“Spoke to the VP at XYZ. He said no — the Chairman already has a charity they support, so they won’t be participating.”
Boy… big companies can be spectacularly stupid.
A friend of mine has been running an entrepreneurial program in schools — real-world selling, real competitions, real stakes — where the student earnings go to charity.
But it isn’t about the donation!
It’s about teaching kids what almost no school teaches them:
- How to pitch an idea
- How to handle rejection
- How to sell without crumbling
- How to try, fail, adjust, and try again
No soft landings.
No curated “learning environments.”
No Instagram-ready success arcs.
Just experience — the kind that actually makes you capable.
But XYZ won’t participate because “we already support a charity.”
Translation:
“We check a box. We’re done. Don’t disturb us with nuance, growth, or anything requiring oxygen and using our brain.”
(I’ll make an offer:
If anyone can convincingly argue that this was a reasonable objection — I will gladly give you one free hour of my time.)
So here’s the point:
This exact mindset — HIA: Head. In The..A** — is the same mindset that kills businesses, cultures, and futures.
The other mindset — the one that sees opportunity instead of inconvenience — is the one I work with.
