Your 9-to-5 Isn't Holding You Back—Here's Why

Описание: "Why do this work? Because it’s incumbent upon us to collaborate and build the next generation."

Welcome back to the So Tru Network with Dawn Johnson Empowers. In this episode of In-Tru Conversations, we sit down with Pat Gillum Sams, an intentional community leader, to pull back the curtain on the "Real Deal" of community service.

We dive deep into the sacrifice behind leadership, the intersection of diversity and collaboration, and the essential strategy for young professionals trying to balance a corporate career with their heart’s passion.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
The Sacrifice of Service: Why community leaders suffer health and financial issues and how to persevere.
The "Big D" of Diversity: Why a male perspective and global collaboration are vital for community growth.
Funding the Heart Work: How to navigate the "Parallel Path" of working in Corporate America while building a non-profit.
The Power of Volunteering: How showing up in excellence leads to paid opportunities and high-level networking.
Vulnerability in Leadership: Why we must show our children and the next generation the struggle and the reward.
