Listen "Unsung Heroes: Becoming A Change-Maker - Paul D. Lowe & Drumm McNaughton"
Episode Synopsis
Paul is joined again by Drumm McNaughton again, this time to talk about how to become a force for positive change in the world - a topic that a lot of us have been thinking hard about over the last year. How do you turn yourself into a ‘change-maker’?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Change in itself is simple, but people – and their belief systems – make it complicated and resist change. Icebergs are a great metaphor, you only see the output, not the processes and the structures beneath those that need to be changed. Without changing people’s ideas and thought processes you’ll never have change.
People’s value systems are changing, young people are demanding change and older people are seeing that times are, and need to, change.
Eastern religions explain the change from a lower to a higher age and some of our beliefs just don’t work anymore.
Change used to be done from the top down, what we’re seeing since Occupy Wall Street was that people became tired of the way the economy was being run and we’ve seen it with the Arab Spring, Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements. These are driven by social media.
BEST MOMENTS
‘What we’ve done to the planet and economy just doesn’t work anymore’
‘boards of directors need to recognise that everyone is a reporter with a camera’
‘Change is a very long four-letter word, but its implications are massive’
‘Without faith in your leadership you’re never going to change’

ABOUT THE HOST
Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
From an early age, he was in the vice-like clutches of the demon drink and constantly embroiled within a dark cocktail of toxic beliefs, self-hate and destructive violence.
Along with his empathetic and dedicated team of world-class coaches and mentors, Paul’s purpose is deeply transformational:
Developing World Game-Changers…
He is extremely passionate about helping others to find their purpose, have a voice and ultimately, make a real difference.
This has been built on a long and distinguished history of heart-centred coaching and mentoring. He has also been responsible for raising significant amounts of funds for many charities and good causes around the world; positively impacting and inspiring thousands of children – mainly from challenging backgrounds – within the UK & worldwide.
Through this World Game-Changers podcast and books, he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
