Ideas

- social entrepreneurship can help where governments and & business can't: societal problem of vulnerability, which leads to health issues

- elements to nurture social entrepreneurship = access to advice and support, finance and appropriate legal structures are all crucial + question of what makes for an “enabling eco-system” for social enterprise and entrepreneurship [= I think, cultural elements]

Hsiang-Yi Lin
Who - Head of MKMB Coaching and Consulting
What - Key concepts = Mindful, sustainable leadership, empowering leaders
Why -
1. Understands how in a toxic context (as personal and professional boundary fades), mindfulness can give leaders an edge.
2. Understands to be pragmatic & to the point right when the problem is that the context is unclear: leading change, managing self in difficult times, building a shared vision, breaking down myopic thinking and organizational silos, aligning teams & cultivating a learning culture".
