Here's how you can build a personal brand within the social impact industry.
Social impact is an incredibly unique space, as everyone wants to see each other win. That said, energy attracts energy. Beginner's mentalities are embraced. Some reflections rom my journey: -Keep your network apprised of your learning journey and offer your insights on it. An email newsletter can be a nice personal touch, doesn't need to be frequent. -Ask questions. There are no wrong ones. -Reach out cold and establish common connection when you digitally encounter someone of interest -Take time to piece together your ever-changing story so you can tell it. You're the best candidate to do so.

You're passionate about social impact. Which emerging technologies are reshaping the sector?
Blockchain creates instantaneous transparency because of how data is stored and shared where anyone with a connection can view it. Thus, there's added accountability for organizations leveraging it, but there's also more by way of immersive consumer engagement and shared ownership. We recently launched a climate action campaign with TIME Magazine where participant actions were measured, also leveraging the technology to gamify participant activity. Everyone who took action earned points redeemable for real-world utility (e.g. donating them to pay to them forward, entering a sweepstakes to earn an electric scooter). The technology can be used to align interests through shared ownership.

You're facing resistance from stakeholders on social impact changes. How can you get them on board?
Not only are pro-social initiative the right thing to do, but pro-social companies are good for business, if deemed authentic. In a time where impact is being largely overshadowed, moving in silence can showcase commitment, speak to attractive product attributes, and provide an edge for when impact is front & center again. IT WORKS: Mission-driven enterprises grew by 1681% compared to the S&P 500 at 118% from 1996-2013, according to Conscious Capitalism Institute co-founder Raj Sisojdia (as cited in his book “Firms of Endearment: How World Class Companies Profit from Passion and Purpose”). DEMAND IS THERE: Recent research points to 87% of consumers saying they would buy a product because of the company's social stance on an issue.
