Why social enterprises must nurture their talent and how to do it with Craig Carey

Craig Carey is co-founder and director of business at Bubble Chamber CIC which specialises in business consultancy for other social enterprises.

Before "taking the leap" to launch Bubble Chamber a few years ago, Craig worked in a bank, studied for an MBA, became interested in international development and worked in Africa, helped charities with strategic planning and then spent 5 years at Social Enterprise UK.

Now Craig helps social enterprises address 5 core strategic areas, including clarity of purpose, effective leadership, developing and nurturing talent and more.

In this episode Craig and Heidi cover the biggest challenges to social enterprises' sustainability and discuss strategies you can implement in your own social enterprise to empower your people and increase your resilience.

Hi, I’m Heidi Fisher, the host of the Make an Impact Podcast. I'm an impact measurement expert, passionate about helping you make a bigger impact in the world by maximising the impact your services have.

I can help you to measure, manage and communicate the impact you have better to funders, investors, commissioners and other stakeholders, and to systemise your data collection and analysis so that it frees up time and doesn’t become an additional burden.

I love helping you to measure social and economic impacts, including Social Return on Investment or value for money assessments, as part of understanding the change you make to peoples’ lives.

You can get in touch via LinkedIn or the website makeanimpactcic.co.uk if you’d like to find out more about working with me.
