Network Size- from the small is beautiful to - really big

I'd call our SKIL2 network a little gem. Small but beautifully formed. What we lack in size -we make up in quality. For me - it feels like a safe space to try out my own SKIL2 learning. I also need to wander out - in real and virtual time - and see what other peo… Continue

SKIL2 progress and need for patience when I get frustrated

In the last week I've been busy doing a few things: 1. Writing my application for the Social Entrepreneur Ireland award. It's worth 5000 euro and links into their mentoring and networking. All done and sent off on Thursday. Love checking things of the list. 2. Confirming the national non profit partner for SKIL2. I won't name them yet as we are sorting out resources.
