This is a space for established business leaders who strive to align their companies with their values, ensuring financial stability while making a positive impact. We will explore actionable steps you can take to integrate social responsibility into your business strategy and achieve a triple bottom line: doing good, doing well, and making money. That’s right, you really can do well by doing good inside your business.
With over 20 years of experience working with business owners, governments, and large funding bodies to bring “doing good” and “making money” back together, my experience spans from the grassroots of sitting in the dirt working with business owners across the Pacific Islands through to the United Nations in Geneva. This has given me an unparalleled perspective on what makes change happen.
You know you were born to do something significant, so don’t leave it to chance.
Think of this as your Hub for inspiration to reflect on how you’re using your Time, Talent, and Treasure to create a legacy bigger than yourself.
