        What is the meaning behind, "Global Grassroots"?

      • Why "Global Grassroots"?

         

        Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the term, Grassroots, as "being, originating, or operating in or at the very foundation or source". It is this definition that defines our quintessential partner.

        Ian Shepardson

        CEO & Founder, Global Grassroots Consulting

        Ian grew up in a privileged society with a loving family. He understands that not everyone is as fortunate. During his time at Babson College, Ian realized his passion for helping people. Mainly, he discovered a desire to support those who are effected by many of today's societal issues, including but not limited to discrimination and poverty. Ian wants to now use his privilege for good.

         

        Jon Feinman, the Founder and CEO of the Boston-based Nonprofit Organization, InnerCity Weightlifting, spoke in a class of Ian's in 2018. During his speech, Mr. Feinman discussed the work that ICW does in uplifting people who are victimized by issues involving systemic racism and mass incarceration. Ian thought his presentation to be overwhelmingly moving. From the moment that Jon Feinman shared stories of the people who ICW serve and the lives that they foster, Ian knew that he too wanted to make a positive impact on the World through his work. But how?

        Much of Ian's professional career is rooted in Sales, Outreach and Relationship Building. In the past, Ian worked in both Retail and Corporate environments. He successfully delivered results across a multitude of sales mediums. This includes, but is not limited to mediums such as Face to Face, Cold Calling, LinkedIn, Email and Video Conferencing. In addition to his Sales experience, Ian is well experienced in the Information Technology space. He worked in the telecommunications industry while in school, and was knowledgeable of the specs for all products sold. Ian earned a concentration in IT during his time at Babson, and acquired skills in coding, website design and Agile Methodology. Since then, he successfully created 3 websites (this one, his personal website and The Chefs' site). Ian is also well-versed in the Digital Marketing space. He hosted and publicized a successful client event via LinkedIn. Ian uses applications such as Canva, Vidyard and VEED to create original, creative content for his Digital Marketing efforts. The question remains: how does this apply to Social Impact?

         

        Ian uses his abilities in Sales, IT and Marketing, to support and develop companies that work to solve today's societal issues, at the Grassroots level. In doing so, his clients' outreach and impact expand.
