How do we turn words into action? With Paul Van Zyl and Piumi Mitchell

“Well done is better than well said.”     You might have heard that famous saying from Benjamin Franklin. And it’s one that reminds us of the importance of action over words. But what does it take exactly?    When it comes to solving some of the world’s biggest problems or doing business in a more sustainable and responsible way, there’s no shortage of people talking and theorising.    And that’s a good thing. Hearing and learning from others is important. But right now, the world needs more people driving impact as opposed to simply just talking about it. So, how do we encourage businesses and leaders to take that next step?     That’s what we’re exploring with Paul Van Zyl, Co-founder and CEO of The Conduit, and Piumi Mitchell, Head of Social Impact Partnerships at Deloitte UK, as we ask: How do we turn words into action?

Tune in to find out:

• Why right now is the best time in history to be fighting the big issues
• How Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu shaped Paul's thoughts on collaboration
• Why asking, "So what?" is so important 
• Why collaboration and purpose is more important than power
