Hollyhock, social impact gatherings & leading change (Laurel Dault)

The Impactors Podcast

"The state that we're in environmentally, economically; we have come to this place because businesses of the past have focused solely on growth. When you take a social impact lens in your business, you ensure longevity for your business and for us as a species."

Episode #61 of Season 2 of The Social Impactors Podcast features #SocialImpactor Laurel Dault, Social Innovation Manager of Hollyhock. As Social Innovation Manager at Hollyhock, Laurel Dault produces and co-facilitates Social Venture Institute, a series of conferences for mission-driven leaders and social entrepreneurs. Laurel is passionate about leveraging business to do good and impact investing, all with a curiosity around how these systems themselves maintain the status quo. Laurel's work in leadership and innovation has brought her from the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, to THNK School of Creative Leadership in Amsterdam, to Female Funders in Vancouver.
Laurel holds an MSc in Developmental Psychology from Queen's University, has trained as a Coach with CTI, and (most formatively) spent many years performing as a comedic improviser.

Laurel and I talk in more detail about her work in building social impact, how her journey led her to manage and coordinate one of the longest running conferences that focus on impact in the world, and why she believes businesses of the future will all be driven by building a better social impact in the world.
