Sir Richard Branson is reportedly going to visit Romania in May! He is one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs of our days and a personal role model given his multifaceted achievement, whether in business, personal life, charity work, music or sport.
A visionary with astounding resources, Richard Branson is the offspring of Britain’s economic boom following the WWII. A man of many talents with undeterred perseverance when it comes to the pursuit of his vision, Richard Branson once said:
“My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them”.
Thanks to Twitter, I have been following his journeys across the world for quite a while, and have gained a very deep appreciation of his work especially through Virgin Unite, the charity arm of his now iconic company. I share his passion for lifting up people from poverty through education and self-empowerment. And I was deeply impressed to learn that Virgin Unite’s overheads are covered by Richard Branson and the Virgin Group, meaning that all of additional donations received go direct to frontline activities. Virgin Unite is definitely a hub for creative approaches to tackling global challenges affecting our livelihoods!
So from a virtual follower on social media, I will hopefully have the opportunity to meet this British visionary and tap into his thinking during the visit to Bucharest. Will be walking on virgin territory… 🙂
