I’ve written a workbook entitled Develop Your Ideas: A Workbook for Changemakers. The book centers on people and purpose. The exercises in it lead changemakers to connect with people so that they build community along with their idea. And the exercises have them connect with purpose so that they have a north star to guide their priorities and decision-making.

Why did I write a workbook? In my 15 years teaching and mentoring, I have seen too many people with great ideas, especially women, get discouraged by the status quo path for founders. Whether I was in the classroom with creative students or in the community with inventive moms, I noticed how existing programs didn’t meet some of these changemakers where they were. So I wanted to write something that offered another path–a path that starts by connecting with people and purpose. The exercises in the book lead changemakers to connect with people so that they build community along with their idea. And the exercises have them connect with purpose so that they have a north star to guide their priorities and decision-making.
