Absolutely! We have a lot of passion and talent around, and it can make a huge difference.

Really resonated. "The system" as a mental construct feels impenetrable, immovable, but it's made of parts and people and processes, and it's worthwhile to try to make small changes where it feels possible, so I don't feel like I just sat back and shrugged.

Thanks, Stephanie. The little changes all add up and build momentum 💜 It’s hard to remember at times but it’s true.

Great post! Gosh, focusing on those ‘little ducks’ makes all the difference!

‘How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? I mean, it’s the system. It’s amorphous, unwieldy. Not easily wrangled, captured and tamed.’

This made me think of my first job. A ‘joke’ I heard when I got back from a spell of medical leave was: ‘How many (company name) staff does it take to change a light bulb? One, and she’s off sick.’

I love this. Not being able to change it all ourselves is no excuse for not doing what we can in our own spheres. We can all make little differences, and those add up.
