Mike,
I'm glad I found you and your blog. As I mentioned in my email, I followed the breadcrumbs from the Employee Engagement network, to your blog, to LinkedIn.

Like you, I am striving to make a positive difference in the world through what I do, whether at work (as a Learning &amp; OD Guy), at home (husband and father of two young men), or at my faith community (St. Matthias in Somerset NJ).

Recently, I have learned about the work of John Scherer, organizational consultant and Lutheran minister, whose latest book is called Five Questions That Change Everything. (Here's a link to more info: http://www.the5questions.com/the-book/)

When you wrote, "I don’t have to fix everyone, just me," I immediately thought of Scherer. His five questions are all about becoming who you are.

Being a question-oriented person, I find myself gravitating toward his five. One of which is:  What calls you?  He defines it with a further question:

~ What kind of difference would I like to think my life could make in the world?

Keep up asking the great questions, Mike.

Terry
