“A profoundly life changing event. Hollyhock SVI raises your expectations of what success can be and connects you to those who can make your goals reality.” – Patrice Mousseau, Satya Organic Skin Care

Anyone who has ever done something meaningful in life will tell you the hardest part is building your inner skills to meet the demands of your vision. SVI Hollyhock helps you grow as an individual so you can advance your enterprise.

You’re invited to attend a joy-filled, five-day gathering of CEOs, entrepreneurs, changemakers and investors who are using business as a force for good. Join 100+ people who, like you, care about humanity and the planet, and see the urgent need for significant social change.

This is a unique peer learning environment. The magic is in the people you’ll encounter. This is a highly inclusive cross-generational, cross-cultural, cross-sectorial gathering, designed to offer unexpectedly potent learning and inspire lifelong connections.

SVI Hollyhock is thoughtfully-crafted to offer deep human connection, experiential learning and personal growth. It’s also undeniably fun. It’s a place to feel connected — with yourself, others, and wild, pristine nature. It’s a place to get practical business support and deep-soul nourishment. It’s a place to replenish and remember why you do what you do, or to discover a new career aspiration.

No one individually has all the answers in business or life. This is why we come together.

“SVI created the space for us, as directors of a large project, to attend to our values through our work, both at a high-vision level, and also through pragmatic issues, like developing a cash flow that could support these intentions. At SVI you will definitely develop the relationships you need to do the work you want to do. The people are in the room.” – Duane Elverum, City Studio

Intentionally Designed to Foster Growth

The format of SVI is highly interactive and experiential. Participants present their business problems to a panel of experienced business leaders and fellow participants. In return, they receive advice, tools, and resources to strengthen and grow their enterprise in a socially conscious way. Based on evaluations and testimonials, participants uniformly reflect that SVI is one of the best investments they’ve made in growing their social purpose enterprises.

Supportive and Experienced Network

The combination of high quality mentors, a confidential and supportive environment, and a practical problem-solving format enables participants to acquire a rich portfolio of skills, a plan to grow their social purpose organization, and a network of contacts to support their enterprise. SVI participants are first or second-stage entrepreneurs who face challenges in growing an enterprise while maintaining a social mission.

Unique Format for Out of the Box Results

Take advantage of this opportunity to fine tune business strategies, learn best practices for solving problems, and build long lasting relationships with business peers and mentors. Get direct feedback for your current business challenges from a faculty of successful socially responsible enterprise leaders. Hear inspiring True Confessions – personal stories from experienced entrepreneurs and their struggles to reach success combining social mission with business.

At SVI:

Share innovative ideas to help improve the way you manage, promote, and finance your businesses and projects
Build a stronger sense of community, cooperation, mission, and effectiveness
Experience the deep rejuvenation integral to the learning journey

This program is for CEOs, Executive Directors, Founders, key staff, social entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders of all kinds.

SVI for me was full of surprises. While I anticipated the learning and programming, what I found remarkable was being surrounding by so many truly authentic individuals. – Stephanie Vellins, Harris & Company
