Spark: One Dream Can Shift the World

Most people see a bird fly overhead and think nothing of it. But Sacha Dench saw swans migrating thousands of kilometres and asked herself: What if I could fly with them?

That one wild idea led to an extraordinary journey — 7,000 kilometres from the Russian Arctic to the UK, with nothing but a motor strapped to her back. But this wasn’t about glory. It was about impact.

Because she acted, hunters changed their practices. Kitesurfers gave up part of their lake. Fish farmers adjusted their cycles. A power company buried power lines that had been killing birds for decades.

All of it started with one spark.

Today’s power move:

• Write your spark down. Start with “I want to…” and then “I’m going to…”
• Say it out loud.
• Give it weight.

You don’t need to change the whole world. You just need to make a difference. And difference always begins with one step, one spark, one voice.

Tune in Thursday to hear how Sacha’s decision to fly with the swans shifted entire industries and communities.
