Social Enterprise (Islets)

this is not a firm. our approach to social enterprise is an interdisciplinary symposium for leadership, education, training, and service (islets). this is an informal self-organizing enterprise of people who are interested in connecting islands of meaningful interpersonal engagement through dialogue that provides visibility and opportunities for influence at a distance as for people who are co-located. the objective is for one's observations and opinions to become grounded in the reality of someone else. the influence that occurs in this grounded dialogue has consequences, momentarily beyond the dialogue, that eventually are visible and thus for which one is inescapably accountable. it brings the second-person standpoint to peer-to-peer interactions among leaders who are embedded in different situations. it thus blurs the distinction between presence and remoteness as well as between first-hand and second-hand experience (see e.g., http://www.scribd.com/doc/41888356). the logo for isle
