Change the World in 15 Minutes
Monday, June 14, 2010 at 10:06AM Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the People Report Workforce Symposium. It was well-organized by Joni Thomas Doolin and her dedicated People Report team. There were many other attendees and speakers who influenced me with their motivational stories.

I'm grateful that my paths crossed with Nate St. Pierre. Nate created a global community called, It Starts With Us. His goal was to simply, "Change the World". Each week, Nate provides a 15 minute assignment focused on helping others in a fun way. Since its conception, Nate demonstrates his servant leadership skills and humble personality that continues to attract others to this worldwide movement.
The It Starts With Us team grows and gives encouragement to those who need hope. Nate also created a Love Bomb team that supports others online too. Opportunities to help strangers truly put your own blessings into perspective.
The impact of the It Starts With Us revolution is hard to ignore. Nate complied an e-book to share some of these stories from the weekly missions last year. They are heartwarming and demonstrate the power that we have to change the world in just 15 minutes a week. Follow Nate on Twitter at @ItStartsWithUs and view the other world changing tweets at #ISWU.

Hey Jenny, it was so cool to meet you at the conference last week. I had a great time there - SO many talented and caring people. Thanks for the chat and for taking the time to come to my session. And thank you for pitching in on the mission . . . we really ARE making a difference. :)
You rock,

Jenny!
It was great meeting you at #PRSCamp and sitting in on your session. Thanks so much for posting this about Nate and his mission. I didn't get a chance to sit in on his session, but have since joined the ISWU Community and particpated in my first Love Bomb. Thanks for posting the ebook...I had not discovered that yet. I have shared it with my other partners that attended.
Respectfully,
Tracy
