Global Citizen co-founder Michael Sheldrick has released new book ‘From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World' via Wiley.
As co-founder of Global Citizen – an international education and advocacy organization with the mission to end extreme poverty worldwide – Sheldrick has worked with governments, businesses, foundations, the artist community, and everyday citizens to distribute over $40 billion around the world over the past decade. In his new book he delivers an inspiring and insightful discussion on how to implement social impact by driving policy change.
This book reveals key characteristics of successful policy entrepreneurs – visionaries bridging the gap between promises and real-world outcomes. They are practical implementers who put impact first, resisting the urge to pursue the instant dopamine boost that comes from simply winning arguments at all costs. They are connectors and networkers who build diverse coalitions and broker win-win solutions to address our current implementation crisis.
‘From Ideas to Impact' is an indispensable guide for individual changemakers, philanthropists, corporate social responsibility (CSR) practitioners, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) professionals, higher education students, corporate foundations, and policy makers.
“Drawing lessons from our work together with former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, this book offers actionable steps to make a difference and drive social impact. It brings the sustainable development objectives at the heart of the global community where each citizen has a role to play for the planet, prosperity, and people.”- Michelle Yeoh, Oscar-Winning Actress and Producer, and UN Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador; Jean Todt, Former President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and UN Special Envoy for Road Safety.
