Impact Hero 2021: Great Opportunity for Change-makers in the Asia-Pacific

Deadline: 02-Sep-20

Earth Company has launched a call for applications for Impact Hero 2021 to select a one-of-a-kind change-maker that has the potential to transform the future of developing countries in the Asia-Pacific.

Impact Heroes are visionary leaders that are driven by bottomless passion and resolute determination to make transformative changes to the communities they serve. Moreover, they are not only role models for the next generations, but also have the innate ability to inspire the world.

Through their work, they aim to achieve paradigm shifts and carve out new, inclusive pathways that truly leave nobody behind and build a regenerative, sustainable future. This approach differs greatly from mere imitations of today’s advanced countries that face their share of social and environmental challenges.

For three years, to maximize their impact and potential as a leader they work side-by-side with the Impact Heroes to provide life-changing support including:

• leadership coaching,
• tailor-made fundraising,
• marketing support
• business development, and
• management consulting

• Authentic: Integrity and genuineness in the motivation of his/her life work.
• Irreplaceable: One-of-a-kind qualities and unique role that cannot be substituted for.
• Future-oriented: Aims to realize alternative futures characterized by inclusivity and regeneration.
• Passionate: Blazing passion, energy, and conviction that fuels his/her work.
• Inspirational: Extraordinary ability to inspire the world through his/her life work.
