Create Change That Matters is a leadership and personal development guide by Jacqueline Moore. It is written for individuals who want to create meaningful change in their own lives and in the world around them, starting with small everyday actions. The book presents 100 practical ways to make a difference, organized into four thematic sections of 25 ideas each.
The opening section focuses on kindness and civility as foundational practices for change. It argues that meaningful change often begins in ordinary moments-across a dinner table, in a workplace, or in a conversation between two people who disagree. The text emphasizes that kindness is not weakness and civility is not silence, but rather courageous choices that recognize shared humanity.
The first three specific actions are presented in detail. Action 1, 'Notice People,' encourages making eye contact, smiling, and acknowledging those who are often overlooked. The author shares a personal story about thanking a cleaning woman at a fundraising event, illustrating how a simple acknowledgment can make someone feel seen and valued.
Action 2, 'Say Thank You-and Mean It,' explores the power of specific, sincere gratitude. The author describes thanking a colleague who stayed late for an event, showing how naming exactly what someone did and why it mattered creates deeper connection than a casual thank-you. Action 3, 'Give Compliments Freely,' urges readers to tell people when they notice something good about them, whether it is their kindness, work ethic, creativity, or courage.
The book is structured as a practical guide with each action accompanied by a personal narrative from the author's experience. The table of contents shows the full scope: 25 Ways to Create Change Through Kindness, 25 Ways to Create Change Through Leadership, 25 Ways to Create Change Through Volunteering and Giving Back, and 25 Ways to Be the Change. The document includes a dedication page and copyright information.
The author's overall framework integrates inner development with systems transformation, helping individuals clarify purpose and strengthen inner authority while also helping organizations build healthy, aligned cultures. The book is published under the imprint Create Change That Matters and is available at www.createchangethatmatters.com.
