Milestones
Years
ago, our evaluation of business opportunity for an impoverished
and outcast group of Ethiopian Jews, pointed to micro-enterprise
development. Yet, the reality of their condition was such that
there had to be "something more." It was the search for that "something
more" that led to the development our Global Equippers program.
In
Minsk, Belarus our program helped start a handful of small family-owned
businesses. With them, we trained the leaders for a small group
of new and potential business owners who met to pray, encourage
and simply to be a support to one another. Not only did the new
businesses grow, but in two years the number of businesses from
that group quadrupled.
In
Israel, our program has been the means to train, orient and help
numerous small businesses to get their start. By bypassing the
Western tendency toward rugged individualism and returning to
the strong community roots held by the Jewish people, businesses
that were started have not only grown, but have assisted others.
For example, a single mother with a distinct talent as a hairdresser,
not only operates a home business that pays her bills while allowing
her to care for her children, but she employs other single mothers
who she trains to support themselves as she does.
In
central Africa, existing and potential entrepreneurs traveled
up to 600 kilometers across wastelands to embrace the entrepreneurial
and community principles needed to commercialize their individual
talents and come under the radar to break the bondage of poverty
that impacts so many areas across Africa. In eastern Russia, existing,
seasoned entrepreneurs were trained as mentors to assist new and
potential business-owners to plan with the wisdom needed to turn
risk and adversity into realistic opportunity.
Around
the world, Global Initiatives is paving new ground with faith-based
initiatives that offer hope and change, where hope is often dim.
As catalysts for change, its venues are opening gateways of opportunity
that succeed against the odds, in a time of growing instabilities,
when the ground rules are undergoing major paradigm shifts.
Global Initiatives'
activities and agendas utilize the vehicles of workshops and conferences;
business startup expertise, corporate-level planning management
consulting; as well as professional involvement and coaching with
joint ventures, corporate turnarounds, new venture activities
and entrepreneurial training as a platform for community building.
Likewise, these initiatives incorporate the professional
expertise of pyschotherapy and counseling by means of classes
and seminars; and psychological and spiritual restoration programs.

THE
MODEL: A BRIEFING
|
The
rules have changed. Old models are falling short. Enduring
foundations are adrift. Challenging times demand something
more.
As
the rules change, defining opportunity means operating beyond
the ordinary. It means avoiding the status quo, the trendy
and a herd-instinct that panics. It means restoring foundations
proven to bridge turmoil.
By
understanding where we are heading, we can better discern
the pathway defining how we need to be proceeding. This
high-level briefing will reflect expertise from business,
government, economics, psychotherapy, banking, entrepreneurship,
forecasting, manufacturing, economics, energy and more with
updates on key issues that point to defining the enduring
model that has consistently brought increase and blessing
to nations and societies.
