World-Shaking 101

Want to change the world (and perhaps your career in the process), but aren't sure where to start?  Look no further; here's the best resource you could ever ask for.

World-Shaking 101

Many of us have marveled at the simple beauty of the Arthur Ashe quote, "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."  It's just a spot-on phrase that never fails to remind us to get out of our own way, stop making excuses and start plugging away at whatever we've been procrastinating against.  And now, when it comes to the matter of changing the world for the better, there's a brilliantly-cultivated website you can tuck neatly into the "use what you have" file and refer to it often, because you're unlikely to forget it once you've caught a glimpse.

iOnPoverty is an ever-growing online repository of videos, articles and other points of inspiration for those wanting to make the jump into social entrepreneurialism and careers focusing on global progress.  Like the mentor we all wish we'd had (and perhaps some of us were lucky enough to claim) at the beginning of our careers, iOnPoverty offers a boundless collection of no-nonsense advice and tools to navigate the leap as deftly as possible from a ho-hum, "Office Space"-like existence to one of impact, growth and change.  With titles like "Scared Sh*tless" and "Where the F*** is Liberia?" its multimedia library pulls no punches when it comes to real talk, explaining the ins and outs of truly making a difference with one's career.  

Founded by Jonathan Lewis -- also a teacher at UC Berkley's Blum Center for Developing Economies and the creator of the Opportunity Collaboration "un"conference as well as a microfinance organization empowering women in 22 countries -- iOnPoverty has the clear voice of an older sibling who's been there, done that, and wants to impart wisdom in an uncensored way that's easily understood. Its mission is to help everyone from the fledgling college graduate with big dreams to the person considering a mid-career shift into something more meaningful, all with the same message first spoken by John F. Kennedy:

"One person can make a difference, and everyone should try."

iOnPoverty in a Nutshell

For those who are interested in a career in social change, iOnPoverty offers "uncensored, no-BS conversations with the info you need to get hired and make a difference."  By sitting down with "pathfinders" who have paved their own way into social entrepreneurialism, the site gives no-frills access to change agents worth listening to through its extensive library of videos and articles giving direct advice and inspiration to tomorrow's world-shakers.
