What is a Changemaker?
In a world where things are always evolving, there remains one constant: those who want to effect positive change. This may mean changing something within yourself, creating change for others, or challenging the status quo that surrounds us. Some may have already taken great strides in creating, connecting, and inspiring, while others may be starting their journey and finding their way. Whoever and wherever they are, these are the changemakers.
At the Changemakers Forum, you will meet and hear from those who have decided to stand in their power - visionaries, leaders, and everyday people who create extraordinary change. These are individuals who have made courageous decisions, embraced transformation, and stepped forward because they believe in their right to lead, to speak, and to make a difference. Their stories remind us that one powerful choice can shift not only a life, but entire communities.
How it all began?
The Today is the Day International Changemakers Forum was born from one decision — a promise I made to help people not just talk about what they want to do, but find a way to do it. That promise led me back to school to become a certified professional coach, so I could support leaders, teams, and organizations in building the courage and connection that fuel sustainable growth and lasting profitability.
What began with coaching grew into the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, amplifying voices around the globe, and ultimately into this Forum — a table built for visionaries, leaders, and everyday people who choose authenticity, stand in their power, and create change. This is a space where every voice matters, and where those still searching can find the tools and courage to build their own table.
Our theme this year reflects the truth that growth begins when we lean into change. From pivotal moments to courageous decisions, every brave shift creates the possibility for powerful outcomes that ripple far beyond ourselves.
