As we slowly enter the post Covid-19 environment we are cautiously optimistic that the sectors we operate in will start to see green shoots.

Terms like ‘Corporate Retiree’ or ‘Corporate Escapee’ are being used on a daily basis.
Transitioning into a social entrepreneur from the corporate world, may begin with starting to feel lost, suffering burnout, becoming underwhelmed or even depressed, especially if their only mid-way through their career.

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.

Some would argue that businesses have a responsibility to incorporate some social impact initiatives into their business models. Regardless, the impact of doing so has an effect far beyond the communities the initiatives seek to benefit: it can help the business, too. For one, 64% of Millennials won’t take a job at a company if it doesn’t have values aligned with social responsibility.
A recent global report by Accenture found that customers are more likely to spend money with a company when their brand purposes reflect issues that matter to the consumer.
Perhaps you feel the pull to align your business with social impact and are wondering how to start. To alter your business’s impact while positively affecting your company’s reputation for future employees and customers, follow these steps to incorporate social impact into your business model.
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.

Imagine you are down with the flu. Yes, not particularly a pretty sight but we have all been there. Naturally, you decide to take the day off from class or work, so you can see a doctor and more importantly rest. But, instead of taking a nap in your own bed that you desperately need, you spend half your day looking for a good GP, booking an appointment and waiting an hour in queue before you can actually see a doctor.
