Early last week I posted on LinkedIn about JUNO recently becoming a certified Social Trader. If you missed it – the post went exactly like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Business-for-good’ has a certain ring to it – don’t you think?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With about as much pleasure as I can muster, my post here is to let you know that JUNO is now a recognised and certified Social Enterprise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Social Enterprises are ‘businesses for good’; existing specifically to solve complex problems – and make the world a better place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When I became aware of the Social Enterprise \/ Social Trader movement I felt given our purpose and reason for being at JUNO, along with the work we do in the corporate, government, and community sectors, exploring certification was a must.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, we explored, we applied, we were assessed and tested, and just recently we received news of our successful certification.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘Certification ensures everyone has confidence that your social enterprise model really is about creating social or environmental impact through trade.’ That’s JUNO through and through.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our October Journal will be out early next week and we’ll have more on the Social Enterprise journey in that. For now – it’s off to the (certified) future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am buzzing with excitement about JUNO being a recognised Social Enterprise<\/a>. In time I am of course hopeful that it will lead to additional commercial opportunities for us, but right now certification itself is enough to celebrate given the niche that JUNO occupies in the hub between the corporate, government and community sectors. It’s a fitting recognition of the work we do, and have always done, impacting and transforming lives at work and way beyond the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather than explain the whole Social Traders piece here I thought I\u2019d include the link for you to explore, so that you can learn more about the \u2018movement\u2019 yourself: We are definitely off to the social-trader-certified<\/a> future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JUNO we read plenty and we listen to lots connected to Leadership, Leadership Development, Coaching and more. We have too, to stay current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each month we\u2019ll include a link (or two or three) to an article or podcast that is topical and timely for you to read or listen to and reflect on. Curating and sharing is just our humble way of contributing to the pursuit of excellence in all things leading and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this month:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/shorturl.at\/oxBGH<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
