support.

We also delved into the concept of sustainability, which Peter believes is crucial for long-term social change. He challenged the current systems and called for progressive actions that prioritize the well-being of both people and the planet. By adopting sustainable practices and questioning the status quo, we can create a more equitable and inclusive society.

As our conversation drew to a close, Peter had a powerful message for global audiences. He encouraged individuals to embrace their authenticity and use it as a catalyst for change. By being true to ourselves and our values, we have the power to make a significant impact in our communities and beyond.
