Talking UP for a Change – Defined
Talking UP for a Change was set up in 2006 as a catalyst for businesses and organisations to shift to a more positive outlook and begin the change for a more successful and forward-thinking Scotland.
Mike Stevenson, its founder and managing director of Edinburgh marketing communications agency Design Links, said: “Scotland can be all we want it to be. No nation in the world has made more of itself in the past – but now it is time to make our future even more illustrious than the past.

How Talking UP for a Change can help your business
Scotland has always been an egalitarian country with an in-built sense of fairness. As we move forward, many of Scotland’s organisations, companies and institutions are looking for the views, ideas and enthusiastic involvement of people who could be central to change and success.
Scots are modest by nature, and that’s a good thing. Talking UP for a Change seeks to encourage others to put their views forward by creating a receptive environment for new thinking.
Involving people at all levels and getting them to reassess their contribution is something Mike’s been doing professionally for over 30 years, using techniques he first developed as a community worker in Edinburgh. It can shift people’s attitudes and views of themselves. It can bring about a real positivism, based on the particular talents that each of us has to offer.
This is what Talking UP for a Change is all about – finding ways to help create a country with world beating ideas, products and services.
