Three things are happening at once: I am reading Seth Godin’s Tribes, I have a FBMA Board Meeting tomorrow, and today is the day we recognize MLK. And on this day, we think about service.
Thus, my regular theme about “Giving Back” is again top of mind. But reading Seth Godin’s newest book is making me realize that anyone can move mountains if they just provide the leadership AND utilize the tools that give them the leverage to mobilize people and a cause.
You should know two things about me: One, that I serve as a Board Member of the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, and two, that I believe strongly that giving back to your community is good marketing.
Inspired by a Seth Godin blog post from the other day, I spent some time on this day of service, and gave back. He suggests doing any number of small tasks that help serve our fellow man. What did I do? Simple. I created a new Twitter account for the Furniture Bank. Something selfless, leveraged, and useful.
Want to help? You can give back by following the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta on Twitter at @fbma! Help us slowly move some mountains – and make life better for your fellow mankind.
