When Sally asked me to write this foreword, I was both challenged and excited. I am excited because, in my opinion, Sally is one of those extraordinary people you only get to meet a few times in your life. That's saying something: my business, Thought Leaders, means I get to spend an inordinate amount of time around people who are truly inspiring and making a difference. No doubt Sally's backstory is point of difference enough - anyone who has been thrown the life lessons and dramatic experiences she has would be someone worth listening to - and yet that's not her greatest asset. Sally has taken a life's worth of experience and added a life's worth of learning and teaching the idea of rigorous self-responsibility.Sally is a powerful creator and, as such, the perfect person to write a book about the co-creative age. This book should read like a codebook for hacking the future. It's rich and it's layered. The equanimous leader concept alone is an idea that should cause deep meditation and reflection in any leader who is exposed to it.In Mahayana Buddhism, bodhisattva is the Sanskrit term for anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. Reading this book I feel like that Sally is a modern-day bodhisattva, a rare soul who pauses on her journey to enlightenment to ferry others across the river of consciousness.The Co-Creative Age unpacks a theologically agnostic view for creating companies and cultures we would all be happy living and working in. The ideas within this book are accessible to the agnostic, atheist and extremist. I was a fan of Sally's first book Freefall - Living Life Beyond The Edge, and am happy to say even more so one of this book. It just might be Sally's life opus. That said, I have learnt that - WOW - is never a full stop with Sally. So don't read this book - absorb it. To elevate consciousness on the planet is the greatest and most worthy job any teacher can undertake.Matt Church, Author of Amplifiers: The Power of Motivational Leadership to Inspire

The book brings together perspectives on entrepreneurship research, education and practice to understand social entrepreneurship in its wider societal, political and economic context. Its unique contribution comes from its interdisciplinary approach that spans from the societal to the organizational level, with specific focus social innovation and management. It views management of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise in light of its societal context and employs social innovation to critically assess social entrepreneurship as driver of change.

The contributions in this book elucidate these developments and the role of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Furthermore, the book offers great insight into the specific ways of managing, leading and creating innovation in social enterprises as well as perspectives on how to understand their social impact or value creation.

Why Punctuality MattersIn today's fast-paced world, time is a precious commodity. From juggling work responsibilities to personal commitments, it seems like there is never enough time in a day. This is where punctuality becomes vital. Time management is the key to success, and being punctual is an essential component of effective time management. In this subchapter, we will explore why punctuality matters and how it can positively impact various aspects of our lives.First and foremost, punctuality is a sign of respect. When we are punctual, we demonstrate our commitment and value for other people's time. Whether it's a business meeting, a social gathering, or even a simple dinner with a loved one, being on time shows that we value the other person and their presence. It fosters trust, reliability, and professionalism, which are crucial in both personal and professional relationships.Moreover, punctuality allows us to make the most of our time. By being punctual, we can effectively plan our schedules, ensuring that we have enough time to accomplish our tasks. This reduces stress and anxiety, as we are not constantly rushing to meet deadlines or catching up on missed appointments. When we are punctual, we can focus more on the task at hand, enhancing our productivity and overall performance.Furthermore, punctuality cultivates discipline and self-control. It requires us to manage our time efficiently, prioritize our commitments, and adhere to deadlines. These skills are invaluable in all areas of life, helping us achieve our goals and aspirations. By consistently practicing punctuality, we develop a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility, which are highly sought-after qualities in the professional world.It is also worth noting that punctuality sets a positive example for others. When we are consistently punctual, we inspire those around us to do the same. By promoting punctuality, we create a culture of respect and efficiency, which can have a ripple effect on our communities and workplaces

In the past few decades, there has been a remarkable shift in the landscape of leadership positions, with women gradually breaking through the glass ceiling and assuming powerful roles across various industries. This subchapter explores the significant strides made by women in leadership and highlights the transformative power they bring to organizations and society as a whole.Historically, women have faced numerous barriers that hindered their progress in leadership roles. However, with changing societal norms and increased awareness about gender equality, women have emerged as strong contenders for top positions. Today, women are leading major corporations, governments, and nonprofit organizations, showcasing their unique leadership styles and approaches.One of the key reasons for the rise of women in leadership positions is the recognition of the benefits they bring to organizations. Research has consistently shown that gender-diverse leadership teams outperform their homogeneous counterparts. Women often contribute different perspectives, innovative problem-solving skills, and enhanced emotional intelligence, creating a more inclusive and balanced decision-making process.Furthermore, the shift towards a more inclusive and collaborative leadership style aligns perfectly with women's natural strengths. Empathy, effective communication, and relationship-building are qualities commonly associated with female leaders, enabling them to foster cohesive and high-performing teams. The rise of women in leadership positions has led to a shift in organizational cultures, promoting diversity, and empowering individuals to thrive in their respective roles.As women continue to ascend the ranks of leadership, their impact extends beyond individual organizations. They serve as role models for aspiring female leaders, inspiring them to pursue their ambitions and overcome barriers. The rise of women in leadership positions challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes, driving social change and paving the way for future generations.However, significant challenges still persist, and it is crucial to address them to ensure sustained progress. Organizations must continue to dismantle systemic barriers, promote equitable policies, and provide opportunities for women to develop their leadership skills. Mentoring programs, leadership development initiatives, and inclusive hiring practices are just a few ways to accelerate the rise of women in leadership positions.

Understanding Creative Entrepreneurship In the world of art and creativity, entrepreneurship has become an essential aspect of success. Artists and creative individuals are not only expressing their passions but also seeking to turn their talents into profitable ventures. This subchapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of creative entrepreneurship, exploring its significance and offering valuable insights to anyone interested in pursuing a career in the art of creativity. Creative entrepreneurship is the fusion of artistry and business acumen. It involves harnessing one's creative abilities and channeling them into viable and sustainable ventures. It goes beyond the traditional perception of artists as solely driven by passion, emphasizing the importance of strategic thinking, marketing, and financial management. One of the key aspects of creative entrepreneurship is recognizing the value of one's creative work. Artists often struggle with attaching a monetary value to their creations, fearing that commercialization might compromise their artistic integrity. However, understanding the market and identifying the target audience is crucial for creative entrepreneurs to thrive. By finding the right balance between artistry and profitability, artists can transform their passions into profitable businesses without sacrificing their artistic vision. Another vital element of creative entrepreneurship is innovation. In an ever-evolving creative landscape, entrepreneurs must continuously adapt to changing trends and technologies. Embracing innovation allows artists to opportunities. By staying abreast of industry developments and adopting new tools and techniques, creative entrepreneurs can stay ahead of the curve and carve a niche for themselves in the competitive world of creativity. Furthermore, creative entrepreneurs must develop strong business skills to effectively manage their ventures. This includes financial planning, marketing strategies, networking, and legal considerations. Understanding these crucial aspects helps artists build sustainable businesses and establish themselves as professionals in their respective fields. Ultimately, creative entrepreneurship offers artists the opportunity to not only pursue their passions but also thrive in the business world. By understanding the significance of strategic thinking, innovation, and business acumen, artists can successfully navigate the challenges and find fulfillment in their creative endeavors.
