The ripple effect of change making, with Carlos Terol Humans At Work

- Careers
“I think that’s where we need to use our power as global citizens and keep putting that pressure on Governments and corporates. I believe that corporates are driven by profit and Governments are driven by votes. That’s what they want, so it’s us that we can actually force them to change. If we start putting pressure and being loud about what we want, ultimately, when we build this critical mass of people, they’ll have to change.”
“But if you can connect with three, four, five people in your street, in your neighbourhood who has aligned values to you and want to change the world, that gives you a really special power that virtual connections can’t give you. Suddenly you can go for a walk and have a chat face-to-face; you can have a meal together, talk about it, come up with ideas, brainstorm and start running things locally. I think once we tap into that power of seeing how many people there are around you that want to change the world, I think we will change the world much, much faster.”
This episode of the humans at work podcast features conversation with Carlos Terol, Impact Entrepreneur, owner of Terol Engineering and Good Ripple champion.
Carlos and I talk about what it takes to make change happen, how to be an active change maker, and what drives him to champion the concept of community collaboration and community action. We dive into his personal journey to knowing his purpose, and how incentives need to be rethought to drive innovation and regenerative approaches to building, infrastructure, government spending among other things.
Carlos and I talk about:
His journey from wanting money and sports cars to being a globally-known influencer for good
How civil engineering can contribute to sustainability
Better incentives for sustainable building and infrastructure planning
Biophilic design opportunities and changing traditional mindsets
The geographical roulette of where you’re born dictating your opportunities
The concept of global change makers and how to connect and collaborate
Finding your sense of value and contribution
Not postponing starting doing something for impact
The joy and inspiration of conversation and connection
Defence against despair and inaction
The criticality of non-measurable things
The Good Ripple concept and the power of local connections.
