I’ll enter the New York Festivals Purpose Awards any day of the week. A business with purpose is great. But what’s even greater is the purpose of business: To benefit the world around us. That’s not altruism. It’s interdependence. Because what’s good for people, for the environment, for ecosystems, for communities —that’s good for business. We’ve forgotten that, somewhere along the way. And it’s time to remember. Our chaotic, unpredictable world needs help now more than ever. And business has more power to influence positive change than any government, any NGO, any grassroots campaign. Purposeful business practices, acting ethically, focusing on sustainability—these aren’t add-ons. They’re integral to the bottom line. Business can make money by solving the world's problems. I focus on logic and magic. And mainstreaming sustainability across audiences. Not just to create a business with purpose. But because the greater purpose of business ACTIVATED is everything. #creativitymatters New York Festivals Scott Rose #purposedrivenleadership #purposedrivenmarketing #brandpurpose #creativeawards #creativity

This will be a great webinar! I have great respect for Larraine Segil and John Driver, NACD.DC. It is critical that #boarddirectors have different backgrounds and share different points of view respectfully. These differences improve the organization's strategy and risk oversight. #corporategovernance #DirectorExcellence

A relatively small step for EDPNC, but a leap forward for setting the example for North Carolina employers, and the future of retention.
