Author: Deloitte UK November 9, 2021 Duration: 46:53

Many of us are trying to change something. No matter who we are or where we live, we want to make our corner of the world a little bit better for those around us.

Around the world, people continue to inspire us by standing up for what they believe in. Climate school strikes. LGBTQ+ rights. #MeToo. And Black Lives Matter, to name a few. 

These movements are all vital if we're to create a more equal society on a thriving planet. But that doesn't mean it's easy. In fact, changing something is really hard. What we see as an overnight success is usually years in the making.

So, you want to make the world a better place. How do you identify what it is exactly you want to change? How do you share the journey as you gather momentum? And importantly, how do you keep going when things get tough?

Tune in to find out…

  • About the experiences that lit a fire in Peter's belly
  • How Kalvinder learnt the art of patience in making change
  • Why George is feeling more positive about his next conga
  • How we can all make a difference in our lives every day
