From burned-out social worker to seasoned business coach with Paul Zelizer

Paul Zelizer is a social entrepreneur coach and the co-host of the Awarepreneurs Podcast.

He spent 15 years working in community mental health and tells Heidi about his journey from "burned-out, broke social worker" through a reinvention 16 years ago. Now he offers consultancy and coaching for impact-focused leaders. In this episode he covers:

• Using large organisations to lever impact.
• Securing work-life balance for a holistic life.
• The four questions every social entrepreneur needs to know.
• Why Paul is "impact agnostic" – and loves social enterprise.
• The power of podcasting to catalyse collaboration and learning.
• How he measures his impact.
• Scaling high-impact teams and organisations.
• Balancing innovation, learning and collaboration.
• And much more.

Heidi reflects on her and Make an Impact's approach to measuring and managing impact, why people might be "surveyed out" and avoiding generic impact measurements.
