What Impact Means to us: “‘Door slam’ moments often arrive when least expected. Those life events that startle us and feel like the pathway we were travelling has been cut off. Door slams often have enough impact to motivate change. They can also floor us – emotionally and financially.  It’s not easy to prepare for these moments – like redundancy, divorce or a health issue – life events have a way of sneaking up.  So when impact strikes and a door slams, being on top of your financial wellbeing counts. In 2020 the human race all had a door slamming moment. A scary virus with scary media.  The biggest impact on most of us is uncertainty.  The biggest concern is money and health.”

Speaker: Kirsten Forgione, Director & Psychologist

Impact Topic: MYNDLY: Why understanding the mind is critical for work, and life.

What Impact Means To Me:
The definition of impact, as stated in the English dictionary, is “coming into forcible contact with an object”, and “having marked effect or influence”. And whilst this definition, in my view, captures the essence of impact – that is, to effect or influence – I believe it overlooks two important ideas, that capture what impact means to me. Specifically, that; a small gesture can also have marked effect or influence. And that having an impact on someone, means effecting or influencing them to think, feel or do something differently (or in a way they had not thought of before).
