B Corp Certification, Book, Podcast, and news

I'm very focused and busy writing a book about B Corp Certification.

The book is aimed at people who haven’t yet got a B Corp certification and are curious and want to know more about B Corp and why it’s good to be a B Corp.

So, if you are one of them, or you wish you had read a book about B Corp when you started your journey to certification, please let me know what you’d like the book to cover to help you during this phase of your business!

Out And About

At Lincoln University, NZ

Thanks to Ilse von Hirschberg, Future Leader Programme Manager for inviting me in to talk to the latest cohort of students about Purpose At Work and all things B Corp.

Even nicer to receive this beautiful book by Dr Hinemoa Elder as part of my reward.

At Untouched Worlds Flagship Store Re-Launch

The word legend is used fairly loosely in the Antipodean world, but Peri Drysdale is genuinely a legend.

It was great to be invited to their flagship store reopening in Chch recently.

It was also neat seeing Singapore-based B B1G1 on the wall and bumping into a couple of our clients and getting some B products in the swag bag!

You can learn more about Peri and the amazing work they do in one of recent podcast episodes!

A great event was the Outgrow the System film screening and panel discussion in Christchurch, with Anders Nilsson, co-director and producer of the film.

I had the pleasure to MC the event and it was an amazing night where we got to showcasing and discussing different economic systems and models that could lead us all to thrive as human beings in a way that is more sympathetic to the planet that we all call home.

There were inspiring and challenging questions during Q&A time, check this article for interesting insights. ?
