What if the way we’ve been taught to make change is actually holding us back?

In this episode of How to Change the World, host Catherine Alonzo is joined by consultant, author, and systems-change strategist Heather Hiscox to explore what’s broken in the way changemakers approach impact - and how we can do better. Heather is the founder of Pause for Change and author of No More Status Quo, a powerful call to action for leaders ready to disrupt outdated models and create lasting change through experimentation, empathy, and equity.

Together, Catherine and Heather unpack some of the biggest frustrations changemakers face: slow-moving systems, resistance to innovation, and the pressure to have all the answers. Heather shares her proven approach to overcoming these obstacles by shifting from rigid plans to testable solutions - ensuring that communities are not just consulted, but centered. With stories from her own journey and lessons from the field, Heather offers listeners a practical, people-first framework for doing good better.

This episode is a must-listen for nonprofit professionals, civic leaders, and mission-driven organizations looking to elevate their impact in a rapidly changing world. Tune in for refreshing honesty, actionable takeaways, and a new lens on what it really means to lead change in 2025 and beyond.
