Expanding on Capacities to Change the World

I call these items “capacities” because they provide definition to our vessel in life. They determine what we can do, who we can be, and where we are. Each of us is absolutely limitless in our capacities. The following attributes are what I’ve experienced and observed are useful when working to change the world.

16 Capacities to Change the World

After more than a decade of teaching people around the world how to do it, I’ve decided to share this list of key skills, abilities, knowledge, and dispositions. They’re based off my life as I’ve worked for social justice, and they are what I’ve seen consistently in my mentors, heros, and students. These capacities make the difference between people who talk about changing the world and people who actually change the world.

Empower Your OWN Self!

YOU, personally, can empower your own self, right now. I call these the “Steps to Self Empowerment” but ironically, they aren’t steps at all. Instead, they’re like stones on a path that you can follow, or skip, or walk around.

It's striking to me how often we mistake people doing the things we want them to for engagement. I want to foster authentic engagement driven by real interest and desire that's reflected in repeated and sustained choices, instead of measuring people being time-on-task, their stroke gestures, or simple task accomplishment outcomes. Maybe that's just me though. I’m fascinated by how the world is catching up to this idea, but using new language. We STILL need #youthadultpartnerships though. Learn about them at the link in my bio. #youthwork #youthservices #youthprograms #organizationalconsulting #linkinbio You know, just hanging out in the mountains with some regrowing burned up forests. Apparently this is a thing I do… #pnwlife #forestfire AWESOME! Check out the first-ever academic review of my book STUDENT VOICE REVOLUTION at the link in my bio.
