The world has been processing the outcomes of the US election. Since this publication is read by changemakers across 18 countries, I offer my reflections on what that event can teach us about our work of remaking the world for the better.

In a bit of a deviation, this is a purely audio post. In it, I acknowledge the heartbreak so many feel, argue that the US election helps my long standing efforts to bust the myth that people hate change, and explore humility as a healthy balancer to the hubris implied in changemaking. I also reflect on the moral superiority — the “us” and “them” — that tends to plague progressive movements, wondering if we might shed it, and warn against the binaries that tend to define our comfort zones when we’ve been shaken.
Have a listen (forgiving the clumsy ending, please) and let me know, in comments, what resonates, and anything you’d like me to explore further.
Thank you for listening!
Elena
