018 was a year of change for many of us. I am sure you know how it feels when you get that itch on January one when a New Year begins and how it feels when you know there is something you want to do to change the world, something you feel compelled to do. Living across and in-between cultures makes us often contemplate on how we can use our diverse skill sets and talents to implement social impact and change. In this column, I want to share a story with you on how to people from different cultural backgrounds started a show called Vehicles of Change (VOC). VOC is a show hosted by two self-described change makers from vastly different industries, interviewing other vehicles of change to understand the mindsets, situations, and motivations that help them change the world. Danielle Tate (the American) and, I — Claudia Koerbler (the Austrian) — were worried about the state of the world and realized that exactly this state of unconsciousness contemplation about international development, entrepreneurship and international affairs is a pivotal time to join forces and host a show that focuses on positivity and change. By listening to the journey of other game-changers you can find ways to negate anger and hopelessness around and find your unique cultural power to affect positive change.
