The Ethical Revolution Starts Now!!
As my first book, #IntentionalIntegrity, is launched today by St. Martin's Press, I'm reflecting on where this journey started...with Mom. She passed away 14 years ago, but her influence on me is still tangible. She was an avid reader, always sitting in the same rocking chair, glasses on, a good light nearby and a book in her hand. If she were alive, Mom would be at the bookstore today as the doors opened, buying every copy, proudly telling the employees that her son was the author.
She'd be particularly proud of the mission of the book..#integrity, as it was so very important to her. Now, I can almost hear her remind me that though this book is complete, it is just the start. I am profoundly disturbed by the deficit of integrity in so many areas of society. And yet, I've never been so hopeful -- I'm encouraged by the fast moving trend of global connectedness that has released the energy of an ethical revolution. I am hoping that the book will be a platform, a starting point from which we can all applaud acts of integrity, and demand change when basic ethical principles are being violated. Let's get started.
