We make a living from what we get;
we make a life by what we give." – Winston Churchill
Social Enterprise and Giving Back
Join social entrepeneur, Eric Edmeades, for an entertaining, emotional and powerful presentation about one of the fastest grown trends in
business: Social Enterprise.
Government and pop stars can only do so much. Today, real change comes from the
public and significant change comes from entrepreneurs and business leaders.
More and more businesses, business owners and managers are recognising the responsibility they have in their communities and in the world and then, having become ‘go givers’ rather than ‘go getters’, the opportunities that Social Enterprise creates for them.
Experience the difference between active and passive giving and then learn how some enterprising
entrepreneurs have made their philanthropic footprints highly profitable for their businesses. The more they give, the more they make, the more they make, the more they...

After selling his business and retiring from the ITsector in his mid-thirties, Eric travelled around the world twice to gain perspective on his life, his achievements and what was next for him.
He knew he had a passion for
helping people achieve more and live outstanding lives, but something was missing so. He out went to find it.
Having visited over forty countries, and lived in four, Eric met a wide variety of people, experiencedmyriad cultures and found many answers — but not the one he was looking for.
During a month-long surfing safari in Bali, Eric heard that a
massive earthquake had struck in Jogjakarta, killing several
thousand people and leaving many thousands of people without homes, food, water or medical attention.
Without a plan and against every issued travel advisory, Eric rented a truck, filled it with supplies and drove four days across Java to provide relief in person.
Eric’s life and outlook were permanently impacted by this
experience and suddenly, Eric had found that missing something.
Now an international consultant, Eric runs a series of Adventure Seminars™, each of which leave behind what Eric calls Philanthropic Footprints in the communities that need it most.
