A weekly podcast, hosted by Cecilia Edwards, sponsored by Wavestone, that discusses ways in which business leaders accelerate societal change with the resources they control and the social capital they wield; bringing light to the unique position they hold to enable collaborative transformation across stakeholder groups
In this introduction to the first season of the podcast, I uncover the inspiration behind this podcast, my journey, and my Collaborative Transformation Framework.
I discusses my experiences at Smith College, the U.S. Air Force, Berkeley Business School, and BCG that led me to believe in collaborative efforts for significant societal change. As a partner at Wavestone, I’m committed to applying my extensive experience in business transformation to societal change.
I invite listeners to join me on this journey as I explore my guests’ motivations and contributions towards caring for our planet and its people.
The Business of Impact is for all of us – to inspire us to act, share insights, and highlight the importance of collaborative efforts for accelerated change.
Let’s make an impact together.
