What They Will NEVER Teach You in School About VOLUNTEERING
How to volunteer the entrepreneurial way

By Larry Chiang
I am speaking at Cal Do Something
LINK: ‘cal do something’ to http://www.caldosomething.org
on Nov 2 at Cal Berkeley
True to my theme, I am focusing on “Scandalous Stuff They Don’t Teach You in School About VOLUNTEERING”. Think of this stuff as a result of reading my mentor’s book “What They Will NEVER Teach You at Harvard Business School” by Mark McCormack
I plan to divulge previously unpublished secrets:
– How volunteering helps you get the #1 highest paid job offer
– How to self start and pitch an idea
– Copy paste an event you like and execute with attribution to the party you copy pasted
– How to volunteer and build your Rolodex
– Two, million dollar organizations I accidentally started because I volunteered (aa4a.org and UCMS)
– Granular: How a play event (#reverseVC Pitch Party) became a franchise): Theme, momentum, cause, pitch, viral, WOM (word of mouth), sequel events, add-on events, re-focus theme. Add creativity. Add energy. Get karma. Re-invest karma or take some off the table.
– Play managing leads to real managing
– Speaking in public to help promote a cause and getting over your shyness because if you don’t speak, 20 poor kids won’t eat
– Play promoting leads to real promotional skill
– How to create a real PHILANTHROPIC event before you leave tonight for no money, 3 facebook update messages, and less than 2 phone calls in under 2 hrs by Christmas
Thx, Jimmy Aung Chen… I will try to not suck.
