Inspire Change Honoree:
Sylvia Morrison
Founder, Links Across Borders
We believe that leadership resilience, innovation, and authentic connection should be accessible to everyone. That is why attending the Forum is free. This Forum is only possibly through the generosity of sponsors who stand with us in ensuring these critical conversations continue. See below for details on how you can partner with us.
The Today is the Day International Changemakers Forum brings together thought leaders, professionals, and visionaries from around the globe. In this ever-changing environment, we know that transformational moments are shaping our lives, brave shifts are being made, and powerful and positive outcomes are possible when we connect authentically. Walk away with new connections from outside your sphere of influence, a new perspective on topics that matter, and ideas you can put into action immediately. We know your time is limited, so why not make Today the Day (October 23) to do something that will have a lasting impact in your life both personally and professionally?
The day of the event you will be able to choose two breakout sessions that you would like to attend LIVE via Zoom. This is not a webinar experience.
Rising Through Uncertainty: How to Lead with Resilience in Unpredictable Time
Explore how leaders across sectors have navigated instability and sustained mission-driven momentum without losing authenticity or impact.
The Burnout Breakthrough: Rewriting the Rules of Work and Wellness
How individuals are creating sustainable success by embracing rest, boundaries, and self-awareness as tools for change.
Louder Than the Scroll
With endless content flooding every feed, how do you make your business stand out without shouting? This session unpacks how heart-led marketing, mission-aligned messaging, and genuine visibility you rise above the noise – and actually connect with the people you’re here to serve. Because when you show up real, you’re already louder than the scroll.
When Fundraising Follows Purpose: Navigating Change Together
In a rapidly shifting world nonprofits, social enterprises, and donors are being called to lead with trust and relationship over transaction. This conversation explores how organizations can stay united and effective through moments of change – whether navigating mergers, mission, pivots, or times of transition.
Becoming Who You Haven’t Met Yet
Sometimes the most powerful transformation comes not from doing more, but from getting still enough to hear what’s next. This session is about mental renewal, self-compassion, and creating a space for true reinvention.
Entrepreneurship as a Global Connector
Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful tools for creating opportunities, breaking cycles of poverty, and sparking innovation across borders. Here we will share practical strategies for funding, collaboration, and growth that work in both developed and emerging markets
