Giving Compounded
I can hear him and picture him, as if he were in the room with me, “You’ve gotta give, give, give before you get, get, get!” I can’t help but smile when I think of Gary Rifkin. My whole person lights up. Gary embodies these words, borrowed from Joe Charbonneau. They are words he lives […]
What’s Your Purpose?
Hugo Cabret: Everything has a purpose, clocks tell you the time, trains takes you to places. I’d imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured if the entire world was one big machine… I […]
Super Objective Spotlight (Featuring Linda K. Brown)

When he was really little, he would just […]
Super Objective Spotlight (Featuring Brenda Harkins)
When Onstage Leadership was recommended to me, I chose to sign up because of the respect I have for the friend who suggested it.
