"Surround yourself with positive thoughts and like-minded people. Lift each other up and work together. Be the best 'you', it will enable others to be their best also. Embrace your vulnerability, it is your greatest strength. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; in-fact be afraid if you are not making them. Never underestimate the power to impact or influence the world. Remain curious and you will never grow old. Never too young to lead, never to old to learn. Remember leadership is not about who is in charge, its about bringing people to a place they wouldn't otherwise go." - Erik Bruun Bindslev (MERIKA ADVISORY) on stage at #ImpactWeek with Åsa Skogström Feldt (IKEA Social Entrepreneurship) sharing his perspectives on impact leadership.

“In countries like Lebanon and Palestine, impact investing is a courageous act. It means choosing hope over fear, opportunity over charity, because amidst this struggle, there are communites that want to rebuild. When you invest in these ideas, you become part of a narrative that chooses construction over destruction, justice over indifference and above all, hope over helplessness.” - Maya Rahal, Country Director Lebanon at Alfanar Venture Philanthropy about impact market building in the European neighbourhood and beyond.
