Invitation to Impact, a book about the founding of Impact100 by Wendy H. Steele

Make Waves

Be the One to Start Change at Work and in Life

I wrote Make Waves because deciding to make a change – and then taking action – was behind every important goal I’ve ever reached. Change is the constant undercurrent in our lives, so our only choice is to learn to thrive and keep moving in ambiguity.

Make Waves gives you the strategies, tools, and ideas to start and navigate change in your work and your life. We would be experts by now if we only needed a great change model! But change depends on changing human behavior – our behavior. So, I studied those who had started successful changes – from entrepreneurs to college students to community champions and business leaders. I added that research to my decades of experience advising clients on change and created the Wave Maker DNA – a profile of those who activate change.

Using the Think.Know.Do framework, we start by exploring how you think about change—which determines if you’ll ever start. Then, we discuss what you need to know and learn in this new situation.
