Stories you tell yourself when the White House calls with Ashwani Jain

From convict to star citizen, a courageous conversation with Helenia Bragg.

From convict to star citizen, a courageous conversation with Helenia Bragg.

This story deserved a rewind. We all have times or seasons when it requires courage to make it from one moment to the next; to take the next step or to say the next word.

Rotary Opens Opportunities Through Service: Leadership in Action with District 7610 Governor Harry Henderson Jr.

In 1930, Rotary Founder Paul Harris said, “The world is a changing place, and Rotary MUST change with it.” And it has. Maya Angelou said, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you cannot change it, change your attitude.” And we have. Frances Hesselbein said, “Culture does not change because we desire to change it. Culture changes when the organization is transformed – the Culture reflects the realities of people working together every day.” And it has. Change is an external alteration. Transformation is an internal process. Both are necessary to sustain Rotary’s mission, Service Above Self. To deal…

I echo the words of author and coach Iyanla Vanzant in her 2000 book, Until Today for her view of service. And I quote: “The greatest service I can offer is standing confidently in my power.

You have the ability to speak for yourself. You can defend yourself! Promote yourself. Encourage yourself. Teach yourself! Correct yourself. That is power. You have a heart. Through it, you can experience…
