Maybe it’s not just trolls but a well-wired machine. Networked disinformation might be the new battlefield.

Regulators or lenders? Network maps blur the line.

Sometimes networks are real and angry— not just viral bon mots manufactured for clicks.

Strategy isn’t about org charts. It’s about networks, blind spots, and who’s really moving the story.

Maybe not the first but certainly not the last… “Kabul on course to be world’s first capital city to run out of water” ground.news/article/kabul-…

Just putting this out there… if you’re not following #WaterlilyWeighOff2025 you are missing out (on finding new amazing botanical gardens).

✈️ En route to #Stockholm #WorldWaterWeek to reconnect, reflect, & maybe play a little Buzzword Bingo. 👀 Stay tuned for moments, maps, & a blog on the most overused words in water: 💬 collective action 💬 collaboration 💬 acceleration 💬 innovation #SWWW2025

Ah, buzzwords. #SWWW Day 1 hit them all: fit-for-purpose, innovation, unlocking finance, resilience—plus talk of implementation gaps + new metrics. Words are only powerful if they lead to real change. 📌 Friday: The 4 Questions Every Buzzword Should Answer #WWWeek2025

Big terms like innovation, resilience, collaboration sound great at #SWWW — but the real test is the next 10 words that make them real. #WWWeek2025 #waterresilience

I planned to post this Friday. But the voices at #WorldWaterWeek made it clear: I couldn’t wait. We say collective action, collaboration, innovation — but do we mean anything? New blog on the power & failure of language in water work: 🔗 connectingforchangellc.com/blog/glossy-wo… #SWWW2025

Day 3 of #SWWW is underway. Yesterday got me thinking: we talk about ‘what worked.’ Today, I’m curious about the how and why. What’s the process behind decisions—what failed, and what can we learn? Would love to hear what deeper questions are you asking? #WWWeek2025 Connecting for Change LLC

A simple starting point for thinking about your networks and how to leverage them.

In my work on water (SDG 6), I’ve seen how fragmented efforts stall momentum. The same challenge runs across climate, food, and health — the SDGs aren’t solo acts. Leveraging networks isn’t optional; it’s how we turn intent into outcomes.

More commitment and fewer commitments…

The most important person in your network might not have the biggest title. It’s often the quiet bridge, the one connecting worlds behind the scenes. Ignore the brokers & blind spots, and momentum stalls. Spot them, and unlock new possibilities. 💡 Who’s your quiet bridge?

Pledges matter — but progress will come from leaders who step beyond business-as-usual to connect coalitions, not run them in parallel.

It takes leaders who cross boundaries and build bridges to turn commitments into impact.
