From Inspiration to Impact: Let’s Create Significant Impact in the World - Wisdom4Humanity

Thank you for joining Significant Impact Monthly. And I'm going to start today with a definition of the word significant impact. And you've heard this before, but I think it's important to remind ourselves why we're on this call. So Significant Impact Monthly. So what is impact? Being in lovely Purdue where I'm at, I've talked to a lot of engineers. Sean, you know this, you know the space. We're both Purdue grads. Boiler up. Boiler up. Ever true. So being around a lot of engineers, the word impact, you know, we think about impact in our world of like, oh yes, I gotta have impact. And being a chemical engineer, when I hear those terms, I hear physics terms and in my head pops little formulas. Yes, I'm kind of crazy that way. But when I hear impact, impact is the kinetic energy transferred from one object to another. That's what impact is. So when we talk about having impact, We talk about impact as we want to inject some kinetic energy to move people through decisions, actions, Aikido. So, so that's what impact is. It's, it's like getting in there. So, so again, I, I think about that, and recently I've thought about it's kinetic energy. Hi everybody. Today's Significant Impact Monthly. And today I'm going to talk about— that doesn't work. That doesn't work. There's no— there's energy. We're here together, but the impact goes down because there's not kinetic energy in it. Bring some enthusiasm to your world. So that's impact. And then significance. And we talk about significance. Significance. The Dalai Lama is significant. We have significance in our life. And again, I, I'm, I'm an analytic geek, so I look at significance as a statistical term. It's deviating from norm or expectation. And when you think about leading people, as we all are leaders, it's really hard to lead from the middle of the pack. So in that sense, leaders are deviants. They're out in front, they're taking the risks, they're out of their comfort zone, right? All those pieces, that makes you deviant. And, and I like to think of our Significant Impact community as positive deviance in the world. So, so that's what significant deviance is. And that's why you're here, is to make your, your significant impact in the world.
