It is widely understood that most of breakthroughs have been brought about by individuals who came from outside of the industry challenging the status quo and questioning why we do what we do. It is by transfer of ideas from one ecosystem to another that breakthrough innovation happens - innovation often happens at the fringes and boundaries when different industry domains collide.

In our work, we discover what people love and help make their lives meaningful until the end. Now, more than ever, we’re writing a story of collaboration, knowing we need others to join us — people whose values of equity, justice, and accessibility align with ours. We’ve noticed a growing trend of awards for local government and community service projects—often for work they’re already funded to do or for the recognition they seek. I wonder if we're focusing too much on accolades to influence funders instead of on meaningful, long-term outcomes for our community. As Jesse Owens said, “Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.” Actual progress is found in the relationships we build and the lives we transform, not by the number of awards we accumulate. What if we shifted the narrative? 🌱 Instead of awards, we celebrated sustainable impact. 🤝🏼 Instead of competition, we encouraged genuine collaboration. ✨ Instead of seeking recognition, we focused on quietly transforming lives. What would it take to inspire a culture that values substance over status? I’d love to hear your thoughts. #CommunityCentred #AuthenticEngagement #BetterCareForLife #TransformingLives #CollectiveImpact #SocialJustice #MeaningfulChange #Sustainability #FundingWithIntegrity I acknowledge the use of generative AI to create the accompanying image, which reflects the themes of our post.

The Power of Diverse Thinking for Human Growth 🌱 As a species, our progress has always been driven by diverse ideas, perspectives, and the courage to think differently. Neurodiversity is a shining example of this truth. “Neurodiversity is the art of thinking differently together, creating a world that thrives on the beauty of diverse minds.” — Toni Horn Imagine a world where we all thought the same way. Innovation would stagnate, creativity would fade, and growth would come to a standstill. Instead, it is our differences that propel us forward, challenge old ways, and spark the breakthroughs that shape our future. By embracing neurodiversity, we nurture a culture where every unique mind contributes to the collective growth of humanity. This isn’t just about inclusion; it’s about the evolution of our society into something richer, more empathetic, and profoundly innovative. Let’s continue to celebrate and amplify neurodiverse thinking, because it’s how we will continue to grow, adapt, and thrive. How do you embrace and encourage diverse thinking in your environment? Your thoughts are what make our collective future brighter. Let’s grow together! 🌱 #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #DiverseThinking #Innovation #HumanGrowth #PositiveChange #DiversityAndInclusion #NeurodiverseVoices #Empathy #InclusiveCulture #FutureOfWork #CreativeMinds #GrowthMindset #CelebratingDifferences #ThriveTogether #NeuroInclusion #WorkplaceDiversity #Empowerment

🌻 Narratives are a powerful form of invisible power, shaping societal "common sense" by embedding values and worldviews into culture. Repeated over time, they influence which voices and stories are valued, reinforcing societal norms—and sometimes sustaining dominant power structures. But, with intentional storytelling, movements can use narratives to challenge these norms, promote inclusive values, and reimagine a more just society. 🍯 The Conditions to Flourish report by Global Narrative Hive (GNH) delves into this "narrative ecosystem" of activists, NGOs, and funders working to build narrative power for social movements. The report reveals how narratives can empower movements, providing insights into opportunities, challenges, and the resources needed for lasting change. 🩷 We’re honoured to have created illustrations to this impactful project. From blossoming trees to interconnected webs, each piece reflects resilience, unity, and collective strength. This artwork goes beyond visuals, amplifying voices and embodying the spirit of transformation. Creativity and activism together can truly inspire powerful, lasting change. #artforchange #leadership #change #artactivism

Embracing the Future: Creating a More Inclusive Community As we look to the future, how can we create more inclusive communities that embrace neurodiversity? It can start with an important realization: We all desire and crave belonging. This universal need transcends backgrounds, abilities, and experiences. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from; feeling valued and included is a cornerstone of our human experience. An essential part of AbilityPath's mission is to build a better future for the individuals and families we serve. We recognize that to achieve this, everyone must actively work towards understanding and embracing neurodiversity. Each person's unique way of thinking, learning, and perceiving the world brings invaluable perspectives that enrich our communities and workplaces. * Educate Ourselves and Others: Knowledge is the first step towards acceptance. Let's commit to learning about neurodiversity and sharing that knowledge with others. * Create Safe Spaces: Develop environments where everyone feels safe to express their true selves without fear of judgment or exclusion. * Celebrate Differences: Acknowledge and celebrate the unique strengths and talents that each individual brings to the table. Fostering an inclusive mindset uplifts those around us and opens the door to innovation, creativity, and collective growth. Let's work together to build communities where everyone can thrive and feel a true sense of belonging. Together, we can make a difference. #Neurodiversity #InclusiveCommunity #Belonging #FutureFocused #CompassionateLeadership #AbilityPath #CampViaWest
