Today, I handed in the final assignment of my Social Impact course. It has been a full-on year that tested me in so many ways and while it has been a privilege to go back to study, I am ready for this chapter to finish.
It was a four-unit graduate certificate delivered in blocks of 6 weeks over a year and designed for people working in the social sector. We covered areas such as social entrepreneurship, measurement for social impact, philanthropy and social investment as well as leadership.
It was fantastic to learn alongside some amazing
people as well as hear from amazing speakers from the Not-For-Profit space as
well as from the corporate world. It was also lovely to study at UWA which has
to be one of Australia’s most beautiful campuses. It was so lovely to walk
through the campus each day to get to the Business School and enjoy the lovely
campus.
Apart from a short trip to Bali, the next challenge
is to put it into practice. A common struggle is that people come out from such
experiences and want to put it into practice but organisations are run by those
who haven’t been through the program and aren’t really open to new idea and are
hell-bent on keeping the status quo.
But
that’s going to change. Society deserves better than mediocre services, leaders
and organisations. Enough excuses and things are going to change. Trust me!!
