About The Book
It is often said by great men and women; “success is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics”. If so, then here is your cheat sheet to enable you to become an adept, concise, and creative entrepreneur in social impact.
Are you an aspiring social impact entrepreneur? With ideas of making the world a better place but no idea what you are most passionate about and no idea how you could make a living off of it? I was asked a question on how to do both in 2015 and the ensuing discussions led me on a journey of research and discovery.
Place To Grow: 8 Principles that will make you an effective leader in social impact will give you the starting out mindset. It comes after a decade working with local governments, SME’s, non-profits, multinational corporations, and individuals. As well as over two decades in education and human behavior studies/work. No matter what your idea is – it could be a solution to the plastic crisis, more sustainable fashion systems, poverty eradication, or connected to any one of the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals – You will need to lead others and you will need the mindset that will enable your success. The development of this mindset is the goal and purpose of this book.

She is a dynamic and authentic social impact leader who inspires action in her audience.
