About Possibility Project

Welcome to Possibility Project! We are a growing community of disruptive changemakers reclaiming our power through meaningful sparks connections and actions. I co-created Possibility Project in March of 2020 when COVID hit the U.S. with the dream of making this moment matter and wanted to have the conversations we were having in dark corners about dysfunction in the social sector at scale. My name is Heather Hiscox. I am the CEO and founder of Pause for Change and I work with nonprofits, local governments, and philanthropic foundations to help them address challenges and pursue opportunities in less time, using fewer resources while achieving greater impact. I am also the author of the book, No More Status Q: A Proven Framework to Change the Way We Change the World, which is a step-by-step guide for frustrated changemakers, full of stories of inspiration and simple steps to co-design more impactful solutions. You can get your copy anywhere you buy books online. You can learn more about the good trouble I'm causing at www.pauseforchange.com or connect with me on LinkedIn.

   Microdisruptions: The Seeds for Good Troublemaking

   I was joined by three stewards of what I consider the "troublemaking triumvirate", Community-Centric Fundraising, Crappy Funding Practices, and More Than Grant Writers! Rachel D’Souza, Patrice Shumate, and Dr. L. Kris Gowen, who joined us to talk about how, now more than ever, we can all engage in challenging the status quo. Be with us to explore how every post, conversation, letter, march, and email matters and contributes to collective action.

   The Ancestry and Lineage of Changemaking

   As a changemaker, have you ever felt insignificant, like a speck of sand in the universe and stream of time? Have you also felt and seen the ripples of your kindness and support, that made you feel connected to your humanity and purpose? We want to explore the duality and accompanying spectrum of emotions, while also considering the change and changemakers who have come generations before us and the struggles, dreams, and status quo challengers who will continue long after us. With amazing guests Deborah A., Dr. M. Gabriela Alcalde, and Dr. Kim McLear, we want to explore the complicated dynamics of our pasts, these current tumultuous times, and the opportunities for all of us to be good ancestors as we co-create unknown futures. Join us and invite others who could use connection and inspiration!

   Moving Beyond Imagination: Courageous Creativity for Action

   In these currently challenging times, how do we both accept and influence our realities? While imagination is helpful, what would it mean to take creative action? While liberation can be aspirational, what does it mean to harness the irrepressible human spirit to change the future? Aasim Shabazz, Steward of the Twin Cities Innovation Alliance led us through an experience that: - challenged the realities we consume - acknowledged the struggle of alignment - disrupted patterns in how we think and respond - redefined what is within our control - helped us equilibrate to better access renewal, rejuvenation, and regeneration.
