Inspiration is (mainly) a choice
Your life is a mirror
How would you rate your own inspiration
on a daily basis?
Who has most inspired you with his / her

Giving
support to
others?
•1. Practise
philanthropy
•2. Really
listen
INNOVATIVE COMPANIES ARE
PHILANTHROPIC
Some options for
supporting charities
• A % of sales from one / some products
• To become the spokesperson for a charity
• To provide pro bono support to a charity eg
• With Board level representation
• By co-ordinating their fund-raising efforts
Listening??
•You have two ears and one
mouth for a very specific reason
•The person who listens the
most, learns the most
• Paraphrasing is the critical skill
Your present contributions
•Optional Question: In what way/s
do you presently give support to
a charity or social cause?
•Mandatory question: What could
you do?
Can one person
really change the
world??
•Yes.... and No.
•Change the world all by yourself?? Not very
often (although some can!!)
•However, a small group of people sure can!
•Everyone?? Every One !
You change the
world. Guaranteed.
It is an honour (and a significant
responsibility) to educate / inform /
support others
Who have YOU influenced?
Who has supported YOU?

Her epitaph?
•“Everyone said I couldn’t sing
•But no-one can say I didn’t
sing.”
