grassroots movement

Standing Together is a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. 
“While the minority who benefit from the status quo of occupation and economic inequality seek to keep us divided, we know that we — the majority — have far more in common than that which sets us apart.”

In this episode, Yael Drier Shilo—one of the founding members and current financial director of Standing Together—shares how the grassroots movement led by Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel is standing for peace. She explains how the organization advocates for true social and economic justice on a daily basis, and how they’re organizing to meet the solidarity needs of the current moment.

“There's strategic value in giving up some control when you're a leader at a company and you want new ideas to emerge.” - Steve Garguilo

Early in his career, Steve did the (seemingly) impossible—he led a grassroots transformation of the culture of Johnson & Johnson, the fifth largest company in the world. 

Frustrated by the pace and challenges of big company culture, Steve decided to do something he’d done in college: host a TEDx.  He hosted a casual TEDx event at a bar and invited employees within Johnson & Johnson to share their research, wild ideas, and learn from one another. Within an hour and a half of posting the event internally, 90 people had signed up. Soon employees at other offices around the world wanted to host their own. By the time Steve was done, 23,000 people at Johnson & Johnson had engaged in a TEDx and he had a new title: “Head of Instigation at Johnson & Johnson.”

Today Steve continues this work shifting big company cultures from the ground up. As a partner at Cultivate, he’s taking the transformative work he did at Johnson & Johnson to other organizations. He co-authored Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action which captures the two-decade on the quest to find better ways to take action on our ideas.

We talk with Steve about how he pinpointed fellow changemakers within Johnson & Johnson and supercharged their ideas using the TEDx format. 

Highlights, inspiration, & key learnings:

• Start with “why.” Aligning behind a shared purpose.
• Do something together. The steps Steve took to host the first TEDx at J&J.
• Metrics of success. Shiny eyes and goosebump moments.
• Pinpointing cultivators. Finding other people that have energy to spark change.
• Leading authentically. Being the person that you want more of in the world.
