But what happens when the work starts to deplete that early passion? Burnout is all too common among changemakers and social entrepreneurs.

Nimmity is Learning Programs Manager at StartSomeGood and founder of All of the Good Things, a platform for gifts that do good for people and the planet.
Before founding All of the Good Things, Nimmity worked for more than 20 years in senior management in software. This took her to Africa, the Middle East, Russia and Central Europe, Scandinavia, Asia and the Americas, where she experienced how insanely beautiful our world is; full of marvels – both natural and human made but also, sadly, the reality of extreme poverty in many of the places I visited.
All of the Good Things is her way of sharing her love for this amazing world of ours while through StartSomeGood she loves supporting other founders on their journeys. Nimmity’s goal is to make it easier for us all to care for and protect our planet and the people we share it with.
