About Us

Ryan Turner, Founder, Business English for Social Impact

Purpose + Mission

Social impact organizations play a vital role in the social, cultural, and economic success of communities, nations, and regions. Expanding resource opportunities is essential for a dynamic social impact sector to thrive. External challenges and internal constraints burden good organizations. Effective communications support can help social impact organizations to achieve their goals, extend their reach, improve their stakeholder engagement and amplify their effectiveness.

Philosopy + Approach

As a social impact consultant, my primary goal is to empower client organizations towards stability and growth. This requires respect for each organization’s mission, values, stakeholders, and unique needs. It also relies on mutual trust and honesty at all stages of activity. A successful client-consultant relationship turns on open communication and realistic expectations.

Bio

I offer 30+ years of experience with social impact organizations as an advisor, leader, manager, advocate, donor, and volunteer. My focus since 2015 has been on civil society, philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibility in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, and Western Balkans. I am a proud native of Richmond, Virginia; a graduate of Princeton University; and a current resident of Prague, Czech Republic.
