How to Disrupt Systems for Wellbeing

Meet Zaynel Sushil, Systems Innovator

Zaynel Sushil is not one to dream small. He's all about growing the conditions that enable people to live healthy lives. Whether that's in their community, their workplace or their home - he's up for pushing the boundaries to challenge what people think is possible.

In 2019 he stumbled across Business Lab in his search for a savvy systems change facilitator. So we started working with Zaynel and the team from Healthy Families Waitākere to strengthen workplace wellbeing with a whole business community.

He's worked across some impactful projects in food systems, alcohol harm reduction, workplace wellbeing, community development, social enterprise and public policy. You name it really!

You can connect with Zaynel on LinkedIn.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn

  • What it means to build a 'biodegradable initiative' (and how that change in mindset is powerful)

  • What systems change actually means (and how you can put it into practice)

  • Why all this talk of wellbeing might signal some much bigger shifts

  • Where you can start with systems change (and how you can thrive when the work gets really tough).
