What does the day in the life of a social innovation consultant look like?
First, the most important thing is to wake up and check the news. It's very important to be aware of all the situations that are happening.
If anything social arises that we work on, we should be updated on that information. After that, make sure about the agenda for the day and what meetings you have.
Also, check all emails to see if you have additional tasks to perform that day. Then, probably tons of meetings, but also save some space to read and identify any additional opportunities to improve your work.
And of course, as a person, I spend some time with my dog and my family. I also study, as I'm doing the Masters of Social Innovation.
