The other day at a family barbeque my father asked me how I was enjoying my new leadership role at Ascend Alliance. It was noisy with children playing their favorite summer games and I was not really sure how to answer him without evoking a deep conversation. Instantly, flash of images rolled through my mind, recounting a number of exciting events from the past four months. Almost without restraint, one word flashed to mind and leapt from my lips – ENTHUSIASM.
Enthusiasm is definitely the word to describe how I feel about my short tenure as CEO of Ascend Alliance. The word enthusiasm literally means a strong excitement or feeling; taking its origin from the Greek word enthousiasmos, meaning to be inspired. As I have embraced my leadership role of this wonderful organization I have truly been inspired; inspired to carry on a powerful legacy and motivated to craft a new and exciting vision for the future.
Since 1982 the founders of Ascend Alliance and their supporters have been changing lives by promoting self reliance across the world. The impact of this organization can hardly be quantified with numbers or described by words. Let it suffice to say that great things have been accomplished.
The great Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”. I would concur that enthusiasm is the mother of all greatness. Enthusiasm has been, and will continue to be, a driving force here at Ascend Alliance. Personally, I have never been so passionate about my life. I fall asleep every night and wake up every morning thinking about the opportunities that lie ahead.
Join with the team at Ascend Alliance and let the power of enthusiasm infuse passion in your lives and purpose in your actions!
