Nous ne sommes pas tous faits pareils. Ce qui nous motive, ce qui nous passionne, nos valeurs, nos priorités dans la vie, tous ces traits font de nous qui nous sommes, avec notre style particulier, avec nos besoins particuliers, avec nos tocs particuliers. Cette semaine sur Au-delà de la thèse avec Papa PhD, je t'apporte un autre trésor de la voûte – ma conversation avec Mrim Boutla, où l'on trace des liens entre la neuroplasticité, les différentes approches à l'expérience du doctorat, et les stratégies gagnantes d'exploration de carrière et de recherche d'emploi après le doctorat. Mrim Boutla est une docteure en neuroplasticité devenu coach de carrière. À l'Université de Brown et à la Kelley School of Business (Université de l'Indiana), Mrim a encadré avec succès des centaines de diplômés en arts, des MPA, des MBA et des docteurs pour qu'ils obtiennent des emplois leur permettant de maximiser leur impact et leurs revenus. En tant qu'entrepreneure social, Mrim a reçu le prix AshokaU/Cordes 2013 pour avoir lancé More Than Money Careers en partenariat avec le Dr Mark Albion (professeur fondateur de Net Impact). Le logiciel MTMCareers a permis à plus de 5 000 diplômés de se familiariser, de réseauter et d'être embauchés pour des stages et des emplois qui allient compensations financières et impact social et gestion de l'environnement. Mrim fait office de mentor pour les startups par le biais de I-Corps, HeraHub, NETVA et AccelerateDC. Mi-Suisse et mi-Marocaine, Mrim a été la première de sa famille à suivre des études au-delà de la 9e année. Elle a commencé son parcours aux États-Unis en tant qu'étudiante F-1 et est devenue citoyenne américaine en 2015. Mrim a obtenu une licence/maîtrise en psychologie à l'Université Catholique de Louvain, en Belgique, une maîtrise et un doctorat en sciences cérébrales et cognitives à l'Université de Rochester, et a effectué son stage postdoctoral en neuroplasticité à l'université de Brown. Au-delà du travail, Mrim aime les voyages à l'international et regarder les matchs de la NBA avec sa fille. Ce que tu apprendras dans cet épisode : L'intérêt de bâtir ta mosaïque de passions durant ton doctorat ou au moment où tu commences à explorer tes choix de carrières possiblesChoisir un domaine d'activité professionnelle, c'est shoisir une tribu qui reflète tes valeurs et tes passionsLe chemin vers ton emploi de rêve n'est pas une ligne droite, mais un ensemble de moments souvent inattendus tissés ensemble par tes choix à chacun d'entre euxLes quatre piliers du transfert de compétences développées au doctoratLes perles de sagesse de Mrim:« Je trouve que vraiment qu'on est des êtres très, très sociaux et, donc, trouver ta tribu de personnes comme Papa PhD ou autre, ça te donne un tramplin vers l'espoir, ça te donne un tramplin vers le chapitre prochain. Et c'est ça, en fait qui me donne ma motivation à moi quand je vois dans les yeux ou dans la posture des gens que d'un coup, d'un seul, ils trouvent "Ah, oui! C'est ça dont j'ai besoin pour bouger le Schmilblick un petit peu plus." Et c'est très individuel, mais dans les articles LinkedIn que je partage, je donne beaucoup de ces ressources pour qu'ils puissent un petit peu regarder qu'est-ce qu'il y a d'autre et qu'est qu'il y a ailleurs. »« J'ai découvert autour de moi qu'il y a des gens qui sont fascinés d'accumuler données pour découvrir et comprendre. Et ça, c'est vraiment les académiques. Mais moi, j'étais fascinée de découvrir pour comprendre, mais ma compréhension devait donner place à de l'action, à du changement, à traduire cette découverte dans quelque chose de tangible qui va aider les gens à se comprendre, à comprendre les autres, et puis à bâtir ces ponts de compréhension mutuelle et de résolution de conflits. Et je sais que si je reste dans le domaine académique je peux faire du beau boulot, mais je serai 80 % de mon temps devant MATLAB à analyser des images d'IRM. Et je déteste ça.

And then we wonder how it is that professional baristas, managers, and owners burn out on a regular basis.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Mohan: I'd call my superpower troublemaking.Mohan Sivaloganathan, known by some as the Batman of social impact, is the CEO of the national nonprofit Our Turn by day and a hip-hop artist and speaker by night.Our Turn organizes student activists, helping them to find their voices and stories, empowering them to change the systems that constrain or limit their potential.Mohan shared an example of the work and its impact:One of our partner organizations brought together dozens of school board members from across the country. It was a community-building space. It was a training space. They were grappling with some of the issues that I already alluded to: the culture wars that are breaking out, the fiscal cliff that is coming soon with the expiration of ESSER funding, the fact that many districts are already dealing with deficits, attendance crises, and the continued mental health epidemic that young people have been dealing with, that increasingly educators and more are dealing with.So as they were thinking about all these different issues, what I appreciate is that many folks recognize, “Hey, we need to make sure we are directly hearing from students as as a part of this.”And so they reached out to us and said, “Hey, can you have some student leaders from Our Turn come and present at this convening?” We said, “All right, great.” We had to get together travel plans, a presentation and a curriculum quickly and try to figure out how it could work within the context of what school board members were thinking about.So the lens that was applied was how do you do authentic student engagement, equity-centered student engagement within the context of budgeting? And how can you think about participatory budgeting in a unique way? Our students doing what they do; they absolutely knocked it out of the park. They pulled back the curtain. They delivered this wake-up call and a call to action to the folks who were in this breakout session. So it was a breakout session featuring student leaders.They talked about how young people want to be engaged and involved. Here are some of the pros and cons in that process. Here's how it can work within the context of participatory budgeting. So it was something that was very actionable. It wasn't just hypothetical and values-based, but it was something that was very actionable. Fast forward to the end of the conference, where the organizers were bringing everybody back together into the main hall. People had engaged in all sorts of learning, including our session and others. The organizers stood on the main stage and announced, “Hey, we had student leaders from Our Turn who were in a breakout session, and it was amazing. Next year, they're going to be right here on the main stage.”That was recognition that everybody had who happened to be in that small room with students, that young people deserve the microphone, that in this time where there is such deep polarization and division, animosity, cynicism, you name it, within our culture in the US and within schools, they are the group of folks who are the best positioned to lead a more hopeful and aspirational vision.Mohan attributes his success in building the organization to his ability to stir up what the late civil rights giant John Lewis called “good trouble.”AI Episode Summary* Devin Thorpe interviews Mohan Sivaloganathan, CEO of Our Turn, on the Superpowers for Good show.* Mohan is a social justice advocate working towards changing education and empowering students.* Our Turn aims to help students discover their agency to shape their future and create a just and thriving education system.* The organization trains young people to be effective storytellers, advocates, and changemakers.* They tell the stories of young people to understand their experiences and aspirations for the future.* Our Turn turns the tables on decision-making by helping young people shape their own efforts and campaigns to bring about tangible changes in the education system.* Mohan provides an example of student leaders presenting at a school board conference to discuss authentic student engagement and participatory budgeting.* The organization focuses on individualizing education and breaking away from the one-size-fits-all approach.* Mohan identifies his superpower as "troublemaking" and emphasizes the need to shake the status quo through voices, action, and culture.* He shares an example of using his troublemaking superpower to inspire and motivate leaders after the 2016 presidential election.How to Develop Making Good Trouble As a SuperpowerMohan's goal to make good trouble extends beyond his work at Our Turn and includes his speaking and performing. He shared an example of how he used his superpower immediately following the 2016 presidential election, leaving many in his community feeling disappointed–or worse.In November 2016, I was invited to an event that had 100 plus young next-gen emerging leaders who were working across the corporate sector and nonprofits. I was invited to come to this convening in DC and to speak and perform. This was about one week after the election—the US presidential election in 2016. Literally, as soon as I walked into this room, it was it was just it was dark. You could feel it. It was somber. There was this really tense, thick emotion that was that was in the air. I was in that room; I was feeling that, too.I was feeling disappointed. A few days before, I had people in my office at work. At the time, I was working in Human Services in New York. Folks were crying. Folks were literally crying in my office. This was a tough place for people to be able to navigate out of. So, I revised the remarks that I was planning, literally right there as I was in the room. I go onto stage, and I start with a performance of a song called “Our Time.” I performed the song and then, from there, delivered some remarks to the audience.The theme that I tried to share with people is that it's moments like this are why we're here. It's why we decided to take on a purpose-oriented field of work. It's why we've shaped our leadership in a certain way. It's why we've built this type of community. Yes, we're holding disappointment and sadness, and we need to try and find the fuel, the energy, the motivation to be able to still charge forward and to recognize this is indeed our time. This is our place, our moment. This is where we're supposed to be. This is a time to agitate more than you ever thought—not to fall back and to feel like, hey, it's not my moment anymore.But no, actually, this is your space. This is your lane; this is my space and lane. Let's go out and be louder and bolder than ever. I went off the stage afterwards and talked with a few folks. Multiple people came up and said, “Hey, look, I was thinking about literally leaving this field of work. I was thinking about leaving the nonprofit space, leaving this purpose orientation. I think it was going to be for me anymore. But I found the fire again. thank you.By heeding Mohan's message and following his advice, you can make good trouble a skill you add to your quiver. With practice, it could become your superpower, enabling you to do more good in the world.Superpowers for Good is a reader-supported publication.

You'll learn not just how to make investments via crowdfunding but how to make money doing it.Many impact crowdfunding investors focus on impact first. I admire the approach but note that a goal for maximizing impact is best accomplished by making money. It works two ways. A company that goes out of business has no impact after it dies. One that grows profitably can do unlimited amounts of good. Furthermore, if the investment delivers financial results to you, you can reinvest and do more good as an investor!If you're focused primarily on making money, you'll find this session helpful, too.

In social impact partnerships, we often talk about ‘unlikely bedfellows '—partners with whom you may not expect to collaborate but whose collective impact is transformational. The alliance between GOOD Worldwide Inc and Net Impact, however, just makes sense: These two powerhouse organizations have long rallied and amplified some of the most important figures and voices in social impact. Now, they've come together with Upworthy to create the GOOD Institute, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to address social issues, drive social action, and reimagine the possibilities of our shared future. To share more about this new endeavor, we welcomed to the show Peter Lupoff, CEO at Net Impact and GOOD Institute, and Max Schorr, Co-founder, and CEO at GOOD Worldwide Inc. Listen for Peter and Max's insights on: How this groundbreaking alliance came together, and the unique strengths each organization brings to the Institute—from Net Impact's 160,000+ members to Upworthy's growing digital audience. Why collaboration and ‘think tank' style hubs are critical to solving some of the world's most challenging social issues in innovative and inspiring ways. How GOOD Institute is bringing together next-gen talent, global policy leaders, and some of the world's most iconic companies to drive change.

To conceive that you, one out of over seven billion people, can have an impact on bettering the world is difficult. However, you can. In this week's episode we break down the injustices in our globally shared food systems that perpetuate deforestation, the exploitation of low-paid workers, contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and overuse of our natural resources. In this episode our guest Mirsa Freed, member of Net Impact, shares with us the ways she has altered her own diet and lifestyle to stray away from aiding such destructive systems and shares how others can too. Join us this week to find out how you can have an impact.

Nadine Tapia, 2020 Graziadio MBA graduate and president of Tapia Beauty Group, joins us as a part of Pepperdynamic's collaboration with Net Impact to flesh out how to put into place sustainable business practices. She and co-host @TheKiaJoon discuss the transition from learning higher level concepts in school and applying them in the real world. The two also touch upon reasons for pursuing higher education, even when success is not the only metric for doing so.

Robert Bikel, Director of the SEER (Socially, Environmentally, and Ethically Responsible) Program, and Instructor at Pepperdine, joins host @TaiMBrown to explore sustainable business practices. Under the umbrella of Patagonia, Bikel demonstrates his vision in action by using a real world example of a SEER organization.

How has climate change increased our vulnerability to power outages like the one we saw last week in Texas? By what means has the privatization of energy resulted in disproportionate access to affordable and quality energy sources? What are modern energy grids, and how does energy storage play a role in the future of sustainable energy? These are just a few of the questions that co-hosts Catherine and Laith break down with the previous President of Net Impact, Melissa Rath. On this episode Mel shares her insight of the energy systems that currently run our country and the sustainable alternatives that should be. Join us this week to find out more!

Every year, 450,000,000 condoms are sold in the United States.  In this episode, we speak with Meika Hollender, the creator of the "world's most sustainable condom", and the founder and CEO of Sustain. Sustain is a line of all-natural sexual wellness products. Meika is on the Board of Net Impact, and is also the author of “Get On Top,” a guide to reproductive and sexual health. "In the consumer products space, the idea is that you're going to reinvent the product, make it more sustainable and healthier. That's what consumers are demanding today," says Meika. "We built a movement and a conversation. In reflecting, we built a sexual wellness category."

The fashion industry is stuck in a toxic cycle of overproduction and overconsumption, posing a monumental problem to environmental sustainability and human health. On this week's episode of Brace For Impact, Catherine and Laith welcome Net Impact member, Randall Gee. Together they break down how the industry has transformed, the role consumers and corporations play in it, and the harmful consequences it has. Randall shares his thoughts on the importance of conscious consumption and how thrifting and shopping more mindfully are actions we can all start taking to be part of the solution.

Climate change and its disastrous consequences disproportionately impact marginalized communities. On this Episode of Brace For Impact, Catherine Blocker and Laith Matari invite the president of Net Impact, Julia Carlin, to discuss Environmental Justice. They highlight the importance of this movement and discuss how minority communities around the world are most affected by pollutants, global warming, and discriminatory climate policies. Together they shed a light on the depth of this problem and how truly heartbreaking it is.

In the two weeks since his inauguration, President Joe Biden has wasted no time in unraveling Trump era policies and ushering in his own. In this week on Brace For Impact, Catherine Blocker and Laith Matari welcome Vice President of NU Dems and Net Impact member Ryan Wallace. Together, they dive into Biden's climate policy: what has already been done, the effectiveness of these policies, the anticipated effects of his agenda, and what we should expect to see next. There's even a little glimmer of hope - how such a partisan issue will soon produce bipartisan support.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Terrence Dillion & Hilary Allen of Up to Us. The student team from Jackson State University has won the fifth annual Up to Us Campus Competition, which provides the opportunity for students across the country to raise awareness and engagement on America's long-term fiscal challenges. The winning team from Jackson State will receive $10,000, recognition at the Peter G. Peterson 2017 Fiscal Summit, and the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. to meet with America's legislators and policymakers, voicing their concerns on America's economic future. The competition launched in 2012 in partnership with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, Net Impact and Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U), and with just 10 schools. Now five years later it has grown into a national movement of student activists that have engaged more than 100,000 people on America's national debt, with a focus on finding non-partisan solutions.  Up to Us empowers the millennial generation to build a prosperous future by equipping them with training and resources to help them become young leaders that drive change in their communities.
