MotherLetter.com is on a Mission

Seth is a successful attorney in one of the leading law firms in the South. Needless to say, he is busy, and his work is important. Seth had a friend who traded a comfortable life and career in the United States for a benevolent cause in Southeast Africa, helping teach impoverished and disease-stricken communities how to farm and, thus, restoring health to these communities. For years, Seth promised to visit his friend and experience the cause. For years, he put it off because of his busy work schedule. But not last year. He finally made time to spend eight days in Southeast Africa with his friend.

And he was changed forever.

Upon his return, Seth and I had dinner with our wives to hear about the adventures in Africa. During dinner, it was easy to see that Seth was not the same. This professional attorney whose job it is to play it cool couldn’t get through the appetizer without breaking down as he told story after story of his experience with the Africans. He gained new perspectives and insights. His views on life were richer and more profound.

Today, through his experience, Seth is a man on a mission. Seth, as a gift to his wife – Amber, began a movement called MotherLetter, an online community for people to share amazing and personal stories of their moms and their mommy experiences. This movement is taking off and connecting moms and their stories all over the world.

Now Seth and Amber are allowing the MotherLetter movement to fight malaria through Compassion International’s malaria intervention fund. I encourage you to get involved in the MotherLetter movement and to help fight malaria by going to www.motherletter.com. Onward!

Promote Your Champion with Champ’Em

The Organizational Champion is not about a book, but rather, it’s about creating a movement—a movement that inspires people to move beyond traditional leadership principles toward being a champion for our businesses, for our communities and for people. These complex times call for extraordinary people, for champions—enlightened change makers who are personally committed to mutual values and igniters of new possibilities.

We need to celebrate these champions.

That’s why Champ’Em was created—to build a community for people to present and discuss their champions, and to honor their impact, however big or small. I encourage you to visit Champem.com and engage in the discussion.

Sign up and share your champion by clicking on the ChampEm at the top of this post. I look forward to celebrating and discussing their impact with you.
