Making socially sustainable differences
In the previous post I alluded to focussing on the core elements that have an impact on an organisation’s reputation.
As part of this Dynamic Businesswoman’s blog, I decided to chat to dynamic business-people and get their views on these different elements.
My first interview was with Vivienne Schultz, Founder of the A2B Transformation Movement. I was first introduced to Vivienne when a good friend lent me Vivienne’s book – From Dependency to Dignity
Social Business Impacts in the form of Corporate Social Investment (CSI) projects lie very close to my heart, as does investing in our communities and especially investing in South African products and companies. As I read the book so many pieces of the CSI | NGO | hand-outs | community work | how we are all guilty of perpetuating a society of dependency fell into place.
I was so happy to catch up with Vivienne when she recently visited Cape Town – here are her thoughts when it comes to investing in communities.
(Incidentally – Vivienne mentions that you need to challenge yourself each day and get yourself out of your comfort zones – this is the first video that I have ever edited, so I was way out of my mine, but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, and had my own “I CAN!” moment - hope you enjoy it too J.)
