"You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out."
Steve Jobs
“Volunteers are vital to enabling this country to live up to the true promise of its
heritage.” William Jefferson Clinton
Someone may ask you to
volunteer or serve in a leadership capacity
But ….
• I don’t have anything to offer
• I need to focus on …
• My employer won’t support it
• I don’t have time!
They have asked because …
• You have good skills to bring to the task
• You have a valuable perspective
• You have the knowledge to do the job
• You are respected

Let’s think about why you should say “yes”
• Is it something you have an interest in?
• You are respected by your peers
• You have knowledge and skills that are valuable.
• Would this opportunity enhance your ability to do your job?
• Your increased knowledge and expertise will enhance your value to your employer
• We are always busy –
– Select the ways to spend your time; if not “now” –when?
• YOU can make a difference!
• You will feel more useful, successful, and fulfilled
• If you didn’t volunteer to assist with the situation, do you really have a right to complaint about it?
LOOK FOR AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WORK FOR YOU!
