We hear a lot about impact but what is it and how we can better understand it in order to maximize our impact on impact?

It is a change(effect or influence) on something or somebody:

  • situation(specific set of circumstances or conditions that exist at a particular moment in time)

  • system(accepted written and verbal norms to be appreciated or penalized)

  • environment(air, water, plants, other living species)

  • people(individual or group):

    • health:

      • safety(applies to both physical and mental)

      • physical(life quality: nutrition, sleep, fitness)

      • mental(well-being for fulfilling and productive life):

        • cognitive abilities/problem-solving(identifying problems, formulating solutions, and evaluating the effectiveness of those solutions):

          • continuous learn

          • think

            • clear

            • focused

            • creative(new and innovative solutions that may not be immediately obvious)

            • analytical(break down complex problems into smaller components)

            • critical thinking(analyzing situations or issues from multiple perspectives, viewpoints and assessing the validity of information)

          • reason(deductive, inductive, logical, evidence-based, critical thinking)

        • emotional(automatic complex psychological responses to stimuli that involve physiological, cognitive, and behavioral components: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust)

        • feeling(conscious subjective experiences derived from emotions)

        • social(quality of interactions and relationships with others)

        • psychological(conscious and unconscious processes of the mind and observable behaviors)

  • physical(tangible activities) or communication(brain muscle)

Impact outcome metrics:
