That was the question I asked Alice Freitas in September 2015. A social entrepreneur, she created Rede Asta, an impact business that works with more than 800 artisans who live in communities, offering fashion trends, training and partnerships with designers, as well as a “market place” for the products they produce, returning a substantial part of the profit to the
craftswomen, with the aim of helping them to prosper in life and breaking the cycle of poverty and violence. Great inspiration for me! Alice teaches me that life is made of choices.
And Alice's answer was:
What do you know about impact business? Do you know who Mohammad Yunus was? Start studying and write on a sheet of paper what you are good at. And then reflect on how you can use your talents to help others.
And that's what I wrote on September 29, 2015.
I'm good and I like to do:
· Build relationships
· Understand the need and seek specialists
· Analytic review and logical thinking (mainly involving financial/accounting analysis - balance sheet and financial statement)
· Work as a team, set priorities, delegate
· Engagement and commitment
· Work with people (human connection)
· Connect with the stories and be an agent of transformation
