According to physics, an impact is caused by the momentum generated by mass and movement. How does that relate to you? Well, executive life coach Jason Bernic says the impact you make can be as small as having a conversation with a friend or as big as going viral on social media. “Even if you make an impact on one person, it can change their life, which is an impact. Hammering a nail, exerting a force on a small area, can make as powerful an impact as an earthquake that lifts a truck,” he adds. Here are practical ways to make a difference:
Add your voice
We live in a digital era, and having an online presence allows you to elevate the conversation from a social perspective.
Movements such as #BlackLivesMatter and #GBVMustFall, popularly referred to as hashtag activism, have gathered momentum. Adding your voice can offer a different perspective, which can spark progressive conversations about a movement that already exists. Don’t let the fact you only have a few followers stop you. If you boast a big following, that’s even better. Consider using your platforms for positive change.
