REDEFINING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship is more than an academic discipline and reaches far
beyond the concept of traditional business creation and small business
management. Entrepreneurship is a mindset; a framework for thinking
and acting that can empower anyone to succeed. It is a mindset that
can empower ordinary people to accomplish the extraordinary.
GARY SCHOENIGER, FOUNDER OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL LEARNING INITIATIVE
(ELI) & CO-AUTHOR OF _WHO OWNS THE ICE HOUSE? EIGHT LIFE LESSONS FROM
AN UNLIKELY ENTREPRENEUR_
Author and ELI Founder Gary Schoeniger has emerged as an
internationally recognized thought leader in the field of
entrepreneurial mindset education. Schoeniger’s message has
influenced a broad audience from higher education and economic
development organizations to government, corporate and non-profit
clients worldwide.
With his focus on the entrepreneurial mindset, Schoeniger has
presented numerous keynotes, workshops, and training programs
throughout the U.S. and abroad. Recent engagements include the Global
Entrepreneurship Congress in Rio de Janeiro and Moscow, as well as
speaking and training programs in Athens, London, Bogota, Buenos
Aires, Mexico City, Sofia, Santiago, Aberdeen, Nicosia, Zagreb,
Tbilisi, and Baku.
Schoeniger, along with Pulitzer nominee Clifton Taulbert, is the
co-author of _Who Owns The Ice House? Eight Life Lessons From An
Unlikely Entrepreneur, _an international bestseller described as
“required reading for humanity.” Inspired by the life story of
Taulbert, _Who Owns the Ice House? _is a powerful and compelling story
that captures the essence of an entrepreneurial mindset and the
unlimited opportunities it can provide. Drawing on the wisdom he
gained from his Uncle Cleve, the book chronicles Taulbert’s journey
from his life in the Mississippi Delta at the height of legal
segregation to being recognized by Time Magazine as “one of our
nation’s most outstanding emerging entrepreneurs.” While Taulbert
describes the life-changing influence of his Uncle Cleve, co-author
Gary Schoeniger captures the entrepreneurial life lessons that can
empower anyone to succeed.
Using the entrepreneurial life lessons, Schoeniger led the development
of the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program, which has been recognized
by the Kauffman Foundation as “redefining entrepreneurship education
in classrooms and communities around the world.” The Ice House
Entrepreneurship Program is an experiential, problem-based learning
program designed to inspire and engage participants in the fundamental
aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset. The Ice House Program has been
featured at the United Nations General Assembly as well as National
Public Radio, Inc. Magazine, CNN Money and the Huffington Post.
Clients include the Kauffman Foundation, the Cisco Entrepreneur
Institute, the National Association of Community College
Entrepreneurship (NACCE), Global Entrepreneurship Congress,
Tecnológico de Monterrey, Banco Popular, Southern Bancorp, the
Eurasia Foundation, the government of Buenos Aires, SEBRAE, the
Colombian Ministry of Education, and the U.S. State Department. Ice
House has been adopted by high schools and colleges as well as
non-profit organizations, economic development organizations, and
small business development centers around the United States.
