About
Welcome to the Shift: for people who want to believe the world can be made better, and who want to know how. Started by me, Kat Thackray, in 2024.
Each week, I share stories of positive impact, interview thinkers and role models and discuss ideas, research and strategies.
I bring like-minded people together over food and movement to talk, collaborate and inspire each other.
I believe in the uplifting power of community and a shared vision, the value of generative anger, and the ability of each of us to contribute towards fixing the world’s broken systems.
Welcome.
My big questions
There are questions that I’m always looking to understand more fully. These drive my reading, my conversations and my curiosity. If you have clues, please get in touch!
- Why are we how we are? What makes us humans, societies, organisations? Why and how do we get in our own way? Can we change that?
- What environment is needed to enable change? How and where can we create it?
- How can I create and maintain community? What could ‘community’ mean in the modern world, and how can I nurture it in my own life?
