What is most important to you in your life?

If you’re someone who wants to change the world, life can get a bit complicated. You’re trying to support yourself….and chase your dreams. You are trying to do good…and not get fired. You are trying to show up for the people who need you…and not get or spread COVID-19. You are trying to figure out your life purpose… and anything else to do this weekend besides binge Netflix.

If you have a bigger mission that is calling you, but haven’t been making much progress, you’re not alone.

Social media is designed to be addictive. Your email is a minefield of clickbait. Our workplaces (even now that they’re virtual) are often built around filling the hours and feeling “productive,” but not necessarily getting the most important work done — and that was before you had the added uncertainty of a global pandemic.

The world we walk through is meant to clamor for our attention. Distractions are baked in to daily existence, even in places where, in the past, demands couldn’t reach us – now, everywhere is reachable, and yet, connecting with others is harder.

Information streams into our eyeballs and into our ears everywhere we turn. We are constantly feeling busy and behind. The time is full, and passes quickly, but when we look back, it doesn’t feel like we’ve done what’s most important – what we set out to do.

And while so many people are feeling this way, it can be easy to feel alone.

What would it feel like to feel achieve your most important goals with the help of an intimate community of support?

The Antidote: Community + Coaching + Consistent Action

I know you’re not alone in trying to make progress and not moving as fast as you’d like. I’ve been there, and so have my clients.

We know we need to take time to reflect, to prioritize what is most important, and to take consistent action toward our big visions for ourselves and the world, but if you are anything like me, when you’ve tried to do that alone, it looks like: pushing yourself until you crash, showing up for everyone else except your self and your scariest projects, then feeling depressed and lonely, and then lying in bed in despair not wanting to get up, deciding you never really wanted to do that anyway, or just simply never getting started.

It really doesn’t have to be that way. Changemakers in Action is a program designed to support purpose-driven folks like you in making progress on the things that are most important to you — the projects, dreams, and goals that are burning up your heart – while actually enjoying your day to day life more.

The Changemakers in Action group is more than just a life or social impact group mastermind, where people sit around and talk about what they would do. More than just a study group, or a bunch of accountability buddies. It is the beginning of a movement — a movement of people who believe that changing the world starts with changing yourself. That starting with joy in your life gives you more power to stand up for what is right. More power to create new things. More power to make magic happen.

In a world where we are taught to ignore what we feel and that injustice is “just the way it is,” it is a movement of humble, practical idealists who know that the biggest challenges get solved when we each take our own share of responsibility for them — and that the most creative ways to solve those problems can be discovered with joy, fun, and light-heartedness.

Is this for you?

This program is for mission-driven people who want to take action, but not just in any way, and not at any cost. It’s a program for people who want to take action in a way that feels good and supports their whole being. It’s for people who want to take meaningful actions that are aligned with who they are and who they want to become.

This program is for you if you believe that the small, quiet voices in your heart and your gut are important. That your health, your happiness, and your relationships are important. It’s for you if you believe that your life mission is important, and that finding how it wants to be expressed in the world isn’t always as simple as “just do it.” If you’re not “just doing it,” it’s probably because you are hung up on a particular challenge, and there is important information there to learn from. That’s where the power of coaching + community + action comes in.

By showing up for yourself and your small group, and taking consistent, meaningful, aligned action, you can create change in a way that is positive and lasting.

You can do this. I’d love to help.

Hi! I’m Lindsey A Rogers. I’ll be your coach throughout our six month journey together.

If you don’t already know me, here’s a Cliff’s Notes version: I’m a leadership and social impact coach for visionary social entrepreneurs, creators, and change agents doing work that changes the world. I help people like you get out of their own way, grow in their leadership, and find and walk their true path — the one that gives them the most joy and their highest level of impact.

Beyond my training and experience as a coach, I have more than ten years experience working in and with impact-focused organizations. I’ve coached both experienced and early-stage social impact leaders through pivotal decisions, built and led hiring processes, and created new fundraising models and operational infrastructures.

In this program, I’ll help you get and keep moving forward in a way that is most aligned with who you are and who you want to become.

Ready to become a Changemaker in Action?

Changemakers in Action is a unique, small group coaching program designed for people who are ready to change their lives, grow in their work, connect with their communities, and change the world.

When you step into a six month Changemakers in Action group you will:

Achieve meaningful personal, professional, and community goals

With a small group to show up for, it’s hard to go wrong. You will have me and two other committed, engaged people to help you strategize your next steps, navigate the obstacles that life throws in your way, to cheer you on, and to celebrate your wins.

Love your day to day life more

We start with ourselves. How you are feeling in your daily life is actually critically important to your effectiveness, so we start there. If all you’re doing is beating yourself up every day about how far behind you are and how you aren’t working hard enough, or haven’t done enough, you’re wasting your energy. But if you invest even just a small amount of time and attention to feeding your essential self, you will be amazed at how much more energy you have.

Feeling whole, happy, and connected to your purpose in life is a crucial place to start – we find meaningful ways to take small consistent actions that support you as an individual. We remain connected to how you’re feeling throughout the entire program.

Realign your relationship to work

Align the work you do day to day with your deeper purpose, in whatever way feels most important to you at this moment in time: whether it is searching for a new job, renegotiating your current role, leading an intra-preneurial initiative within your company, building your team to free you up for the next level of work your organization needs you to do, or simply bringing your values to work in a more tangible way.

Reconnect to a community of purpose

You will bring your goals and your mission out into your interpersonal world, starting with your fellow Changemakers – people like you who care about their lives, about their work, and about their impact. Together, you supercharge your projects and connect with the broader Changemakers in Action movement. You’ll have a collective cheering you on and sharing both the challenges and the wins of living a deliberately impact-focused life.

How the Changemakers in Action Program Works

Changemakers in Action is a virtual, small group program that takes place over six months. After applying and being accepted into the program, you are matched to a “tripod” of awesome people — you and two other changemakers — based on your goals and your availability.

Tripods meet every other week for ninety minutes at a time — the perfect amount of time to combine action + accountability. The power of three means that everyone gets focused, targeted attention on each call — and with two other folks counting on you and cheering you on, the accountability to each other is very real.

As a group, your tripod will journey through three program units of approximately eight weeks each:

YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOURSelf

You are the fundamental unit of change, so if you don’t take care of yourself, you aren’t very effective. Plus, you can’t give what you don’t have. This unit focuses on filling up on what you need from yourself to make a big shift.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR WORK

Is your work working? In this unit we focus more in to how to bring our work lives into alignment with our values and goals, how to feel happier and more fulfilled in our work, and how step into the next level of professional mastery.

YOUR mission in the world + work in YOUR COMMUNITY

For some people their work is their way of connecting with their community – for others, it’s the people in their immediate family, and for others, it’s the world at large. This is the unit where we explore how to bring who we are and what we’re about out into a space beyond our previous boundaries. It’s about connecting, combining and catalyzing with those outside yourself, whoever you define those people to be.

Once each unit, all the tripods will unite virtually for a weekend Spark Day, where our powers combine to make one bursting energy ball of forward movement. And at the end of our six month journey together, we’ll will culminate with one epic All-Changemaker Launch Day.

Program Dates

Your tripod will meet every other week from the week of November 2nd, 2020 through the week of April 26th, 2021. You’ll be able to share your preferences for which recurring time and day of the week would work best for you on your application. All of the tripods will also combine for four big virtual all group days:

Three Virtual All-Changemaker Spark Days:
Saturday, December 12, 2020
Saturday, February 6, 2021
Saturday, March 20, 2021

Capstone All-Changemaker Launch Day:
Saturday, May 1, 2021

I would recommend this program to anyone who thrives with support, but who is an introvert, like me, or anyone trying to get to a certain place in their life but who is standing in their own way. I joined Changemakers in Action to get clarity around creating a business, and to try and get out of the bad habits that were keeping me from taking concrete steps towards doing it.

Now I’m thinking about myself differently. I’m no longer in the space of constantly asking myself, “why can’t I do that?” Instead, it’s like my blinders have come off: I’m seeing what’s behind those behaviors, and doing something about that. Changemakers in Action forced me to break down big challenges into pieces, and focusing on each of those pieces gave me new discoveries, new ways of looking at things that were actionable — that I could then do something about.

Focusing on me as the person who was driving my organization has had a positive effect on my organization itself. I have more confidence about my ability to be a leader in my organization and in my life, and I have more confidence about how I’m going about what I’m trying to do.
