I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Alex Budak, social entrepreneur, professional faculty member at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and the author of the forthcoming book Becoming a Changemaker.

Alex shares some Bus Ticket moments in his own life that led him to his current role at Haas. Then some highlights from his 'Becoming a Changemaker' course, broken into 3 buckets:

1. Key traits to developing a Change maker mindset.

  • Resilience
  • Empathy
  • Flexibility
  • 2. Key practices to develop when developing Change maker leadership.

    • Creating a vision
    • Influencing without authority
    • Using purpose as a way to motivate
    • 3. And equally important - going from ideas to Change maker action. In this section Alex shares insights about the toolkit he brings to empower his students as Change makers:

      • Change maker canvas
      • Seed funding
      • MVP - Minimum viable project
      • Loved his closing comment, "Change making is a team sport. And it needs all of us to lead from where we are."
