MASTERCLASS with Expats & Entrepreneurs

 

Impact Leadership & Entrepreneurship

On Wednesday, June 9th 5 pm GMT (19:00 CET) ImpactLeaders international will offer participants a deep dive into their own potential to make a social/sustainable difference in the world. 

The 90 -minute Masterclass will be led by our International Leader Saskia Harkema, a seasoned lecturer, and professor of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at several universities. At the same time Saskia Harkema also has vast practical experience with groups of marginalised people and refugees to help discover their hidden talents and inner power to enable their integration and progress in society. 

Are you feeling overwhelmed living in a new country and feeling that you want to do something?

  • Be valued and participate so you will feel you are making a difference?

  • Use your talents and have financial independence?

  • Work with a team of people of your choosing to offer something unique to people?

  • Use your experiences as an expat to set up a venture of your own?

  • Reach for the sky and make it happen?

We from ImpactLeaders international (www.impactleaders.international) have developed a unique training ‘Become an Impact Leader and Impactful Entrepreneur’ especially for the Expat community.

Our training aims to contribute to support the transformation agenda for the world which has been translated into 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

We take an inside-out approach that starts with YOU: what are your dreams? Talents? Purpose? Mission? What would you like to do and what would you like to contribute? Entrepreneurs are Game-Changers, and are so necessary in our world. They create new things to problems we are facing. You as an expat have a role to play in this respect!

In our online training we will embark on a journey of self-discovery which takes you through different stages: Discovering, Dreaming, Designing, and Delivering.


In this Masterclass you'll learn:

You will learn many things. First about yourself.

  1. What drives you and what hinders you?

  2. How can you let go of things that are holding you back and step into the future?

  3. You will learn how to visualize your dream and find what your personal mission is.

  4. You will place yourself in the world as a changemaker instead of merely an observer.

  5. How do you want to shape your future?

  6. You will learn how design thinking can help you in identifying problems and developing ideas and value propositions.

  7. Finally you will learn to make your ideas actionable: develop a business model revolving around social impact, know how to implement your value proposition and business idea and monitor progress.

  8. You will know how to become a social entrepreneur: someone working for the good of humanity.

There she fought for her right to an education, which is denied to women. She also was forced to marry as a child, which she refused.

With the lotus flower as a metaphor, they describe the odysse...
