I want to give back more but...
Fill in the blank! I believe we all want to make a difference, but it’s tricky for most of us to figure out where to spend our precious time and resources.
But Leah, I’m not wealthy enough!
I don’t have unlimited time to give - I’ve got bills to pay, dude.
(And here’s the thing no one really wants to say: I’m not sure I’m selfless enough to make an impact, it requires too much sacrifice.)
Oy. Vey.
Well, my friend - you're not alone.
And you’re not a bad person for not making huge grand gestures. I believe you're here to do your little bit or good, and that it will make a difference.
Join our next workshop
You’ve just got to figure out your GIVING CURRENCY…and then we’ll make that generosity rain.
Enough with the ridiculous idea that giving big is only for monks and multi-millionnaires!!
This free workshop is for you if you're ready to ...
- feel more fulfilled
- rewrite your current stories about why you can't give more
- take an honest look at where you are, exactly as you are
- give back bigger
- cause no harm along the way
- take the work we are called to do seriously, but never take ourselves too seriously (wink wink)
Don’t wait to ‘give back.’ Start now. Just as you are. Let's identify your unique giving currency and spend it like billionaires.
Your GIVING Currency
Best you can. With what you've got. Right now.
The interactive portion of our workshop will not be recorded and is only accessible to those who join live.
JOIN USEvery journey has its twists and turns. That's how I found myself in Tanzania, East Africa.
...volunteering, learning and asking a lot of questions. Like, "why are there such huge differences between public and private schools here?" Private elementary schools teach in both Swahili and English, but public schools only teach in Swahili. So "why is Secondary school only taught in English??" (And wow - you can only attend if you pass a huge exam in 7th grade, otherwise your education is over.) So unfair!
My new local teacher friends, and an entire community of parents (whose kids didn't even have safe access to a school) felt the same way.
BOOM. Purpose ignited.
That led to collaboration with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, teachers, parents and donors.
Together, we built and opened a new 'charter' public elementary school - Kisimani School. Local teachers teach in English, prepare local kids to continue their education, and is thriving beyond all expectations!
Kisimani School ranked #1 in academic performance in the region in 2018, with a 100% graduation rate 5 years in a row and counting.
Talk about growth, right?
I get asked all the time: How did you do it?
I trusted that the community I was collaborating with knew what it needed best. I trusted my intuition to show me the next right step.
Did I have a million dollars? No.
Did I have unlimited time? No.
Did I want to give? Yes.
So, I considered my motivation and core values, pointed myself towards true north, and made the leap!
Did we know 13 years ago that we would make such an impact on 1,500+ lives halfway across the world? No!
When I went to Tanzania, I went with an open heart, an open mind, and no agenda. The rest took care of itself.
When the Why is big enough, the How will present itself.
