About Reem Rahman

I believe that the most pressing issues in our communities will be solved - not by superheros or top-down approaches - but by everyday heroes, by people in local communities that are most closely effected by the issues they care about. I am passionate about the role of knowledge and data to create the impact we care about. I love creating open-source tools for learning and designing products to increase collaboration, impact, and sustainability. I love supporting people and teams to meet their full potential. Some of my favorite projects have included \"Busting the Lone Hero Myth\" article and self-assessment,\"The Systems Change Crash Course\", award winning \"Changemaking.net - Tools to Spark Deeper Change\" microsite,\"The Art of Storytelling Workshop\", and the \"Feedback Dashboard\" tool for thousands of social entrepreneurs to exchange feedback on their strengths and weaknesses. Experiences Include: Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Learning and Development, Instructional Design, Experiential Learning, Diversity and Inclusion, Research and Analysis, Storytelling, Feedback Systems, Impact Evaluation, Data Visualization, Lean Prototyping, Facilitation, Collective Impact **BIO BELOW** Reem Rahman is a social entrepreneur, dedicated to unlocking the changemaking potential in everyone.
