The challenge for the group will be to move beyond pure marketing and spread the entrepreneurial spirit to the people that the UN is actually trying to help. Entrepreneurship is increasingly viewed as a catalyst for economic growth in poverty-stricken countries.

The council's new members aren't waiting for March. Neil Blumenthal, co-CEO of game-changing eyewear maker Warby Parker, has helped forge a relationship between the UN andCommunity Enterprise Solutions, a not-for-profit that trains women in low-income areas to start their own businesses. Now he's interested in using the UN's clout to push policies that are friendlier to entrepreneurs. "There are bureaucracies in business, government, and at the UN," Blumenthal says. "But entrepreneurs don't see that obstacle as insurmountable. It's something we have to work through to create change." And to pass on to others what they know.

What Alfie Kohn thinks of parent involvement shrd.by/5JdlEZ#edchat #ptchat
Alfie Kohn says, “While everyone wants parents to be engaged with what their children are doing in school, what matters more is the nature of that engagement. There’s a big difference between a parent who’s focused on what the child is doing – that is, on the learning itself – and a parent who’s focused on how well the child is doing
