Connect with Alain Volz:

For over 20 years Alain has worked as a change management consultant. He started his career with Royal Dutch Ahold, at that time also the 3rd largest supermarket retailer in the USA. He introduced competency based human talent management in the Netherlands working for a top 3 consultancy company called Twynstra Gudde. In 2006 he became board member of the Center for Human Emergence, a foundation focused on transformative societal change & conscious business. In 2011 representative leaders from the Dagomba tribe in Ghana invited him to co-work with them. Their call was "international trade is not serving our communities & development aid is not in alignment with our needs & tradition. We don't need people coming here, telling us what to do and how to do it. We need partners who can truly engage with us. Those are rare and that is why we have invited you here". Though many projects are more than successful, the communities are suffering from economic repression more than ever before, and is Dipaliya struggling to find funding for scaling up their activities

About Ian Westmoreland - Founder, Mentoring Men & Kintsugi Heroes

After spending 42 years working in the Australian and New Zealand telecommunications and energy industries mainly as an IT project manager, Ian Westmorland left it all behind to pursue a life of volunteer work.

Initially, he spent time volunteering with the Raise Foundation, Kidshope, and COACH mentoring programs. Until 2018 when he began searching for an organization that provided free long-term one to one “life” mentoring to Australian men. Not finding a suitable program to be in existence, he began the development of the Mentoring Men program in June 2018 and the program was officially launched by Julian Leeser, Federal Member for Berowra in November 2018.

In addition to Mentoring Men, he has established another “passion project” called Kintsugi Heroes which provides uplifting and inspirational content to people who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing significant life challenges.

Ian has been married to his lovely wife Helen for 40 years, they have 4 children and 12 grandchildren together.

S1E21 - Success Looks How I Want It To Look

A lot of the time we're measuring ourselves, not against our own success, but against an image or a definition that's been imposed upon us from some other place. Sometimes that's society, family, friends, or employers who define what our success looks like.

Success looks how you want it to look. You alone have the ability to determine what success is. You do not need to adhere to the expectations placed upon you, you can be successful just as you are. Stepping into your power can be tricky when we have an image in our brain of what we think we're supposed to be doing to be successful. That image can be so powerful it sways you to careers you aren't interested in and time spent trying to live to someone else's expectations. This episode explores what being successful on your own terms looks like, especially for people of color or children of immigrants.

Wondering if you are worthy of manifesting your dream life can be a barrier for people who want to make social change and have an impact in their community. 'Helpers' often struggle with asking for compensation for their efforts because they are not motivated by it. Rather they are looking for ways to influence societal change and build a legacy where the world is different.

In this episode, we talk about how self-worth and self-confidence can propel you forward and help you tackle challenges ahead. Several Latinx community members share their perspectives on how Latino families struggle to show validation to young people and the worthiness issues that arise because of this.

Join like-minded social impact entrepreneurs & non-profit leaders as we discuss this and other social issues, business, and opportunities for collaboration.
