Differencemakers Tour 2010 with Ian Berry, Alexander Blass & Chris Jarvis

Corporate Responsibility, Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship: How Doing Good is Great for Business and Your Life
Apr 21, 2010 11:30 AM ET

Two examples of the sessions you'll enjoy; REGISTER HERE SESSION ONE: VISION, MISSION, AND VALUES STATEMENTS ON THE WALL ARE OF NO VALUE UNLESS THEY ARE LIVED IN THE HALL with Ian Berry

Several years ago Ian was embarrassed to discover that the vision, mission, and values statement he had assisted an executive team to create was totally disbelieved by the majority of stakeholders in the organisation. Ian vowed to find another way.

In the 12 years since he has helped organisations to dramatically increase levels of stakeholder engagement by inspiring and influencing people to collaboratively discover the compelling story and cause beyond profit of the organisation and how to turn values into virtues.

You will be drawn in this session to rethink where you are going, how you will get there, and what you stand for, and how to vastly improve the engagement of all your stakeholders and therefore the top and bottom lines of your business.

SESSION TWO:  As a child, Alexander Blass often gazed at the black and white photos on his parents’ piano of his father’s family members who perished in the Holocaust.

The lessons he learned as a boy about the preciousness of human life, combined with world events, ultimately led him to a “lightbulb moment.” He left a career in venture capital finance to make a difference in the lives of others as a social entrepreneur.   Alexander invented, patented and launched a revolutionary new way to make direct, person-to-person philanthropic contributions in 50 countries through the power of the Internet, for which he received wide acclaim including the Top Innovator of the Year Award and was credited with “revolutionizing charitable giving” by the Daily Record.   Blass draws from his experience and the lessons learned as a social entrepreneur to inspire and motivate, helping you identify your defining moments, find your passion, maximize our unique abilities, and embrace change, ensuring that one person -you-can indeed change our world.
