Why are Americans so successful with creating businesses? What drives innovation and entrepreneurship? Why do we visit the apple building, and what do we hope to get out of that visit? In this informative and very funny talk, Ernesto Sirolli addresses these questions. Sirolli uses real life examples explaining the cultural differences between creating businesses in the US (or more specifically California) versus Europe. Dr. Ernesto Sirolli has been referred to as a community development ‘Iron Man’. His experiences, working in many of the world poorest communities, confirmed his appreciation for human potential and spurred him to develop Enterprise Facilitation i.e. a model of local economic development based on capturing the passion, intelligence and resolve of local entrepreneurs. Sirolli resides in California and runs the Sirolli Institute, a social enterprise that teaches civic leaders, governments and corporations how to partner with local people to create long lasting prosperity.
Sirolli is the author of two books Ripples from the Zambezi and How to start a business and ignite your life. In 2012, Sirolli gave a TEDx Talk titled: “Shut up and Listen”. The talk has been translated into 35 languages and has been viewed nearly 3 million times. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
