High-Impact Entrepreneurship

In early May, three Endeavor staff members, Rhett Morris, Daniela Terminel, and Bianca Martinelli participated in this year’s American Express Leadership Academy at Thunderbird, School of Global Management. In bringing together rising stars in the social sector, Thunderbird Associate Vice President Joy Lubeck explains, “The program helps participants from across the sector broaden their perspectives. They are able to learn from one another and see things through a different lens.” Twenty-seven participants gathered, representing ten organizations: Action Against Hunger, UNICEF, Endeavor, CGI, FARM-Africa, Save the Children, Un Techo Para Mi País,Women for Women, Global Giving, and IFRC. Highlights included classes about interpersonal communication skills, power and politics, and exercises in self-assessment.
