Aimée Abra Tenu, entrepreneuse sociale africaine à l’Impactory 

 

(le 08 Août 2014)

Le dynamisme entrepreneurial d’Aimée a été très communicatif et a créer un réel enthousiasme auprès du public présent à l’Impactory pour ce lunch de l’Innovation Sociale organisé avec la Jeune Chambre économique.

En effet, Aimée a commencé son action dès l’âge de 14 ans, elle a developpé de nombreuses activités caritatives et c’est tout naturellement qu’elle est devenue entrepreneuse sociale. Aujourd’hui, active dans des domaines comme la savonnerie et la maroquinerie elle a gagné le prix de la Femme de l’année au Togo.

A l’ocassion de son passage à l’Impactory au Luxembourg, elle a pu échanger avec des acteurs locaux sur ses challenges: la recherche de modèles économiques durables au service de son action et la recherche d’investisseurs pour developper de nouvelles activités.

“On Wednesday 18th of June we had the pleasure to welcome Felix Oldenburg from Ashoka Europe at The Impactory Luxembourg for a very special lunch. Felix Oldenburg is an entrepreneur and expert at the interfaces of the social, business, and political sectors.The event was hosted by Hedda Pahlson-Moller, cofounder of The Impactory.

Ashoka is the largest network of social entrepreneurs worldwide – they have been at the forefront in the field of social entrepreneurship and has activated multi–sector partners across the world who increasingly look to entrepreneurial talent and new ideas to solve social problems all around the world.

Felix’s presentation focused on case studies of social impact. Felix explained how important it was to develop social entrepreneurship and social innovation in emerging and developed countries in order to change the future of industry and finance. We received an overview of growing sectors like open education, farming forward, hybrid finance, and children financing. The presentation was followed by an informal and open discussion around Social entrepreneurship in Luxembourg, Europe, and beyond.

While Ashoka is not formally established in Luxembourg, we have opened up discussions on how we can form bridges and hopefully discover some future Ashoka Fellows in the growing social impact community developing in Luxembourg.

The power of coworking, testimonials from of our members

19 June, 2014 in news, The Impactory

Our in-house journalist Katie Nail is following some of the exciting happenings at The Impactory. Read more, below.


Many things make The Impactory a great place for entrepreneurship, business, and enterprise. Our members, the decor, coffee, and the spirit of the place all contribute to its innovative community. One of the many ways our members “plug in” to the Impactory community is through coworking.

Coworking is sharing a workspace with other people involved in independent work activities. The people sharing the space are not working for the same company but are sharing a space for collaboration, socialization, and their independent work. While every person is working on his or her own business, the effects of working with like-minded individuals is often significant.

To better demonstrate the power of coworking, we’ve interviewed several of our current coworkers and asked them why they like working at The Impactory.

Will-mailchimp

Will Mernagh has been living and working in Luxembourg for almost two years. He writes code for Iora Health based in Boston. When he moved to Luxembourg, he began working remotely. “I would definitely recommend it,” Mernagh says of The Impactory.  “They have a clear distinction between quiet space and social space…it has everything you need.” Because he works east coast hours, he only comes a few times a month but said he makes a point to come for the social interactions.

Robert-mailchimp

Roberto Vitón is one of the most frequent coworkers at The Impactory. He coworks about three weeks a month. Vitón set up his own consultancy business last year. He uses his significant background in agriculture to advise fund managers in food and agriculture investment. He has been a member of The Impactory since January after a friend recommended visiting. Vitón says he likes how affordable the coworking space is and said of the Impactory, “Sometimes the good value is in the simple stuff. . . .The whole combination is effective.”  Lean more about his business at www.valoral.com.

Patricio-mailchimp

Patricio Rubinstein found out about The Impactory from fellow member Roberto Vitón. He has been using The Impactory since September 2013 and has his own business as a consultant. “I really use this as my working space. As I was growing, I didn’t want to get into office commitments, furniture, IT assistance. . . . I want to start small here and also I enjoy the people that come every day.” He prefers to sit upstairs where there is a greater flow of people. He really likes the social side of being at The Impactory and the opportunity it provides to share ideas.

Cristina Pico

Cristina Picco was looking for a coworking space in Luxembuorg after visiting The Hub in Berlin. Through word of mouth she heard about the Impactory. She has been a member for almost a year, coming three times a week. She likes coworking because it is an easy way to meet people and network. “Being in a network helps a lot . . . it’s a good way to hear about new opportunities and coming out [of the] house to meet people.” Picco is a co-founder of Mamie et Moi, a non-profit that sells baby clothes made by elderly knitters.

Facilitating Human Sustainability with Isabel Page

4 June, 2014 in members, news, The Impactory

Our in-house journalist Katie Nail is following some of the exciting happenings at The Impactory.


Pressures from a turbulent economy, an increasingly competitive work environment and aggressive business practices are creating a workforce that is suffering from chronic stress. According to the World Health Organization, by 2030 burnout and depression will, together, become the number one global disease burden. Fortunately, entrepreneurs like Isabel Page recognize the need for healthier business practices. She believes that the development of leaders and individuals to be positive forces for change can improve their work environments for the better.
“I am passionate in the belief that tohave a sustainable planetwe need to be sustainable as people.” Page says, describing her outlook.

I Page photo
Page has been working as an Organizational Transformation Partner (OTP) in Luxembourg since 1997. Her work as an OTP has been in both the public and private sector where she honed her expertise in leadership development, training and executive coaching. She also worked for an international political institution, as a part of the Secretary-General’s team, restructuring and developing HR practices and processes. Since 2012 Page has been working as an independent consultant in organizational change. She also develops and accompanies business leaders and managers in the creation of work environments that are sustainable for both the business and their employees.

Page facilities sustainability by teaching groups and individuals communication practices such as listening, observing and using all the human senses. These practices are key to creating a better working environment, but they are also vital for helping individuals achieve goals unrelated to work. These practices benefit relationships and help to build self-confidence outside of the workplace.

Page was inspired to develop this method in 2010 after working with the Centro Ecológico, in Akumal, Mexico, on their sea turtle project. This experience connected her with Dr C. Otto Scharmer, Chair of the Presencing Institute at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. Through her collaboration with Dr Scharmer, she began developing workshops for leaders, coaches, managers and professionals.

She has brought that expertise to Luxembourg as a visiting lecturer at the University of Luxembourg for the Certificate in Sustainability, and as an independent consultant.  Since January, she has also hosted taster workshops on client communication at The Impactory, teaching these strategies to individuals. The workshops are not just for executives. As Page explains, the workshops are beneficial for people in all stages of their career and lives.

“We are all leaders in life, even if only of ourselves…The benefit [of the workshops] for young people and those in mid-career change is simply that they have great tools to analyze what is their purpose in life and how to get to where they would like to go and be the person they would like to be.”

Recently Page was handpicked by MIT to attend a master class on development, available to only 60 people globally. She will attend the class in November, where she will be working on high-level global projects with a focus on setting up a research programme at the University of Luxembourg.

The Impactory is pleased to have the support of Page. She calls The Impactory “a breath of fresh air” for Luxembourg, and she is enthusiastic when describing the opportunities it provides for entrepreneurs. For more information or to contact Isabel visit her LinkedIn Page here.

Perbedaan Antara Slot Gacor dan Slot Biasa

Slot Gacor berbeda dengan slot biasa dalam hal frekuensi kemenangan. Pemain yang memilih RTP Slot Gacor biasanya merasakan lebih banyak kemenangan, meskipun nilainya bervariasi. Ini terjadi karena slot ini dirancang untuk memberikan pengembalian yang lebih tinggi. Memilih Slot RTP Tertinggi bisa menjadi cara untuk memastikan pengalaman bermain yang lebih menyenangkan.
