A change maker is someone who spots opportunities for positive impact and creatively innovates to fulfill them, inspiring others to join their mission for the greater good. They embody values like resilience, integrity, and vision, often serving as catalysts for social, environmental, or technological change. The term was popularized by figures like Bill Clinton and Bill Drayton, linking it to social entrepreneurship. Successful change makers are visionaries who lead with commitment, innovation, and collaboration. Developing change makers in others is crucial, as exemplified by initiatives like the Port of Tyne’s Change Makers talent program.
