I had a wonderful experience recently at a Shelter Our Sisters (SOS) event called Empower Our Sisters held at a nearby high school. Shelter Our Sisters provides counseling, training and other services, and a safe haven, for female victims of domestic violence and their families.
As part of a Career Center workshop, I spoke about self-confidence and business communications with about 70 participants throughout the day, many of whom spoke only Spanish! Through interpreters, we exchanged thoughts and viewpoints.
I couldn't believe the tremendous amount of volunteers who just showed up, willing to do anything to help out. The student theatre group even appeared at the end, piano in tow, to sing a few numbers from a show they were performing that afternoon! The moms, and especially their 98 children, really appreciated it.
What can you "show up" for?
