Provocateur: Systemic Change Leadership To Address The World's Biggest Problems
Systems change has become the slogan for all related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Governments, companies, non-profits, and social economy enterprises grapple with the dilemmas presented by disruptions caused by emerging technologies, demographic shifts, and changing societal norms while addressing poverty, climate change, and food insecurity. But without a strong leadership framework that moves the needle on many issue areas, the race to win against these disruptions could lead to conformism but not transformation, relief but not release.
Based on her book: Provocateurs not Philanthropists: Turning Good Intentions into Global Impact (Changemakers Books: 2022) Maiden Manzanal-Frank’s presentation will focus on the potential and benefits of Provocateur leading the way toward real systemic change. Using storytelling and from her extensive experience growing purpose-driven organizations in 15 countries, the audience will learn how to use the 5Ps: Passion, Purpose, Provision, Practice, and Paradigm of Provocateurs to start their practice now.
Key Takeaways:
- Recognize the characteristics and perspectives of a Provocateur Leader to address the world’s biggest problems
- Reframe the current paradigms that must shift now because doing the same things and expecting different results account for self-sabotage
- Identify their own Provocateur journey to improve critical leadership behaviors in their organizations
- Begin to practice the 5Ps of the Provocateur to start effecting change right now.

Change You Can Believe: Five Powerful Strategies to Alignment and Coherence
Resistance and objections are all part of any change dynamic. Small or big, change is frightening to most individuals, but to organizations, a failure to bring about the full benefits of change will produce lackluster results and more division and polarization. This is very catastrophic for purpose-driven organizations that are already stressed with limited resources, dated and unsupportive policy regimes, and large-wave disruptions.
This presentation will focus on five winning strategies to move your organizations towards catalytic social impact by harnessing the power of community-building that reimagines the process as traveling together as opposed to the pull-push, zero-sum equation. Using her consulting experience with more than a dozen purpose-driven organizations who embarked on strategic change and coaching change-makers around the world, prepare to reframe how you’re approaching changes in your organizations to thrive in the business of impact.
Key Takeaways:
- A inspired perspective on why believing that change starts with you is the first step of the process
- Identify the three areas where to leverage change to accelerate results
- Address opposition, resistance, and diversion temptations effectively
- Begin to practice the five strategies to achieve the transformation you set out to accomplish

One of Maiden Manzanal-Frank book’s (Provocateurs not Philanthropists: Turning Good Intentions into Global Impact) premises is that legacy is not something you leave behind, but something you create and live now. Legacy building is for any age, in any level of accomplishment, at any stage of life and career. Truly great individuals prioritize building legacies that matter for generations to come. Whether you are a Baby boomer, Gen X, Y, or millennial, you have the golden opportunity to take back your life, own your game, and elevate your impact for a better world.
Maiden’s journey from an immigrant in the Philippines with two suitcases and no contacts, connections, networks, and prospects for a job to a thriving speaking, consulting, coaching, and authorship business will get you inspired and challenged to take a solid step to make a positive impact now. If she can do it, you can do too. You can be an architect of a life that's satisfying,
impactful, and joyfully giving baked into your everyday practice.
Key Takeaways:
- Discover the urgency of legacy building
- Explore the rewards and challenges of leading a life dedicated to making a difference

Sometimes, you need someone to point you in a certain direction, a direction you would not have otherwise thought of. Maiden Manzanal-Frank's talk helped us reconfigure threats as opportunities, accept rather than resent ambiguity and look inward to go beyond resilience. There is a lot to take in her words. But, the effect is awe-inspiring.
