Lessons from the SEWF2019 and world leaders in Social Enterprise

For me, my illusion’s been that I’ve always set big, impactful goals, when, in actual fact, they’ve been anything but.

Well, that’s all about to change, and I invite you to change with me…

Thanks to the bursary from the British Council, I was given the incredible opportunity to go to the SEWF2019 (Social Enterprise World Forum) in Ethiopia.

See, before arriving, I was quite comfortable under the illusion that the vision and goals I had for the future – how I wanted all businesses to be social enterprises, and to support 100,000 children out of poverty around the world – was, to be quite frank, big thinking.

But, what I learnt at SEWF2019, taught me that I’ve been playing small; playing small, thinking small and achieving small.

Having spent four days listening and talking to African Social Entrepreneurs, it’s crystal clear that their goals aren’t to effect change for the few, but for everyone.
