TESTIMONIALS FOR THE BOOK
_______________
|
“In today’s world, where success comes from changemaking, not repetition, every teen needs to be a changemaker, actually to build a team and cause a change. Once a young person has this experience, they will have their power for life. Does your daughter have this power? If you care for her or for your society, please read this book carefully.”
Bill Drayton CEO Ashoka: Innovators for the Public |
“The book provides compelling evidence because it is based on facts and not assumptions. It is not only informative for stakeholders who wish to design, align, and deliver structures that can support youth, but most importantly, it is also an excellent tool for young people who wish to start a changemaking journey in their own communities and countries around the world. Outstanding and highly recommended!”

"Working with Thomas as a mentor has been the best decision I could have made. Not only is he a huge inspiration as a (social) entrepreneur but also on a personal growth and spiritual level. He helped me to overcome my biggest struggle: feeling lost and not knowing which part of my business I should focus my energy on. With his clear strategic mindset and action-mentality, he helped me to simplify processes and declutter my mind. Thomas taught me to focus on the simplest way to leverage and get maximum results - so powerful! Plus, he is the master of “being in flow” and always gives amazing advice how to calm down fears or limiting thoughts - which really unleashed my ability to grow and achieve more than I would have ever thought in a short time."

" I am very grateful to have won Thomas, such an enriching and inspiring personality for our young project teams and look forward to many more workshops with him.Thomas just knows how to respond to a variety of needs and team constructs, and to advance the projects of the young project makers in such a way that they work attentively, sustainably and with inspiration and enjoyment of their ideas.
In addition to his practical experience in project management and valuable tips on digital tools and storytelling, Thomas also transmits his mindset to the participants during the two-day workshops we regularly organize for groups of 20 to 40 young people . Thanks to that, they are motivated to begin the implementation of their projects and
learn to 'just do' and get into action mode."

"Thomas was a real inspiration on our way to become entrepreneurs. Without his knowhow, especially in the area of Lean-StartUp, we wouldn't be where we are today. Thomas lives the sharing is caring principle."

In February 2014 I was interviewed by the Oprah Magazine and said the following: "I used to call myself an ideas person and thought that I needed to partner with an action person, but watching this crazy idea of cycling to India to raise funds for a sanitation project become reality has broken that mental barrier - I can't stop starting things." What I didn't mention in that interview was that the "action person" behind the tour was Thomas Jakel. Watching how he systematically pulled the tour together from an idea to success was what broke that mental barrier for me.
