Life coach Sophie Anderson shares her passion for driving change through social enterprise, and her experience in CQU’s iActivate social entrepreneur accelerator.

Hear how the community-minded entrepreneur has designed and grown her impact, and discover the thriving ecosystem of social enterprise in Cairns.

Sophie joined the CQUniversity iActivate Accelerate program and transformed a vague idea into a purposeful social enterprise, designing a strong and resilient business and adapting it to real-life challenges.

Her mission extends beyond her clients, as she understands social innovation is a shared responsibility for improving the world we live in.

For Sophie, that starts with improving our own wellbeing, creating a vision, and making plans to bring ideas to life and create a positive change.

iActivate is delivered by CQUniversity and impact-led business Impact Boom – a self-paced, ultra-flexible and affordable online short course, to guide aspiring and early-stage social entrepreneurs from idea to impact
