You may have noticed that I have alluded to being selected for a national Leadership Team for the We Are Power Shift online community in a couple of my previous posts. Well, this week marks the official launch of the team, and the point at which I can start sharing information about what I’m up […]

An Alliance of Awesome (or: Peeps – they’re not just for Easter)
I spent the past two weekends surrounded by world-changers. Two weekends ago, it was four 12-hour days in Washington DC with the WeArePowerShift.org leadership team.
