“ Raising someone up does not reduce your stature—in fact, it exalts you in ways you have to experience to believe. Greater Than Yourself shows how you can begin improving the world by giving of yourself. It’s a wonderful message wrapped in a highly entertaining, well written story.”
- Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level
When I was in DC recently, I stopped by ABC NewsChannel 8 and had an interesting chat with the co-hosts of Let’s Talk Live, Natasha Barrett and Doug Mckelway. We talked about the challenges and opportunities of Greater Than Yourself in the workplace.

You can sign up to become a mentor, or you can support their great programs in other ways.
And let me be the first to proclaim this time as International Mentoring Century. I know it sounds a little clunky, but the idea has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
