Give a shift

Stories that matter.

Bright stories surprise us. They inspire action. They become a part of us. Our media platform, Give A Shift, documents the stories, perspectives and insights from businesses with social at their core.

We're telling the stories of 1,000 people who have had the tenacity to give a shift. Each week we speak with the innovators, changemakers and thought leaders of the decade. Our goal is to demonstrate that anyone, regardless of age, gender or race, has the power to make a difference.
