Global Entrepreneurship Week is a worldwide movement of entrepreneurial people, with millions unleashing their enterprising talents and turning their ideas into reality.
It began as Enterprise Week in the UK back in 2004. When news of the phenomenal success of Enterprise Week in the UK spread the globe, lots of other countries got excited about the potential of running similar initiatives in their own countries. Since its inception, Global Entrepreneurship Week has spread to 115 countries, with nearly 24,000 organisations planning more than 37,000 activities.
The Future 100 Awards were first launched in 2008 to recognise and profile young entrepreneurs running businesses, which have a triple bottom line. The definition of a triple bottom line, is a business that addresses people, planet and profit. They have a strong commercial foundation as well as a significant social and environmental impact.
The award, sponsored by Ernst & Young (I used to work there) recognises the success of young entrepreneurs aged 18-35 who demonstrate entrepreneurial flair and innovation in progressing a responsible business venture. I am pleased to announce that I am considered to be one of the Future 100 Young Social Entrepreneurs of the Year, on Social Enterprise Day during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2011.
I am the founder of Self-Central, a baby right now but one that I am slowly feeding and nurturing and which will be birthed soon. Self-Central is about Knowing, understanding, owning and embracing who you are, in order to be all that you are. The objective of the company is to strengthen the wholeness of individuals from the inside out, through the acknowledgement of Self-Awareness, Self-Acceptance and Self-Love. These are the core aspects of Self-Central because no matter what job you have, position or title you have acquired, who you are is central to everything!

My blog, once again got me noticed, so again thank you to everyone who reads and retweets. I would also like to thank Lydia Frempong who put me forward, thank you kindly. I am surprised but also happy because this blog is the foundation of Self-Central. Through my words you see me in all its transparency. My passion, geekiness, strong sense of justice, humour, trials an tribulations and more. Whilst my views are subjective this is me and in each article I am BE-ing. Some may or may not agree with my expressions but it's okay. Be-ing is okay and that is the point of Self-Central. So...
To be or not to be?
There is no question. To BE is the only option.
Self-Central will be coming soon!Founder of Striding Out and organiser of the Future100 awards, Heather Wilkinson said: "The future of our world is in the hands of individuals who are committed to generating commercial and ethical returns.
