Since last month we've had the largest number of sign ups to
this ezine yet. This was largely due to a hugely successful talk in Leeds for Business Link Yorkshire on Why Social
Enterprises are Tomorrow's Enterprises. So we'd like to extend a warm
welcome to the Yorkshire
contingent who clearly think that Robert reaches the parts other speakers don't and really hits the spot.
Robert's talk was a fast moving, light hearted session which highlighted the opportunities facing today's social entrepreneurs.
He also talked about why social enterprise is going to grow and what
the customer appeal is; the balance between passion and practicality and how to
balance the two. He finished with his top tips on running a successful social enterprise.
Here's some of the feedback from the day:
"I like Robert - he's a human-scale entrepreneur on a talk-circuit dominated by supposedly super-human entrepreneurs who most of it find hard to relate to. He talks a lot of sense."
Rob Greenland
"I was really moved by your drive, the information you provided for the group last night and your extremely witty presentation."
Dr Mah Hussain-Gambles
"I just wanted to let you know how inspirational we found your talk. We all said how re-energised we felt by the time we left after hearing your presentation - so thanks for galvanising us!"
Mary Lindley
"Thanks again for last night. Vernon and I both feel that the evening was very successful and the client feedback was extremely positive.
Example delegate comments were:
- useful information - good positive energy
- all brilliant, thank you
- very motivational
- real life experience - 100% more useful and plausable than a trainer."
