The Company We Keep – Learn To Be A Better Human

The Company We Keep is a column on the CN&CO blog that profiles some of the most interesting people in our networks. Here we share the details of the lives of people we know, showcasing the extraordinary diversity of our society and proving that people truly are at the heart of everything we do. In this feature our Blake Dyason talks about an incredible initiative, “Learn To Be A Better Human”.

I have always made an effort to meet and connect with people even if it doesn’t seem relevant. It’s these meetings that often challenge me, open my eyes to new ideas and grow my diverse network and understanding of the world around me.

It was one of these unrelated meetings that I met Sally Acton who founded this amazing company, Learn To Be A Better Human.

I just love how this idea makes it easy and engaging to learn important bite-sized information while supporting NPOs and social impact initiatives.

Be A Better Human is an online e-learning, e-commerce platform that allows you to do micro-classes (less than 20 minutes) on topics that matter.

These classes include everything from learning about cancer or illegal wildlife trade to the Black Lives Matter movement. These are all social challenges that affect most of us directly or indirectly on a daily basis and the more we can learn the greater the change we will make.

Head over to her website and see what you can learn and what organisations you can support.

Lastly, if you have a social impact organisation, reach out, Sally is brilliant and will help guide you on how to create short educational content and potentially make additional income for your organisation.

We love seeing CN&CO’s partners PinkDrive and Love our trails on Be A Better Human.
