Creating real-world change is hard.

Corporate engagement isn’t about angry letters or “throwing your weight around.” It’s about putting your shoulder into solving some of the world’s most challenging, most important problems. It isn’t easy. It isn’t quick. But it is good, hard, HOLY work. And it is work best done in community.

Chris provides a deep dive into the fascinating, thoughtful, hard work of creating real-world change through shareholder advocacy.
