Here Are Five Cultivators, or Changemakers, You Should Know About (Part 2)
We believe in storytelling. One story has the power to start a movement.
By amplifying Cultivator voices, we hope to inspire other Cultivators (like you) to make change happen within their organizations.
Cultivator noun: An unnamed leader scattered throughout the landscape of a really big organization. She shows up every day committed to the organization's vision, bringing fresh insights and ideas to work that may or may not directly apply to her job description. She is constantly finding ways to challenge the status quo.
