Mark Cheng tables some ideas on how we can change the culture within the social sector - to address the unhealthy martyr complex, the lack of financial recognition for founders and how we can support social entrepreneurs to prepare for their eldership.

Gary Cohen and Neelam Chhiber discuss this important question.

In a deeply personal and transformative dialogue, Elaine Miller-Karas and Ma. Cecilia Flores-Oebanda embark on an extraordinary exploration of healing and transition.

Drawing from the experiences of Rupert Roniger, Kathryn Hall-Trujillo, and Ruth Ibegbuna, we explore practical lessons for social entrepreneurs facing these pivotal moments.

Neelam Chhiber and Jacob Mathew discuss their succession journeys as individuals and as a couple, providing valuable practical insights.
