This doesn’t mean that you might be standing in front of a crowd of 300 and introducing yourself, explains the author, an internationally-recognized certified etiquette professional (CEP) and certified protocol professional (CPP). What it does means is that when you meet someone for the first time, you are making an impression on them – through your expression, voice, words – that they will be likely to share with others in their network of friends and family. Your reputation gets around in absentia, without your being there to defend or change people’s opinion.

So, be careful. The first time you present yourself to someone – whether by phone or in person - check your body language, tone of voice, and words. Make sure you appear friendly and approachable, and that what you have to say is kind, appropriate and understandable. Use the other person’s name when you say hello and goodbye and keep the conversation upbeat.

The positive impression you make on that one person will be the impression they will share with the other 300 people in their personal network.

Join the International Network of Social Entrepreneurs, a group I have started with the intent to create a platform for Social Entrepreneurs to connect globally and collaborate on a number of key projects.

Hopefully, a number of new synergies will come into existence out of it, my vision is to have different stakeholders combining their expertise and talents, working in a highly collaborative fashion to contribute to the eradication of poverty and the restoration of peace on Earth.

In 2002, the United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed by all 191 UN member states, set a target to halve world poverty by 2015, and to end world poverty altogether by 2025; It is our common responsibility to fulfill this promise.

Social Entrepreneurs recognize a social problem and use entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make changes that are sustainable and for the highest good of humanity. Social entrepreneurship is the work of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change.

Whereas business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, social entrepreneurs assess their success in terms of the impact they have on society. While social entrepreneurs often work through nonprofits and citizen groups, many work in the private and governmental sectors; Dixit Wikipedia.
