What impact would you like Do Something Different to have on the world?

  • We set up the company to make a difference in the world, to help people have better, more productive, socially responsible lives they can take responsibility for.
  • Much that passes for education, training and behaviour change generally has almost no transformational power. The Thinking Trap is very powerful and deceives. I want to give Doing more of the action…

If you want to predict the future, invent it.

Ray Richards

What do I do?

Make sure as an organisation, we practice what we preach. Making sure we balance the need for healthy habits and routines with the need to be curious.

Three reasons I am working on Flex

  • I want to avoid striving for the life the media portrays as success. I want to define and strive for my own version of success.
  • Because thinking changes nothing unless it leads to a change of what we do. Doing changes results. Doing changes thinking.
  • I’d like people to embrace the idea that uncomfortable is part of the process and that different results are on the other side.

What do I do?

I’m usually on top of the technical side of things, mainly the development and delivery of the system, assuring that everything runs on track and smoothly.

Three reasons I am working on Flex

  • Doing something different sounds so simple, and is so powerful.
  • I have always loved the passion and excitement that the Do Something Different team had, so when I had the opportunity to be part of it, I didn’t think twice.
  • I want to make the world a little bit better than it is at the moment. Flex is a good start and not that hard, considering the loads of new opportunities that we face everyday.

What impact would you like Do Something Different to have in the world?

  • Although I like to plan, I dont think the end impact of Do Something Different is predictable. Seeds are being sown, and some will flourish probably in an unexpected place.

Words to live by

“I am tired of being called a radical. I don’t think I’m radical, I don’t think you’re radical, I don’t think we’re radical. What’s radical about what we want? We want economic justice, we want civil rights, we want jobs, we want hope, we want public transportation. I’m a radical? No, I’m not a radical. I don’t have four hundred thousand troops assembled in a desert wearing scuba diving suits to bring me more oil than I’m already choking to death on. That’s radical.” Barry Crimmins

 

Tom Hall

It seems scary before you take the first step into it but once you learn how to leave your comfort zone – you’re winning.
