Megan J. Robinson


Chief Role Model

Who we are is not who we have to be.

Everything is broken.In politics, religion, business, and society, we see failure after failure: of leaders, organizations, systems, and narratives.We look around for people we respect, people who seem trustworthy, gracious: the best kind of human being.And we wonder where they are.We're not sure what stories to believe about ourselves or about the world. We don't know who to trust, or even why we should trust anyone.We're frustrated, disillusioned, and burned out. Everything we knew or trusted is devolving and deconstructing more every day.The more we look, the less we seem to find.

It's time to become the kind of people we want to admire.

We have a unique core identity, a self that exists beyond a job, TikTok, or the latest trend. But that self requires attention, effort, and care in order to become its fullest expression: our character.Our identity is permanent; our character can be transformed.But, we're too distracted by social media, by toxicity, by busyness, by disappointment and discouragement to attend to that self. We have no idea how to shape our own character.In order to connect with our self, with the person we want to become and admire, we need equipment for living.We need to seek out, and become, role models: those people who help us answer the question, “Who do I want to become? What’s possible?”
