What We’re Watching
This month we’re switching it up a bit. Instead of highlighting a book like we usually do, we’re excited to share a TEDTalk that has been on our minds.
In the TEDTalk, Miriam Barnett speaks about her life’s career in nonprofit organizations. She is a warrior for social justice and looks at life through an abundance lens. Her mission is to make a difference in the lives of others one person and one day at a time. She strongly encourages you to research who your audience is before you give.
Watch it here: Intent Versus Impact: When Making a Difference Doesn’t
