Most people never made an "impact". All they did was produce 'outputs' or 'outcomes'. 🔍 So what is an Impact? It’s not just what you do. It’s what CHANGES because of what you did. Impact is not measured in reports, interviews, or pilots. It is measured in Transformation — of lives, systems, thinking, and futures.
