Leadership Positions

In addition to positions listed below we are now also recruiting City Coordinators and National Coordinators for

THE IMPACTFUL BUSINESS NETWORK

For 2022, the basic leadership positions for SotG we are looking to fill fall into 3 categories(A recap of all our roles and their responsibilities is available at the bottom of this page:
Global Council – Extended advisory board for SotG Global, but with each member leading development of a specific global initiative.

Regional Councils – Crafting a Regional Strategic Plan based on prioritizing 3-5 of those global initiatives & recruiting National Council members

National Councils – Crafting a National Strategic Plan based again on selecting 3-5 specific initiative from the SotG Global menu, AND starting to implement those programs either through a partnership with an existing NGO and/or coaching company and/or networking organization OR establishment of a new SotG chapter in that country. Below are more details.
Individuals are welcome to participate at multiple levels if they have time commitment for both/all three.

2) National Councils (National Coordinator Positions)

Time Commitment – 2-4 hours per week approximately

Role –

Each National Council is responsible for designing and implementing a Strategic Plan customized for their country based on the following criteria:

What are the biggest societal topics or issues in your country in which Personal Accountability(or any of our other core principles)is being neglected?
How is SotG uniquely positioned to influence that topic, either due to our philosophies, our methodology, or our netwoconrk/ability to build networks?
What are the qualifications for our existing team or network in that country to be taken seriously on that societal topic?

In general National Strategic Plans will consist of the following elements:

Participation in initiatives/events from the World Spirit of the Game Foundation which are applicable to that country
Implementation of specific programs from SotG Global’s menu of options. Each program can typically be customized to fit the exact requirements of each county and the capacity of the SotG team in that country
Specific regional initiatives as decided upon by the Regional Council

The primary members of each National Council will be National Coordinators, each of whom will typically have a specific focus on one of the following:

A) NGO work & networking with/supporting other NGOs – SotGFoundation@gmail.com

B) SotG as a Social Movement – SotGFoundation@gmail.com

C) Impact Consulting/Coaching Coalition – Trent.Simmons@SpiritoftheGame.org

D) SotG’s Impact Network – Trent.Simmons@SpiritoftheGame.org

E) Women’s Empowerment – Lucrecia.Almaraz@yahoo.com

Please send an email to the appropriate address if you are interested in getting involved in that area of our work

3) Regional Councils

Time Commitment – 2-4 hours per week approximately

Role –

Help recruit National Coordinators for all/most of the countries in that region
Liaison between SotG Global and those National Coordinators (In the beginning most of the Regional Council members will be National Coordinators, but over time we’ll need separate people in these roles because of point 4
Promote global online events and global initiatives
Create a Strategic Plan for their region – Basically, not everything SotG Global will be working on will be applicable to every region, and each region of the world will have specific challenges and opportunities that it doesn’t make sense for the Global Council to focus on. So to some degree this will be picking and choosing from the global menu, but also coming up with new ideas and telling SotG Global how we can support you.

(National Coordinators will essentially do this same thing on a national level)

BUSINESS PARTNERS

We have a wide array of individuals and teams around the world who want to support SotG by building a business under our brand umbrella. In addition to helping grow our brand, these businesses are also expected to help financially support the foundation in the future, so with discretion, we help support their growth. A few examples are a credit union in Trinidad&Tobago, an Impact Investing consultancy in Switzerland, and a sports company in Turkey.

Our organization has 4 main Pillars and the Strategic Plan listed below explains our current plans for the US. Once we have sufficient leadership in Canada and Mexico, we’ll do the same process there.

1) Developing SotG as the world’s first “crowd-sourced” life philosophy which both provides individuals with an internal framework for choosing a different definition of winning and as a Social Movement which provides the external framework that helps like minded individuals and organizations around the world maximize their positive impact on society.

2) An Impact Coaching division to help raise funds for the non-profit work, and which now has a wide range of offerings for universities, as well as for corporations, SMEs, and start-ups.

3) Typical NGO work which includes applying for grants on Youth Leadership, Women’s Empowerment, and Entrepreneurial support, among others, as well as organizing national/global initiatives and supporting other NGOs

4) A national/global Impact Network of “disruptors of dysfunctional systems” that consists of individuals and organizations from the worlds of non-profit, social enterprise, for profit, academia and government.

Here is a full video overview of these 4 pillars as well as a deeper explanation of the long term goals of the organization/movement.

In the meantime we have created the Ambassador role for people who want to support SotG but either don’t have the time yet for an official position or simply aren’t familiar enough yet with our whole ecosystem to know where they fit in.
