What Do You Do to Be Involved in the Community?

What do you do to be involved in the community? Let’s be real — being involved in the community ain’t all cookouts, feel-good panels, and Instagram-worthy service projects. It’s work. It’s showing up when nobody’s watching. It’s caring enough to get uncomfortable.Me? I stay involved by refusing to look away.

Virtual Screening + Live Panel Discussion: Public Lands, An Opportunity for Grassroots Change | Patagonia

Synopsis: “In a time of growing polarization, Americans still share something in common: 640 million acres of public land. Held in trust by the federal government for all citizens of the United States, these places are a stronghold against climate change, sacred to native people, home to wildlife and intrinsic to our national identity. But today, despite support from voters across the political spectrum, they face unprecedented threats from extractive industries and the politicians in their pockets. Part love letter, part political exposé, Public Trust investigates how we arrived at this precarious moment through three heated conflicts—a national monument in the Utah desert, a proposed mine in the Boundary Waters and oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—and makes a case for their continued protection.”

VAST Spotlight – Catherine Corley: Igniting Grass Roots Change

We are excited to introducing Catherine, VAST Advisor and principal of 4C Consulting as she shares with us her experience on being an effective Agent of Change.

Have you ever wanted to make a difference, generate a lasting change or adopt a new personal habit? Catherine has learned that creating and fostering a great company requires careful thought and consideration about several factors beyond having a great product or service.  Two factors to consider:

1.       You must pay close attention to social intelligence factors such as attracting people with similar values who are aligned to your long-term vision

2.       Expectations: transparency in expectations between you and others based on their values, your relationship or a concrete agreement, fosters the trust and confidence needed to grow.

These factors, combined with creating and adopting a Code of Conduct enable opportunities for increased efficiency, personal gratification and enhanced outcomes in both your personal and professional life.  

To learn how to ignite your own Grassroots change, Join us on September 26th in Seattle at The VAST Conscious Commerce Conference or visit www.vastinstitute.com
