Carla
and I attended two weeks ago the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in
Milan. It has been a powerful and exciting experience, because we
waited a long to finally meet directly someone of the KaufmanFoundation, that we consider one of the
best international institutions involved and aimed to
entrepreneurship education at different levels.
What
we saw exceeded our expectations, because we attended very helpful
sessions; we heard very high profiles speeches and perspectives; we
had the chance to meet Ms Wendy Torrance, director of
Entrepreneurship at the Foundation, that has been so kind to listen
to Carla and me about our work on training entrepreneurial attitudes
in Italy. Thanks a lot Wendy!
In
the exhibition area we also met Henrik Scheel, founder and CEO of
Startup Experience, the great course that
brings in the world the Silicon Valley entrepreneurship culture. We
already knew him thanks to LinkedIn but to meet him in person it has
been a lovely experience and we found very interesting talking with
him about the importance of mindset. Because we share the same
vision: the entrepreneurial attitudes are the very basis, non just if
you want to open a new business but, more generally, if you want to
change your life or the world around you.
So
we would like to share the TedTalk that Henrik hold in Sacramento in
2012, because we consider it very illuminating. And we hope to start
collaborating in the next future to empower Italy with a more
entrepreneurial mindset!
