If you feel you have seen this article, it is possible, I had posted it last year and there’s also a the French version here. Une video que tout entrepreneur doit voir : Ernesto Sirolli. As it’s summer I decided to change a bit the way I offer my reruns and I repost changing the date an article already posted.
I Saw this on a blog lately, and I was really moved by this Ted video Ernesto Sirolli : Want to help someone? Shut up and listen of because for the first time I heard the truth about why most of nonprofit organization in africa are failing and why it’s totally absurd to keep on going that way. Dr. Ernesto Sirolli perfectly illustred Albert Einstein quote « Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. » Italian-born, Dr. Ernesto Sirolli is the Founder of the Sirolli Institute, an international nonprofit organization that teaches community leaders how to establish and maintain Enterprise Facilitation projects in their community. Dr. Sirolli is a noted authority in the field of sustainable economic development, and is in demand as a speaker worldwide.In 1985, he pioneered in Esperance, a small rural community in Western Australia, a unique economic development approach based on harnessing the passion, determination, intelligence, and resourcefulness of the local people.
I needed to share this with you, because, it’s something that a lot of entrepreneurs also do, not listening to prospects pains when they approached them. I told about this, on this top : 3 best ways to a successful prospecting plan.
Isn’t he absolutely incredible ? So easy, so simple to ask about the pains and just shup up and listen to them.
Thank you to share this. I like the italian charm, this accent is so beautiful and all that he say should be shared around the world. We know something of what he says with all that we suffered from Anglo here in Quebec.
Oh really Dominique ? I hope you tell me more about it one of this days
Listening is hard. We tend to hear what we want to hear. How to really listen and not making interpretations ? xx
I couldn’t say it better Isobel ! Thanks for that !
J’y serais aller en famille pour toute l’après-midi si j’avais été sur place. Je vais quand même aller voir le site, çà a l’air plutot bien comme affiche.
Qui se sent morveux…
Humm ma chère Alphonsyne, tu t’es trompée de sujet, tu voulais comment le Pagnifik j’imagine ?
I do not agree with everything he says but 80% is very real.
That’s fine Guillaume ! Thank you for reading !
I like the way he thinks I look at the French version to see what you say too.
Great Christian, let me know what you think !
Grande dottore !
Si Giovi ! Grazie per il commento !
For me there is nothing new in what he says, he applies a principle of sale to another theme that’s it!
C’mon Philippe, everything is old, remember Lavoisier’s quote don’t know it in English » rien In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything changes.”
I have experienced what Ernesto speaks to both business and non-governmental organizations. Asking questions is my number one rule, 2 of my best questions are Why? and Could you explain more?
