A few months ago, I asked changemakers to fill out a survey<\/a> describing their biggest challenges and sources of support. Over 100 people filled out the survey, and almost 80 percent of respondents left their contact information, which allowed me to send some followup questions. Everyone was extremely generous in not only filling out the survey, but in sharing it with others, which helped me get a more diverse pool of respondents.<\/p>\n

Here’s my analysis of the responses:<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below! You can also\u00a0download the anonymized data<\/a> and do your own analysis. (If you decide to do this and want to help me do pivot tables in Excel correctly, let me know! I had to use all sorts of spreadsheet hacks to find what I was looking for.)<\/p>\n

My goal in doing this survey was to listen to as many changemakers as possible and to explore possible ways that I can help empower them further. I don’t have any new ideas yet, but I do feel like I have a better grasp of the obstacles that changemakers face as well as the opportunities to help them. I also felt like the results helped validate my Changemaker Bootcamp<\/a> experiment and gave me language to help describe it.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who filled out the survey, and special thanks to all of you who went out of your way to share it with others. Thanks also to those who took the time to answer some followup questions and to those who reviewed early versions of the survey (partial lists in the deck above).<\/p>\n

Finally, many thanks to Amy Luckey, who was invaluable in helping me think through and analyze the survey results!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
