Unleash your impact
We help you increase the positive impact –or the handprint– you have upon yourself and the world. Over the next year, you could save a human life, save multiple other beings, and make a thousand people a little happier.
The paradox
How can the world be so full of problems when most people want to do the right thing?
With few exceptions, most people are quite nice.
The problem
Despite our best intentions, most of us don’t have the positive impact we could, simply because we don’t know how to.
🚫 We don’t really learn social impact in school
🤔 It’s hard to know what actually improves the world
🤑 Society often incentivises the wrong behaviours
🥵 Changing our habits can feel scary and difficult

Learn the Basics of Impact
Enrol in our 6-module impact course, tailor-made to help you increase your positive impact as efficiently and effortlessly as possible.
The Programme
Most of our potential impact comes from a handful of key skills, habits and decisions. We take you through six key areas which all:
Have a high potential impact
Have an untapped potential
Can be improved fairly easy
Reinforce each other
Help the world and ourselves
Happiness and wellbeing
Positive impact starts with the impact we have upon ourselves. The happier and healthier we are, the better positioned we are to have a sustained impact upon the world.
Kindness and inclusion
Countless times every day we get to choose how we treat others. Opting for more smiles, more gratitude and more inclusion not only creates an instant positive impact, it also builds people and culture, creating ripple effects and lasting change.
Ethical eating
In recent decades, we’ve radically expanded our moral circle—abolishing slavery and advancing the rights of women, LGBTIQ+ people, and others. The next step is to extend dignity to all intelligent beings. Ending factory farming would not only achieve this but also address many of the most urgent challenges of our time.
Simple living
Simple living is often seen as reducing our footprint. But its real power lies in freeing us from chasing conventional success, allowing us to redirect time, energy, and resources toward what truly matters.
Generosity and equality
In a world of extreme inequalities, a bit of generosity goes a long way. Without major sacrifice, most of us could, within a year, save a human life, safe hundreds or other beings, or restore sight to dozens of people.
Communication
At the root of most global challenges lies how we relate to each other and the world around us. That’s why communication is key. By communicating better, we multiply our impact— inspiring family, friends, and colleagues to grow their own handprints.
