Yesterday, I lost a friend, who dedicated his life to protecting wildlife in some of East Africa’s most renowned national parks. Mark Jenkins, and his son Peter, were tragically killed when flying over Tsavo National Park while conducting an aerial patrol.

Entrepreneurship is 5% timing, 5% idea, 10% talent and 80% not f'ing stopping.

[Christine Simone @chris_simone]

Officially convinced that a sales background is the most valuable one for a founder. Coming from Harvard or McKinsey matters a lot less if you can’t get users, raise money, or recruit (all sales)

@HarryStebbings We're trying to do that with @getupskillme, most solutions are funded by parents which disadvantages many students. Big employers need to be harnessed more to provide real world learning projects, immersive field trips, meaningful work experience etc 🤓

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had a school for our kids that taught real life skills:

How to sell?

How to listen?

The power of compounding?

How to speak in public effectively?

How to manage your own mindset?

Imagine the generation of children it would create.

We are passionate about personal development. “Personal development” to us means “everything you develop at school other than academic learning.” That is why a main aim of our Aspirations Programme is to help ALL students achieve beyond the grades. 💫

Great advice! 👏

The amazing Aisling Byrne, founder of @wearenuw, smashes it with this piece on pitching in a patriarchy - if I could bottle her verve and tenacity...... So lucky to work with this woman and her ace company https://t.co/Tt24bIvHua cc. @bg_ventures

Hiring someone to "figure out sales" rarely works. Startup founders have to learn how to sell, period.

A great resource shared with us by @getupskillme, encouraging students to think about some key #employability skills in the context of all the latest Euros excitement!

Another great way to continue to engage and excite students about #personaldevelopment
