Introduction
Summary of the Book Purposeful by Jennifer Dulski Before we proceed, let’s look into a brief overview of the book. Imagine a world where anyone, including you, can spark a movement that transforms society. Picture starting with a simple idea, a personal concern, or a dream for something better, and then watching it catch fire and spread. This is not just the work of famous figures; it’s something anyone can do. You can shape people’s thinking, open their hearts, and motivate them to act. With a strong purpose guiding you, a clear vision lighting your path, and respectful cooperation helping you gain allies, your voice can gain strength. By telling stories that touch emotions, building safe communities where people learn and grow, and handling failures as valuable lessons, you can turn obstacles into stepping stones. This introduction invites you to discover how one dedicated individual can influence many, shaping our shared tomorrow.
Chapter 1: Understanding the Power of Purpose to Ignite a Movement That Inspires Millions.
Imagine you have an idea that feels bigger than yourself, a spark that sets your heart on fire. This idea isn’t just something you think about once in a while; it’s something that truly drives you. This sense of purpose, like a hidden fuel within you, can help you launch a movement that changes people’s lives. A movement is not just a casual group of people; it’s a team united by a common goal that matters deeply. When individuals feel connected by a shared purpose, they become excited, determined, and ready to overcome all sorts of challenges. This is how social changes are born. They start small, often with just one person daring to dream and act. Over time, their purposeful idea grows stronger and brighter, eventually inspiring others to join and push forward.
Purpose can make ordinary people do extraordinary things. Consider someone like Manal Rostam, an Egyptian Muslim athlete who wanted to change how the world saw women who wear the hijab. She knew there were harmful stereotypes that made hijabi women feel unwelcome or unable to follow their passions, especially in sports. Instead of staying quiet, Rostam created a Facebook community called Surviving Hijab so women could share stories and encourage each other. This wasn’t just a random social media group; it was a movement grounded in purpose – the purpose of showing the world that faith and athleticism can exist together, and that cultural clothing doesn’t limit one’s abilities. Rostam’s group quickly grew, proving that when people believe in the same meaningful goal, their collective energy becomes a strong force for change.
Rostam’s movement didn’t stop with online support. Her actions caught the eye of major organizations. In 2015, after she reached out to Nike’s Middle East division, Nike decided to feature a hijabi woman in its advertising for the first time. Later, Nike expanded its reach by creating an entire line of sports hijabs, sending a message worldwide that performance and faith can absolutely go hand in hand. Rostam’s efforts show how purpose can turn a single story into a larger wave of transformation. A once small group of women found a voice that influenced a huge sports brand. This chain reaction began with a purposeful idea and a determined individual who refused to accept harmful stereotypes, proving purpose can guide you toward incredible opportunities.
Purpose leads people to unite, share experiences, and set their sights on positive change. It turns isolated dreams into collective action. Whether you’re aiming to adjust how a global brand views its customers, or striving to change laws that affect entire communities, having a meaningful why is essential. It provides clarity, helping you understand what matters most and why you must act. When you communicate this purpose clearly, others who feel the same pull toward justice, fairness, or improvement will flock to your cause. With a purposeful core, your movement stands on solid ground. As it grows, you’ll witness something extraordinary: strangers from different backgrounds working shoulder-to-shoulder, energized by a common dream. This is the true strength of purposeful movements – they begin with one heart and end up touching millions.
Chapter 2: Realizing Anyone Can Spark Change by Taking That First Brave Step Forward.
It’s easy to think that world-changing movements can only start with famous leaders, award-winning activists, or historical heroes. Yet the truth is that anyone, including you, can be the spark that sets a movement into motion. Great changes often start small, sometimes with nothing more than a single, simple action that opens people’s eyes. Take Erdem Gündüz in 2013 Istanbul. Standing silently in Taksim Square to protest injustices was a quiet, peaceful gesture. Before long, others joined him. Soon, people worldwide were inspired to stand still in solidarity, showing that small steps can lead to huge waves. This example proves that your voice matters. You don’t need to be a superstar or a household name; you just need to care and dare to make your first move.
When we think of movements, we might picture Martin Luther King Jr. leading civil rights marches or Nelson Mandela fighting for equality. But remember, these icons started as regular people with a dream. Small acts, like refusing to give up a bus seat or signing a simple petition, can pave the way for groundbreaking reforms. In 1955, Rosa Parks quietly resisted injustice by keeping her seat. Her courage, though it may have seemed small to her at the time, lit a fire that helped transform American society. You, too, carry potential within you. Whether it’s addressing bullying in your school or improving safety in your neighborhood, you can be that person who takes the first crucial step that others later follow.
Self-doubt often stops us from stepping forward. We might think we’re too young, too unimportant, or not knowledgeable enough to create real change. But that’s just a mental roadblock. Change doesn’t belong to any special club; it’s for anyone who cares enough to make a difference. Sarah Kavanaugh, a regular teenager, felt concerned about the questionable ingredient brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in Gatorade. She didn’t ignore her worries; instead, she started a petition on Change.org. Her action attracted attention, and soon thousands supported her cause. Eventually, BVO was removed from the drink. If a regular teen could influence a giant company to make a healthier product, imagine what you could do if you overcame your doubts. Often, the greatest movements begin when ordinary people choose courage over hesitation.
The lesson here is simple: starting a movement doesn’t require having all the answers upfront or being a perfect leader. It doesn’t require fame, money, or power from the start. What matters most is believing in your idea and taking that first meaningful action. Sure, you might be uncertain about where to start or how to gather support. That’s natural. The important thing is to begin, even in a small way. Once you do, you’ll find that people who share your concerns will rally around you, and together, you’ll have the strength to influence policies, challenge harmful perceptions, or introduce valuable new options to the world. The hardest part is often the beginning, but with every step forward, doubt fades, and your dream begins to shine brighter.
Chapter 3: Defining a Crystal-Clear Vision and Using Engaging Stories to Win Hearts and Minds.
Having a purpose tells you why you care, but having a vision shows you what your future success looks like. Think of purpose as the reason you set out on a journey, while vision is the destination you want to reach. A well-defined vision gives you direction, guiding every decision you make. When Neil Grimmer created Plum Organics, his purpose was giving parents healthier baby food options. His vision was a world where grocery store shelves were filled with affordable, organic baby food choices. This vision acted like a compass, keeping his team focused on their goal. Without a clear vision, movements can drift and lose their way. With one, everyone knows exactly what they’re fighting for and can measure progress along the path to change.
Once you have a clear vision, you need an effective way to share it with others. This is where storytelling comes in. Stories go beyond lists of facts or boring speeches. They help people connect emotionally with your cause. When listeners can imagine themselves in the story or feel the emotions of its characters, they become more invested and ready to lend their support. The story behind Cary’s Law is a powerful example. Cary was tragically killed in a hotel room while her children tried to call for help. Because they needed to dial 9 for an outside line and didn’t know it, they couldn’t reach the police in time. This heartbreaking story moved people to demand a law ensuring that calling emergency services is simple and direct everywhere.
By sharing Cary’s story, her father Hank Hunt did more than just present a problem; he helped people visualize the heartbreaking outcome of a system that didn’t work when it mattered most. When lawmakers, hotel chains, and concerned citizens heard this true-life account, they felt the urgency to act. Soon, Cary’s Law passed, changing the way emergency calls are placed in hotels. This proves that storytelling can transform a problem into a cause people care deeply about. Your movement can benefit from this method, too. If you share personal stories – either from your own life or from those affected by the issue – your audience will better understand the problem and feel more determined to help fix it.
Clear vision and meaningful stories form a powerful duo. Vision sets your target, and stories provide the human connection that pulls people closer. When movement starters combine these elements, they create a roadmap others eagerly follow. Consider your own ideas. Maybe you want cleaner rivers in your community. Show people what life could look like if the water sparkled and fish thrived again. Then tell them stories of families who’ve struggled with polluted water. These heartfelt tales will stay with people, making them want to act. Over time, as your supporters understand what the future could hold and feel the emotions behind the cause, they’ll be inspired to join. Your vision and stories become the powerful fuel that propels your movement forward.
Chapter 4: Approaching Decision Makers with Respect and Mapping Out Multiple Allies to Increase Influence.
To bring about real change, you often need to work with people in power. These might be politicians, business leaders, or heads of important organizations. It’s tempting to think you have to shout loudly or accuse them harshly to get their attention. But in reality, treating decision makers with respect and understanding usually gets you much further. Instead of seeing them as enemies, think of them as human beings who can be persuaded through sensible arguments and genuine stories. Attacking someone on social media with insults rarely results in cooperation. Instead, calmly showing why your cause is worthy and meaningful invites them to listen. Remember, many leaders are public servants who, at their core, want to help. If you approach them thoughtfully, you have a better chance of success.
Sometimes the person you first turn to might say no or show little interest. Don’t give up. The world is full of potential allies, and part of effective strategy is mapping out a variety of contacts. If a certain official or executive isn’t willing to help, look for others with influence in the same field. Consider Jennifer Terrell’s story. She faced discrimination from the Boy Scouts of America because she was gay. Directly convincing the top executives of BSA to change their policy proved challenging. Instead of giving up, she reached out to BSA board members known for supporting LGBTQ rights. She also contacted big corporations that partnered with BSA, such as UPS and Intel, encouraging them to speak out. By branching out, she found multiple supporters who helped tip the scales.
Mapping out multiple allies also protects your movement’s progress. If one path is blocked, you can try another route. It’s like climbing a mountain: if a rockslide covers one trail, you look for a different way up. By identifying various influencers – from local community leaders to well-known celebrities, journalists, or caring CEOs – you ensure that your movement won’t grind to a halt just because one person doesn’t see eye to eye with you. Think of it as building a strong support network. This network can boost your credibility, widen your reach, and help spread your message across different audiences. Each new ally you gain becomes another channel through which your vision and purpose can flow, reaching more hearts and minds.
The key takeaway is that no single gatekeeper holds the only key to success. Sometimes, you’ll need to be patient, persistent, and creative in how you build relationships and win supporters. Approach people politely, present your cause clearly, and never close yourself off to new partnerships. You never know who might become a critical ally. Even those who initially disagree might come around if they see respectful, fact-based arguments and hear authentic stories that explain why change is needed. Movements are built on human connections, and the more positive relationships you establish, the stronger your movement becomes. Over time, a web of supportive contacts will ensure your message can’t be easily ignored, paving the way for the transformations you hope to achieve.
Chapter 5: Keeping Your Supporters Engaged with Shared Purpose, Personal Growth, and Meaningful Bonds.
Gaining supporters is only half the battle. Once they’ve joined your movement, you need to keep them motivated and inspired. People may start enthusiastic, but if they feel bored, unchallenged, or disconnected, their interest fades. To prevent that, remember three important factors: shared purpose, personal growth, and strong connections. First, never let supporters forget why they joined in the first place. Keep reminding them of the bigger dream that unites you all. This shared purpose acts like a lighthouse guiding everyone through the storms of doubt. For example, at Plum Organics, Monday morning meetings brought team members together to reconnect with their mission of providing healthy baby food. Such reminders keep people excited and passionate, ensuring their energy doesn’t slip away.
Next, people crave growth and learning. No one wants to feel stuck or underappreciated. If you give supporters tasks that help them learn new skills, gain confidence, and develop as individuals, they’ll be more likely to stay involved. At Change.org, the staff adopted a 90-10 model for decision making, encouraging employees to handle most decisions themselves. This level of trust and responsibility challenged them, making their work more rewarding. Supporters in your movement may not be employees, but you can still find ways to let them take on roles that sharpen their skills. Whether it’s organizing events, designing posters, or leading discussions, giving people a chance to grow makes them proud and increases their investment in your cause.
Lastly, building strong connections among supporters can’t be overlooked. When people feel safe, trusted, and valued, they’re more willing to share ideas, take risks, and remain loyal. A supportive environment encourages honesty and cooperation. Google’s research showed that teams perform best when members feel psychologically safe. If you’re running an online community, ensure moderators welcome newcomers warmly, remove hateful comments, and promote healthy dialogue. Offline, organize gatherings where supporters can share stories and experiences. Over time, these deep connections form a supportive family around your movement. People will stay because they feel they belong. Friendships formed within a movement are often the glue that holds it all together, turning casual supporters into lifelong advocates who carry your message forward.
By blending shared purpose, personal development, and meaningful relationships, you create a powerful environment where supporters thrive. They don’t merely follow your cause; they actively contribute and help shape it. This sense of involvement transforms your supporters from passive spectators into passionate team players. They become your ambassadors, spreading the word with genuine excitement. Over time, these well-nurtured connections create a ripple effect, attracting even more individuals who crave that same sense of belonging and meaning. As your movement grows, it becomes more resilient and harder to dismantle. With everyone feeling valued, learning new skills, and connecting deeply with one another, your movement gains strength, endurance, and the energy needed to face challenges head-on. In this way, you ensure that your movement’s flame never dies out.
Chapter 6: Using Positive Energy to Overcome Trolls and Turning Negative Feedback into Advantageous Insight.
When you start a movement, criticism is bound to come your way. Some feedback may be thoughtful and helpful, guiding you toward improvements. But there will also be trolls – people who only want to tear you down, insult you, or distract you. Dealing with negativity can feel discouraging, but remember that trolls don’t represent the majority. Many supporters believe in you and will encourage you. By focusing on their kind words and constructive suggestions, you maintain your confidence and stay on course. Instead of letting negative voices throw you off, read the positive feedback repeatedly. Remind yourself that good people stand behind you. Their supportive comments are like a warm shield that protects you from hateful remarks, allowing you to push forward regardless of who tries to hold you back.
Sometimes, negative feedback can even point you toward unexpected opportunities. Kara Golden faced skepticism when she introduced Hint Water – a fruit-infused beverage without sugar or artificial sweeteners. An industry executive dismissed her idea, claiming that Americans only liked sweet drinks. Instead of feeling defeated, Golden turned this insult into inspiration. If big companies overlooked people who wanted healthier options, she saw a chance to fill that gap. She realized there were others like her who were bored with overly sweetened beverages. By trusting her instincts, she built a successful company worth millions. This example shows that what might seem like discouraging feedback can actually highlight areas where you can stand out. Negativity might sting, but it can also reveal unmet needs or weaknesses in the status quo.
The strategy to handle harsh criticism involves balancing open-mindedness with firmness. First, consider if there’s any useful information hidden in the negative comment. Could it help you make a product safer or improve communication? If so, take note and make changes. If the criticism is empty, personal, or irrelevant – like rude remarks about your appearance – don’t waste energy on it. Your time is better spent perfecting your message, strengthening your movement’s structure, and supporting those who care about the cause. It’s also helpful to establish guidelines for your community, encouraging respectful dialogue and quickly addressing hateful language. This way, you create a positive environment where both supportive fans and constructive critics feel heard, but where pure negativity finds no home.
Overcoming trolls and negativity is about keeping your vision crystal clear and remembering your original purpose. Your cause matters. The hurtful words of a few individuals shouldn’t cloud the truth that you’re working for something good. Focus on the impact your movement is having, from changing laws that protect vulnerable people to shifting public opinion on important social issues. Reflect on the stories of those who’ve benefited from your actions. Each time you do, the noise of haters fades, replaced by the strong heartbeat of your movement. Learn what you can from criticism, discard useless attacks, and keep your supporters close. By doing this, you turn negativity into an advantage, using it to refine your approach and emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined to succeed.
Chapter 7: Embracing Failure as a Necessary Ingredient That Makes Your Movement Stronger and Wiser.
No one likes to fail, but failure is often an essential part of the journey toward success. When you’re trying to create change, you will meet obstacles that knock you down. This doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for leadership or that your idea is bad. It simply means you’re learning what doesn’t work and discovering how to do things better next time. Think of these setbacks as Rocky moments – times when you hit the ground hard and things seem uncertain. Just like the movie boxer Rocky Balboa, your true strength is revealed not when everything goes smoothly, but when you find the courage to stand back up, learn from what went wrong, and keep fighting. Every failure can teach you lessons that guide your next steps.
The best leaders understand that talking openly about mistakes helps everyone improve. At Change.org, they host a Festival of Failure where team members share their worst experiences, discuss what went wrong, and explain what they learned. This practice turns embarrassing errors into valuable knowledge. Instead of hiding failures or feeling ashamed, movements and organizations that celebrate learning create an atmosphere of growth and improvement. Imagine if you and your supporters did the same: whenever a plan flops, you gather, reflect, and figure out how to do better next time. This honest approach makes your movement flexible and resilient. Failures become stepping stones, not dead ends. Over time, you’ll realize that these challenges strengthen your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
Consider Olga Rybkovska’s situation. She wanted to change a Russian law that prevented families from visiting loved ones in intensive care units. This wasn’t a simple task. It meant persuading lawmakers to rewrite regulations and shift long-standing practices. When she hit difficulties, did she give up? No. She turned to her supporters. Among them were lawyers willing to donate their expertise. Thirty lawyers volunteered to help draft the documents needed. This teamwork wouldn’t have formed had she not faced a challenging moment that forced her to reach out. By turning a struggle into an opportunity, Olga showed that failure can push you to seek help in unexpected places and build even stronger alliances.
Failure doesn’t mean your idea wasn’t worthy. It simply means you’re human and learning along the way. When you talk openly about these stumbles, you find comfort and guidance from others who’ve experienced similar setbacks. Sharing lessons learned from failure is how communities grow wiser. Over time, your movement becomes less fragile, more adaptable, and better prepared for hurdles. The fact that you kept going in the face of failure shows real leadership, proving to your supporters that you’re committed and courageous. With every mistake you correct, every barrier you find a way around, you’re becoming a stronger catalyst for change. Ultimately, embracing failure will give your movement greater depth, shape your leadership qualities, and provide you with the resilience to achieve your goals.
Chapter 8: Building a Strong Foundation by Structuring Your Movement for Lasting and Meaningful Change.
A movement isn’t just a random collection of people who share an idea. To stand the test of time and really impact the world, you need a solid foundation. This involves setting clear roles, creating efficient methods for communication, and establishing guidelines so that everyone knows how to contribute. Think of it like building a sturdy house: without a strong frame, the structure can collapse under pressure. Good organization helps you handle growth, keep track of responsibilities, and maintain order even when challenges arise. By giving supporters clear ways to get involved – such as joining a local chapter, moderating an online forum, or leading awareness events – you ensure that energy doesn’t get wasted or lost. A well-built foundation turns scattered enthusiasm into focused action.
One key part of building this foundation is using technology wisely. Online platforms let you share updates quickly, connect supporters across countries, and respond promptly to questions or issues. Tools like social media groups, mailing lists, and websites make it easy for people to find information, join conversations, and stay inspired. But technology is only as helpful as the structure behind it. Assign responsibilities: Who will update the website? Who will moderate comments? Who will handle direct contact with decision makers? By dividing tasks thoughtfully, you avoid confusion and burnout. This balanced approach allows everyone to focus on their strengths. Over time, your movement’s strong internal systems enable it to grow bigger without losing its sense of direction or purpose.
Remember that clarity in your movement’s mission and values acts as the core of your foundation. Make sure everyone understands your purpose and vision. Write them down, share them frequently, and remind people why the work matters. This prevents disagreements or misunderstandings down the road. When everyone knows what they’re working toward, decision-making becomes smoother. You’ll spend less time arguing about the next step and more time making progress. Also, establish a code of conduct. Show that you won’t tolerate hateful language or dishonesty. Setting these standards early helps create a respectful, constructive environment. People who join later will naturally follow the example set by your earliest members. Thus, your movement’s culture remains positive and principled as it expands.
Finally, remember that a strong foundation isn’t rigid. It should be flexible enough to adapt as your movement evolves. Early in your journey, you might focus on building awareness. Later, you might dive into policy change or large-scale fundraising. Your structure should grow with you, welcoming new tools, fresh ideas, and innovative strategies. Seek feedback from your members, listen to their experiences, and adjust accordingly. This openness to improvement ensures that your foundation never becomes outdated or too narrow to handle fresh challenges. Over time, you’ll see that investing in a clear, organized structure pays off. Your movement will stand firmly, able to weather storms of criticism, changes in leadership, or sudden bursts of growth. With a strong foundation, your cause can inspire lasting impact.
Chapter 9: Expanding Your Reach Through Media, Partnerships, and New Strategies to Amplify Your Cause.
Once your movement has a strong foundation, it’s time to spread your message far and wide. You might start local, focusing on your community’s problems and connecting with nearby supporters. But as your movement gains momentum, consider expanding its reach. Use media outlets, social networks, blogs, and podcasts to tell your story. Contact journalists who cover topics related to your cause. Offer interviews, share personal testimonies, and provide them with facts, images, or videos that help them understand why your movement is newsworthy. The more people hear about your cause, the more likely they are to join, support, or at least understand what you’re working toward. In this way, media can serve as a powerful amplifier, turning a small voice into a chorus that captures widespread attention.
Partnerships can also supercharge your movement’s impact. Consider teaming up with groups that share similar values, even if their missions aren’t identical to yours. For example, if you’re fighting for cleaner air, you might partner with organizations focused on renewable energy or wildlife protection. By joining forces, you pool resources, knowledge, and connections, making it easier to influence decision makers and inform the public. Partnerships also help you learn from each other’s experiences. Maybe another group has a strong social media presence, and you’re great at community organizing. Combining these strengths can turn small ripples into big waves. Through partnerships, your movement can reach new audiences, gain credibility, and demonstrate that you’re part of a larger, interlinked effort to make the world better.
Don’t be afraid to try fresh strategies or think creatively. Maybe hosting a documentary screening about your issue can attract people who would otherwise never learn about it. Or perhaps organizing art exhibits, music performances, or sports events related to your cause can spark interest in unexpected places. Experimenting allows you to find new ways to engage people. Technology also provides countless opportunities. Virtual conferences, live-streamed interviews, and interactive online workshops can reach supporters even if they’re thousands of miles away. The more varied your approaches, the more likely you are to connect with different groups. Some people respond best to emotional stories, others to data and facts, and still others to hands-on activities. By offering multiple paths to involvement, you invite everyone to care.
As you broaden your reach, remember to keep your message consistent and your purpose clear. Growth should never mean watering down your vision. Instead, by maintaining the heart of your mission, all new efforts simply become new ways of expressing it. In time, you’ll see your movement’s name mentioned in broader circles. People you’ve never met will know your cause and why it matters. Reporters may write articles, influencers might promote your message, and schools could include it in their classrooms. These signs of expansion mean your initial spark is now a bright flame lighting the way for many. By embracing media, forming alliances, and trying new ideas, you give your movement a voice that can be heard in every corner of the globe.
Chapter 10: Celebrating Success, Shaping Tomorrow, and Seeing How One Small Action Can Echo Worldwide.
As your movement matures, you’ll experience moments of triumph. Perhaps an important law finally passes, a harmful practice ends, or a new product line appears that reflects your vision. These successes aren’t just personal victories; they belong to everyone who supported you. Celebrate these moments. Thank the people who stood by you, recognize the effort it took, and acknowledge that without your community, none of this would be possible. These celebrations remind everyone of why they worked so hard, renewing their commitment to keep going. Taking time to appreciate achievements also shows the world that change is possible. It proves that determined individuals can influence policies, shift cultural attitudes, or inspire brands to become more inclusive. Success stories encourage others to start their own meaningful movements.
But remember, success isn’t the end of the journey. Once you’ve reached one goal, there’s often more work to be done. The world is constantly changing, and you can use your newfound momentum to tackle new challenges. Maybe now you can help other communities facing similar issues, expand your movement’s focus, or mentor younger activists. By training future leaders and sharing your experiences, you ensure that the spirit of your movement lives on. Over time, what began as your personal mission can inspire a network of leaders who launch their own causes. In this way, your movement’s legacy grows, helping shape the future for generations to come. What was once a spark inside your heart now lights the path for countless others.
Reflect on the journey. It likely started with doubt, uncertainty, and maybe a sense of loneliness. Over time, you overcame obstacles and learned valuable lessons about storytelling, strategy, patience, and resilience. You found allies, developed communication skills, and discovered the power of shared purpose. Now, look back at how far you’ve come. Every small step, every difficult conversation, and every moment of doubt you pushed through helped build a chain of events leading to actual change. Your willingness to try, fail, learn, and try again created something real. It might have influenced a global corporation’s policy, changed a country’s law, or simply empowered people who felt unheard. These ripples, once set in motion, can grow bigger, touching lives all around the world.
In the end, understanding that one person can spark a movement is the most powerful lesson of all. This knowledge frees you from the idea that only special, famous, or extremely talented individuals matter. You matter. Your concerns, your ideas, and your actions can reshape society. With purpose as your guide, a vision lighting your path, and respectful strategies to gain allies, you have everything you need to launch a meaningful movement. Celebrate your achievements, continue improving, and never stop believing that you can influence the world. Now, as you stand on the horizon of possibility, know that your voice can inspire others to join forces. As more people become purposeful leaders, positive change spreads widely, and hope becomes an unbreakable bond connecting us all.
