I'm french living in Paris, I will give you some infos about my life project, because we need to be known in your country:
I co-founded EVE-OLUTION FOUNDATION Inc. (our motto = "The Global Soft Power of Change") an independent, global, not for profit organization (founded in 2002).
This Global NGO, participant to the UN Global Compact, is building a tribe of high potential and successful Women entrepreneurs around the world, who, together, as influencers, can make a better world for our children. Therefore, EVE-olution is coaching women entrepreneurs in developing and emerging countries, (80% of our planet) Women because they are the cement of society in these countries, so that they can grow their businesses, hire locally (reversing the rural exodus), become local influencers and role models, and act for less pollution and terrorism, and more well-being, each in her own country.
Their coaches are retired executives (a groing not-used population), corporate volunteers and young BA students (who need global experiences) from around the world, their main objective is to upgrade the profitability of women entrepreneurs they have in charge. They are helping them to be adapted to new strategies, like organic products, fair trade, new trends, .. (business coaching versus grant or loan).
The foundation aims at finance its actions only with corporations and individuals, no governmental funds, run without the expensive logistic of employee and permanent office, use its budget to cover the expense accounts of volunteers.
