“Impact does not require grandiosity. The work isn't about the size of the check; to me, it is about the willingness to show up, listen, and take the specific action that is needed.”
― Changing Course Gracefully: A Strategic Guide to Building Foundational Self-Trust
― Changing Course Gracefully: A Strategic Guide to Building Foundational Self-Trust
“That day, I learned that I could be a giver by simply bringing a smile to another person. The ensuing years have taught me that a kind word, a vote of support is a charitable gift. I can move over and make another place for someone. I can turn my music up if it pleases, or down if it is annoying. I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly am a lover of mankind, and I will give freely of my resources.”
