$10,000 Big Give
(OK, so Oprah didn't inspire this one, but it is a good name for what we are doing.)
Dear Friends,
The last time massive budget cuts swept across the US, I was Director of a large youth program. It was not fun. This time I'm in a position to help and I'd like to do so in a big way. $6000 in services have already been donated to support you during this time and the goal is $10,000!
Here's what we've done already:
- More than $2500 in scholarships to two dozen people who attended SIF seminars in Portland Maine.
- Nearly $1000 in scholarships awarded for the online course Mastering Strengths.
- $2000 in reduced fees for upcoming speaking engagements.
- $500 in discounts on books, CDs and Workbooks.
Would you like to benefit? The Hosted Training below is one of the best ways. If you have your own ideas,
contact me.
- Hosted Trainings: It is possible to bring me to your community at virtually no cost. To help the Hosting Program be successful for you, I will offer tuition scholarships and other incentives to increase attendance and your ability to earn free registrations and additional SIF services. This can amount to thousands of dollars in services just for you and I am most proud and pleased to be able to extend this opportunity.
By the nature of the beast, this $10,000 in services will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis, so I encourage you to move quickly.
Thank you folks! It is my sincere desire to be of service to you. This seemed like a good way to start. Pass it on.
Be well,
an aside: Pass it on…
Do you tend to be skeptical about being on the receiving end of giving from a stranger. Me too! I am always looking for the "catch." But there's no catch here. I spent many years frustrated by the limitations (or nonexistence!) of training and education budgets. When I created SIF, I was determined to do something about it - and now I can.
So I invite and encourage your participation.
First, join me for some exciting learning here in Portland, online or in your community. Together, we can change the way people see - and make the world a hopeful, joyful, powerful place filled with people living, working and loving from their strengths.
Then… pass it on. Find a way to make it easier for others to learn from you. Be a strengths advocate in your kid's school. See the strengths in those bored-looking clerks in the grocery and watch then lift their head and begin to look folks in the eyes. Support each other's strengths and create a workplace where everyone uses their strengths every day. However you do it, be a part of this big give and…
...pass it on.
