· Businesses can be a force for good & evidence shows there is no trade-off between impact and profit.
· The growing growth of focus on kindness, community and what is important to us during COVID-19 lockdown.
· How we are currently at a fork in the road and the route we take – back to the old way of doing things or a new way is our choice.
· The benefits to a business from being a force for good.
· Taking back to the facts and make a strategic decision.
· Using story to share the impact you make.
· The importance of focusing on family finances.
