About Carol Sanford:
“I have written several book, the most recent is The Responsible Business and the new one we are talking about today is The Responsible Entrepreneur. I used to be a professional improvisational performer and standup comic.
There are two intersections in my own personal life experience. One is the clients, colleagues and students in universities where I teach that I have seen doing things that I knew at the level of entrepreneurship was possible for everyone to do but it always showed up in magazines in a very funny way. The other thing that was an intersection was I was raised closely by my maternal grandfather who is a descendant of the tribe of Mohawk survivors and he passed along the stories to me of how they rebuilt the nation based on four archetypes that he was exposed to. I saw how I could really explain what was going on with my clients and these amazing leaders in a way that entrepreneurs could take on much bigger change and pull more together than they knew was possible.”
