1. WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS?
I started my current business in March 2008.
2. WHAT MOTIVATED YOU?
I have been an entrepreneur since 1996. I just had an erg to do something of greater and better.
3. WHY THAT BUSINESS AND NOT ANY OTHER BUSINESS?
Throughout my career, everything that I have ever done—all the knowledge, understanding and experience—has always prepared me for the next endeavour, a natural evolution.
4. DID YOU START IT ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS?
Alone.
5. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS?
My experience spans 30 years and 31 countries.
6. WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR SUCCESS?
I bring to clients—individuals, organizations and communities—passion, partnership in service, creativity, collaboration, innovation and consensus. In every project there is a transfer of knowledge and understanding that allows the individuals, organization and community achieve and sustain the desired change and transformation; thus, the solutions are enduring.
7. WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE?
The financial crises of 2008 that continues and has only worsened.
8. HOW DID YOU OVERCOME?
This remains a work in progress.
9. WHAT IS THAT ONE THING YOU WISH YOU KNEW BEFORE YOU STARTED THAT COMPANY?
Likely, that the financial system was being run like a casino.
10. ONE ADVICE TO START UPS AND UPCOMING ENTREPRENEURS?
Dream big, listen to your inner voice, don’t be afraid to fail and be persistent.
11. WHO INSPIRES YOU, LIKE A ROLE MODEL AND WHY?
My mentors are primarily Carl Jung, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Albert Einstein.
12. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR PHILOSOPHIES IF ANY?
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. – Albert Einstein
Be the change you want to see in the world. Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love. Whenever you have truth, it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected. – Gandhi
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves. The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other. – Carl Jung
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. – Martin Luther King Jr.
13. IF YOU WERE TO START A COMPANY WHAT KIND OF UNIQUE PRODUCT WOULD YOU INVEST IN?
Call to Change was introduced in December 2011 through the global published article “SMEs and Innovation in the 21st Century”
