The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs currently offers three two-day workshops designed for both Board members and senior managers, all taught by Jerr Boschee. The length, structure and content of the workshops can all be adjusted to fit specific needs.
"Jerr has a unique ability to take an organization to its roots to help it re-examine its philosophical base -- the first step in any paradigm shift. He helps organizations challenge their underlying beliefs and brings them into current reality to begin the rebuilding process. His speaking style is very relaxed, but he builds excitement by painting a new reality. His presentations are a unique blend: He is very organized and purposeful, but allows room for the mind to explore the little eddies that flow from his main stream."
John DuRand, Co-founder, The Affirmative Business Alliance of North America
