Twenty-Five Inspiring Leaders featured on first season of the Agency for Change Podcast

It wasn’t all bad, plenty of good things came to fruition in 2020.  One was the launch of KidGlov’s Agency for Change podcast.

Hosted by KidGlov leaders Lyn Wineman and Kelley Peterson, this podcast tells the stories of people creating positive change in the world. Whether working in large companies or nonprofit organizations, in small advocacy groups or as solo agents for change, we explore what inspires these changemakers, the work they’re doing and how they share their message. Each of us can play a part in positive change—and these are the people who show us how.

We have received great feedback on the question that asks each individual to provide us with an inspirational quote. A few have provided us their favorite words from others, many shared their own words of wisdom.

Here is a summary of these inspiring quotes with episode links so you can give them a listen.
