MONCTON — After years of working with new companies, a member of Venn Innovation‘s team is jumping into entrepreneurship himself with his new venture.

Jonathan Dunnett, Venn’s program manager of markets and insights, is the founder of Enable Leaders, a company that’s curating content to help people from all walks of life improve their leadership, decision making, and personal skills.

The idea for the company came from something Dunnett was doing on a daily basis: Finding useful content online and sharing it with people in his network he’d think would benefit.

“This is very much an extension of work that I’ve always been doing, but I wanted to bring it together in a place where people can benefit and have an impact,” says Dunnett. “And share it more broadly with people so that it becomes more scaleable to help those people.”

Right now, the website is basically curation of quality content on leadership and personal development topics. For example, on Tuesday afternoon Enable Leaders featured articles on topics such as “7 questions that rewire your brain from success” and “Why the first five minutes of a meeting shape its outcome.” Dunnett says this is only the first part of “version one” of Enable Leaders.

“There’s still a component in development. But the general spirit behind the platform as a whole is we want to help really organize and bring together and connect dots for people in terms of the realm of leadership including decision making, leadership, and psychology,” he says. “Oftentimes, these tend to be very disparate fields and there’s a lot that we can learn from across from these domains and disciplines.”

Enable Leaders is still working through validation. Discussions with users and prospective users will help shape where the platform ultimately goes. But Dunnett says it will likely be in the direction of higher curation.

“The idea is for individuals and organizations, how can we bring things together in one place that is highly curated, well synthesized, summarized and organized by topic and topic area,” he says. “That’s the spirit of what version one is heading towards. There may be some changes along the way, but it seems that the general discussions that we’ve been having have been very positive toward that.”

This would involve using technology to match users with quality content on the topic they’re looking for.

“If you’re struggling with a particular topic or you’re looking for new voices on something on something very specific, we can use technology to assess then recommend what those resources could be in a very timely fashion,” says Dunnett.

Right now people can access Enable Leaders on LinkedIn or on its website. They will also be launching an email list shortly. The audience of Enable Leaders isn’t just for C-Suite executives, but anyone looking for meaningful resources.
