So far in the conversation around #25Words we’ve explored our Internal Compass (the Discipline of Choice) and sharpened our Action Plan (the Discipline of Grit).
In this third section, Relational Capital, we’ve covered words for translating individual alignment into amplified, world-changing impact.
🏹 The Six Virtues for Collective Power
🤝 Trust and Generosity: These are foundational. Trust must be cultivated with your financial partners and within the collective as the bedrock of effective collaboration. Generosity is the strategic act of freely offering all five forms of your capital—Time, Treasure, Talent, Ties, and Testimony—to create a positive difference. Trust is the critical "6th T" that turns this individual giving into collective resilience.
❤️ #Empathy and #Kindness: These are not "soft" ideas; they are essential Change-Maker disciplines. Empathy ensures our investments and actions are informed by a deep understanding of the social and environmental challenges, leading to compassionate and effective results. Kindness fosters the positive human connection necessary for collective impact.
🫂 #Collaborative and #Community: By being intentionally Collaborative, pooling resources, and fostering Community, individuals move beyond isolated efforts. This practice of shared responsibility achieves a greater collective impact than acting alone, ensuring our wealth creates lasting change through the power of the collective.
👀 The conversation now shifts from "What am I doing?" to "Who am I partnering with to amplify my impact?"
We hope you'll join the mission: have a conversation about these 25 words, your values, and your capital (time, treasure, talent, ties, testimony… and even trust). As through this, our belief and experience is that you’ll feel more empowered to act accordingly. Find the words also on our #25Words pages and use the search to explore more from the book content and resources.
