The Art of Living for Social Entrepreneurs

In an increasingly complex global society, what tools do social entrepreneurs need to transform the world around them? At the heart of any successful social entrepreneurs are mental, emotional and interpersonal skills that allow them to communicate effectively and to thrive in uncertain, risky, and challenging situations. Art of Living's program for Social Entrepreneurs develops the personal characteristics inherent to any successful social entrepreneur:
- Sustained sense of responsibility to improve the world and its inhabitants rather than pursue self-focused aims
- Commitment and determination
- Creativity and adaptability
- Comfort with uncertainty and risk
- Personal accountability for every action
- Naturalness and effective communication skills
