8 ways to start on your purpose journey - ebook

Your Sense of Purpose is shaped by things you believe in and value – your own personal code of behaviour. Sense of Purpose helps you live by those values. Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be in life. Some don’t know till much later in life, and that’s okay, too.

Your Sense of Purpose can change as you grow older, as you learn new things about the world and about yourself, and as you meet new people and experience new things. What is important is being able to identify the things that matter to you.

Understanding the role mentoring programs play

Understanding the role mentoring programs play

This week we open Expressions of Interest from mentors as we seek to strengthen our mentor pool, and value proposition and support, for founders & startups that undertake our programs.

We hear the term mentor almost daily, so let’s first start with defining mentoring.

Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but he or she must have a certain area of expertise.

How a country kid became a social entrepreneur.

How a country kid became a social entrepreneur.

Geoff Gourley, Founder of One10, shares the story of his journey to launching the company. From a country kid to a recognised Global Social Entrepreneur.

Growing up at the back of the coal mines in La Trobe Valley, Geoff saw first hand the impact of the mining industry on the environment and people around him. He recalls a school excursion where he and his friends were shown 3D models to the power station. On the model, one image haunted him: all the towns had been dug up for coal.

Get to know Geoff in this one on one interview.

Post-Corporate; are you ready for positive change?

Post-Corporate; are you ready for positive change?

You’ve spent years studying at University, landed your dream job shortly after and spent the next few years advancing through the corporate ladder. Now what? Why not work for something that you truly believe in, place value in and do your bit to help change or create a positive social impact. Seeking an opportunity to do something more meaningful in your everyday life resonates with a vast majority; they’ve come to the realisation that they want more out of life and are in a position to give back to their community and beyond those boundaries.

Why the World needs Social Entrepreneurs

Why the World needs Social Entrepreneurs

Are social enterprises the answer to social world problems, what defines social impact, change or solution to the recurring issues our society faces? It’s not always easy to determine the exact value of social entrepreneurs and organisations; however, it’s easy to imagine what would happen to our future if they didn’t exist.

If you are a budding Social Entrepreneur or are passionate about a business that creates impact why not apply now for the One10 Capacity Building Programs or take an Online Micro Course.
