In order to effect change, it seems we need 5 crucial steps:

    Be willing to See and acknowledge the issue we need to change;

    Decide you are in fact going to Do something about it;

    Connect with others to gain support, new ideas and collective
    clout;
    Find ways to Sustain your own energies to ensure you don't burn
    out; and

    Use your experience and energy to Inspire others to take action
    so we make the change become exponential.



    On that basis we asked Simon what he thinks ...

11 What issue do you see or come across that awakens the creative disruptor in you, and why does it matter to you the way it does?


 
2 What action are you actually taking to tackle this, and how do you feel about what you do?


 
3 How important do you think it is to reach out to and work with others as you work for this change, and how do you do it?


 
4 How do you keep that fire in your belly alight without it causing you to burn out? How do you sustain your energies and look after you, and crucially, what's your advice to others?


5 Positive change is contagious. Sometimes all that's needed for someone to take action is to see someone else doing something about it. So ... how do you use your experience to inspire others? 


 
And finally ... if someone came up to you in a pub or a cafe and said they were fed up/enfuriated/anxious about something they felt was wrong or needed to change...what would you say?
