    Personally, I balanced my corporate career consulting business with pro bono work & ran a social enterprise training, supporting & employing people with problems. Was very satisfying.

    So chose "Doing Good Better: Effective Altruism and How You Can Make a Difference"

      Interesting. I left the corporate world for the startup world, but plan to get into social enterprise (probably in the neurodiversity advocacy and support space)

        Sounds great! Hope it works out.

        My business specialised in helping people & businesses to think & see things differently. Thinking the same is not often an advantage.

        [eg The State Manager of a Multinational developed a completely new product (worth ~$300M/yr) for his company, during 5min play with soft toys on my office floor.
        3 weeks earlier he was just their Sales Rep - complaining about the State Manager! They just didn't see his potential. That's what I loved to do - bring out the potential in people.]

        I would share with my clients the wonderful insights of coming from a very different starting point - such as neurodiversity.
        A hero to me is Temple Grandin. So inspiring.
