		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m constantly amazed at the human desire for stasis. The slow-burn growth of the world&#8217;s acceptance of the &#8220;social entrepreneurship&#8221; movement (in the media, academia and business-world) is in direct opposition to the actual growth in the amount of work and money being dedicated to the work of these incredible agents of change.

I went to an event recently where there was a lovely spread of cheeses, breads, dips and other yummy hors d&#8217;oeuvres.  At the end of the reception, the staff started cleaning up and I asked what they did with all of the left over food. The answer, as most of you already know, is [...]]]></description>

I was recently asked to write a piece for the upcoming WeMedia conference in Miami on how media can help us move beyond click-and-go advocacy to real and meaningful change. For me, the Internet has provided me with a platform to share my ideas with the world. Here&#8217;s the piece I submitted &#8212; you [...]]]></description>

I write a lot about The Social Age, our interconnectedness and our interdependence. Strangely, I work alone. Sure, I meet with clients and spend countless hours on conference calls, but at the end of the day, I work alone. There are huge benefits to being an independent consultant, or &#8220;freelancer&#8221;. You can work in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve all read my meanderings about the power of social enterprise to effect change in the world. At the World Economic Forum at Davos this year, social entrepreneurs were the new &#8220;it&#8221; peoeple. I&#8217;m not surprised. It may take a bit of time, but slowly, people are starting to understand that entrepreneurship for social change [...]]]></description>

It has always seemed such a waste to me&#8230; but I will admit that I do oblige my skidlings at holiday time (with recycled wrapping paper of course!).

		<description><![CDATA[I was walking through downtown Boston the other day and got annoyed as heck. There&#8217;s a lot of traffic in Boston &#8212; and we all know about the Boston drivers &#8212; but I realized, with great annoyance, that the reason the traffic was so bad is because of the pedestrians.
