Small Giants is offering a new virtual course for investors interested in using capital as a force for good, Journey to Impact. The course is designed to educate and empower you to explore the alignment of wealth with values, and to inspire others to do the same through your leadership.

In 2020, there is over US$45 trillion globally invested in socially responsible investments (JP Morgan ESG research data), and US$716 billion invested in impact (Global Impact Investment Network annual report). In Australia alone, the total value of impact investment products has risen 249% between 2017 and 2019 to $19.9 billion. More and more people are going ‘all in’, and committing their resources to creating a new, purpose-driven economy where the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit can be achieved and thrive.

This four part virtual course hosted by Small Giants Academy will support you in thinking about how to transition your resources to impact, and provide you with a network of like-minded peers to explore how to use private capital to manifest and implement personal and family values – for current and future generations.

Journey to Impact will give you practical skills in investment and portfolio creation, foundational underpinnings around your purpose, and a multigenerational approach to wealth as an energy source toward great impact. Guided by co-founder of Small Giants Danny Almagor in an intimate group, we will explore:

The Good Society: the impact economy, the doughnut and happiness
Money and Meaning: money disorders, what money can’t buy and the purpose of capital
The Good Life: personal vision, values and purpose
Spectrum of Impact: impact landscape from philanthropy to impact investing
Designing your Portfolio: structure, asset classes and measurement
Impact in Action: due diligence, investment pitches and deal flow
Psychology of Change: telling your story and bringing people with you
Family Tree: parents, siblings and kids manifesting and implementing family values
Getting Started: Creating a plan and next steps

Testimonial

“A deep and transformational pivot in my thinking. It pushed me to a point of welcome discomfort around how I was showing up in the world, and what more I could be doing to be of service to something greater. Since then, my personal journey to impact has expanded, enriching the lives and the values of my family, and has given me a north star to a much more meaningful way of being and contributing”.

People

Journey to Impact is designed for the ‘next generation’ of financial wealth holders - those who have created wealth in their generation and those who are recipients of a family wealth legacy. This program is strictly limited in capacity to ensure intimacy and connection.
