We're so excited about this talk with Mentor Dida! Here is his description of the 60-minute session:
We spend so much time talking about how to change systems. But we rarely stop to ask: Who is the one trying to change it?
I grew up during the war in Kosovo. I’ve seen what broken systems do to people. And I’ve also seen what courageous humans can rebuild. Over the years - working with changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and leaders - I’ve noticed something simple but often ignored: The quality of the change we create is directly connected to the identity we carry.
In this 60-minute session, I’ll invite us into a deeper question: Who are we being while we are trying to fix what’s broken?
Through story, reflection, and practical tools, we’ll explore how the way we see ourselves quietly shapes the systems we design, the power we hold, and the change we attempt to create. We’ll look at what it means to expand identity - beyond Me, beyond role, beyond “expert” - so that the change we create comes from wholeness rather than reactivity.
This isn’t a tactical workshop. It’s a grounding one. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of who does our future needs us to be today.
