Why I created it

Change is challenging. Getting started can be easier.

The first steps often feel uncertain and overwhelming.

If you feel that way, you’re in good company. In working with thousands of changemakers around the world, I’ve heard the same thing from students, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and seasoned executives alike.

I created the Changemaker Canvas to help you move from an idea you care about to a clearer vision, a thoughtful strategy, and practical next steps. It also helps you communicate your idea and bring others along.

Use it on your own, with a team, in a classroom, or at the start of a new initiative. I hope it gives you the clarity and confidence to take your next meaningful step. I can’t wait to see what you make possible with it.
