Sirolli - breath of fresh air for council
A powerful message about a simple catalyst for change will be delivered to the Fraser Coast on Friday.
It comes just weeks before the new Fraser Coast Regional Council elections and shines a strong light on a path down which the new council could walk.
The Dr. Ernesto way of invigorating local economies by tapping into entrepreneurs at grass roots level has given a vibrant new lease of life to hundreds of towns in a dozen or so countries.
His inspiring message is both simple and complex.
The simple part is to help a town (or in our case a region) appoint a facilitator to draw the threads of funding, markets, transport and expert advice to get a business venture off the ground.
More complex is the way the facilitator is trained to draw out the entrepreneurs. they have interesting riding instructions; they are not allowed to initiate anything nor are they allowed to motivate anyone.
If the passion comes fro the person with the dream, the facilitator helps turn it into reality.
The Sirolli initiative is a breath of fresh air in the midst of our current council election. After the messy smear campaigns and anonymous venom on the Internet, we have genuine interest from good people who sincerely want to give our united region a quick leg-up.
