I'm very happy that you've enjoyed your experience at One Spark where it sounds like you were able to do a lot of networking!
Good to hear that you have a great grant writer which is half the battle toward winning grants.
I am hoping the One Spark team brings some focus to supporting the creators longer term. I believe there are so many great ideas but for many the task is overwhelming. Many people have great ideas but are stumped on getting focused on next steps. Would be fun to have meet ups that help the creators to get focused and tactical. When I was business coaching many years ago, I learned keeping a dream alive while working full time is hard, almost impossible with out support. Would love to partner with others to make this happen.
Great article on one of Jacksonville's finest leaders! You inspire Florence!
Great update from a One Spark Creator perspective. Thank you sharing, Florence. Your hard work, thought leadership and dedication to Character Counts core values shines through in all you do - Jacksonville is lucky to have you.
Super article! Character Counts in Jacksonville, Conscious Eats, Conscious Market; your kind and generous, helping spirit continues to be an inspiration daily to many in the Jacksonville, Florida area, Florence. Thank you! And also thankful for One Spark, and their creative support and encouragement for many starting entrepreneurs. Both you and One Spark are such positive reflections of the goodness in Jacksonville.
And, speaking of Grants, I saw on the One Spark Facebook page that they have partnered with the Foundation Center (FoundationCenter.org) to hold a "Proposal Writing Bootcamp", here in Jacksonville, downtown in the Jacksonville Public Library (Main Library) on Wednesday, June 18. The One Spark Facebook page has a link for more details and a discount.
