Personal message from the Founder
Congratulations and welcome to our web site. I trust that you will find
the content of this site interesting. We have stayed away from listing
lots of services so that our customers can ask for what ever it is they feel
they really need. We will make every effort to find a solution to meet that
need.
I created EMIT
having been through some extraordinary moments in my time. Our world continues
to be shaped by events that we seem powerless to influence and yet we have strong
views about these events. What can we do about this? Well for a start we
must not give up. We can change the world by working together to seek holistic
and responsible solutions that are based on stakeholder dialogue i.e., by talking
and listening to each other, properly and openly.
My redundancy at the very
end of 2004 provided the kick start that I needed to make a big change in my
life and, so far, things are going very well. I chose to move into the arena of
human brilliance because that was exactly what I experienced day in and day out
in my business and private life. My experience continues to demonstrate that people
can do brilliant things, when empowered and listened to. This need not cost
a huge amount of money and does not take up lots of time. If we are able to allow
the time for major mistakes to be made, we can afford the time to provide coaching
for our valued people to stop mistakes from happening.
Organisations claim
that people are their most valuable assets and yet the Human Resource (HR) departments
are one of the most under-resourced in most organisations. Next comes communications.
Seen as critical to success and are the first to be 'right-sized' when things
get tough. When times are tough, the decisions and visible behaviours of senior
management are always underestimated. My wish is that through coaching and dialogue
the world can start to experience the freedom of people living without distress.
After
all we want life and work to be more delightful, so let's make that a reality,
together.

According to the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship,
Social entrepreneurs share some common traits including:
-
an unwavering belief in the innate capacity of all people to
contribute meaningfully to economic and social development
-
a driving passion to make that happen.
-
a practical but innovative stance to a social problem, often
using market principles and forces, coupled with dogged
determination, that allows them to break away from
constraints imposed by ideology or field of discipline, and
pushes them to take risks that others wouldn't dare.
-
a zeal to measure and monitor their impact. Entrepreneurs have
high standards, particularly in relation to their own
organization’s efforts and in response to the communities
with which they engage. Data, both quantitative and
qualitative, are their key tools, guiding continuous
feedback and improvement.
-
a healthy impatience. Social entrepreneurs don’t do well in
bureaucracies. They cannot sit back and wait for change to
happen – they are the change drivers.
