Welcome to September.

Today the world is experiencing social and environmental issues bigger than ever before, people are feeling disillusioned and confused about how they can have impact and feel disempowered despite being more technologically connected. There is a light at the end of the tunnel because whilst we experience problems as individuals, we can solve them collectively. At this year Ethical Enterprise Conference we have created spaces to bring people together to work, learn and collaborate together to create change. To solve some of our biggest challenges, we cannot work alone. I welcome you to join me at the 2019 Ethical Enterprise Conference.
Enjoy the rest of the newsletter.

The third "Collaborator Workshop" coming up

The Collaborator Workshop

Visit website for more info

Do you run a business in the City of Whittlesea?

The third "Collaborator Workshop" will take place on Wednesday the 25th of September 2019.
Some key takeaways from today’s session include:
*We may face individual issues that we can solve in a collaborative way. Creating win - win situations as opposed to relocating issues. On a larger scale, we have global issues that we couldn’t tackle individually, but collaboratively we can create waves of change.
* Diversity & Collaboration adds to success by way of creating resilience in the work place and dissolving obstacles to work. For example; corporations coming together to create a solution to the issue of child care.
* Purpose & Impact - Mindfulness in each step of business can creates a positive chain of impact. When your core values echo through from the Why of your business —> How business is done —> What you buy/supply chain you can create much more of an impact at every stage.
* Focus on what matters most to your business. There’s always ‘more’ that can be done, but we alone can’t do it all. However, if we all actively advocated for what we believe in, we would create change in that area. Eg; if supporting local businesses is a core value, you may choose to buy and support local businesses (that align to your values as well) rather than supporting a Fair Trade business in in another county.

What’s next - so now you have an idea of how impactful collaboration can be, how do you manage Conflict Resolution and Managing Difficult People?

Join us for the next 2 workshops as Victoria Plaksin, co-founder of Trusted Negotiator shares with us insights from her twenty years of negotiation skills for the purpose of empowering people to transform tough conversations into sources of mutual value, trust and impact.
