Change your mindset. Achieve your goals. Make an impact. Connect internationally.

What is a Changemaker?
In a world where things are always evolving, there remains one constant: those who want to effect positive change. This may mean changing something within ourselves, creating change for others, or challenging the status quo that surrounds us. Some may have already taken great strides in creating, connecting, and inspiring, while others may be starting their journey and finding their way. Whoever and wherever they are, these are the changemakers.

At the Changemakers Forum, you will see that anything is possible, both personally and professionally!

What is the Changemakers Forum?

Join changemakers from around the globe at this live international virtual forum as they share stories of how they launched their changemaker status, their expertise on topics that matter, and their insight on reaching goals during the most challenging times. They include guests who have appeared on the first season of the Today is the Day Changemakers, from CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and CNN Heroes to non-profit professionals, authors, motivators, and more.

Today is the Day Changemakers, hosted by Jodi Grinwald on YouTube and on multiple podcast platforms, provides weekly content to connect listeners to real stories from real people who are making a real difference in their corner of the world. It is currently followed in nearly 280 cities in 23 countries.
