SUMMARY:Social Enterprise Journey - Understanding the System (3-part series)
DESCRIPTION:The Social Enterprise Journey is a three-part leadership experience designed for business owners\, founders\, and leaders who want to strengthen both the impact and sustainability of their work through revenue-generating ventures that also strengthen their communities. \nAcross Ontario\, more leaders are asking: \nHow do we build businesses that are financially strong and meaningfully contribute to our communities? \nThis series brings together practical tools\, strategic frameworks\, and facilitated peer dialogue to help you step back\, think clearly\, and move forward with intention. \nLed by Jessica Flynn (Social Innovation Fellow\, Georgian College) and supported by Georgian’s mobile Community Impact Lab\, this is not a typical workshop—it’s a guided strategic journey. \nSESSION 1 INFORMATION: Understanding the System \nEvery meaningful change effort begins with understanding the system we are working within. In this session\, participants explore the deeper causes of the challenges they want to address and identify the key actors shaping the system. Arrive from 9:00 AM for coffee and light networking; session begins at 9:30. \nSESSION 2 INFORMATION: Designing Your Impact Strategy \nThis expanded session explores how changemakers translate vision into strategy. We begin at Simcoe Street Theatre with a screening of Uncharitable — a film that challenges everything we think we know about how communities fund change. We then walk to the library for a working lunch and Theory of Change workshop. Arrive from 9:00 AM; film runs approx. 9:45–11:30 AM; Theory of Change begins 12:30 PM. \nSESSION 3 INFORMATION: Activating Your Plan \nIn the final gathering\, participants return with fresh perspective to refine their strategic direction. We review and strengthen each person’s Theory of Change\, explore the Flourishing Business Model framework for sustainable impact\, and identify priorities and partnerships for the year ahead. You’ll leave with a clear strategic roadmap for 2027 and beyond. Arrive from 9:00 AM for coffee and networking; session begins at 9:30. \nLearn more about this 3-part series: https://www.thejessicaflynn.com/store/p/the-social-enterprise-journey-2026-cohort-equipping-a-network-of-changemakers-349hst
