Change is an Inside Job: Leadership Skills for Social Entrepreneurs Who Want to Increase Their Impact

April 28th, 9-10 AM PST/Noon-1 PM EST

Location: (616) 712-8000, 954050#

Are you a social entrepreneur who sometimes feels like you’re:

-       Spinning your wheels, not getting the traction you want?

-       Lonely or isolated in your work?

-       Ineffective at communicating with community members, colleagues, potential funders or partners who just “don’t get it”?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then come join this call to get fully supported in moving beyond the frustration and into the freedom of making greater impact.

The desire for change is something shared by all social entrepreneurs – better access to technology for disadvantaged kids, a different approach to healthcare, a product made more fairly and responsibly.  Social entrepreneurs don’t only see the current structure but ways it could be more efficient, more responsible, more equitably produced.  In short, they are agents of change.

However, to ensure outward change is lasting and effective, we must be able to overcome our own internal challenges.  This call will provide just that - leadership skills that will allow you to renew, refresh and refocus on creating change, from the inside out.

While sign-up is not necessary to attend, if you email me now to sign-up, you'll also receive a free report in advance of the call, “10 Steps to Move You From Dreaming to Doing”.
