The Story Box Amy Wolff Unboxing - How Small Acts of Kindness Can Give People Hope
"Pinch me - that's how I feel about my job. I am an honest and compassionate truth-teller for clients so they can level-up their speaking/presentation skills. I get to create brave environments where visible transformation happens (real outcomes!). Not only do I love earning the trust of clients and watching them develop their speaking presence, I also love owning this company with my father; a company he started over 25 years ago.
Along with supporting brilliant clients, from shoe designers to engineers to authors to utility managers to sales teams to attorneys, I also get to be a speaker coach for TEDx speakers at TEDxPortland, the largest TEDx event in the United States.
Where I feel most alive is taking my skill and passion to one of my most favorite places in the world, Kigali, Rwanda, where I train pastors how to be more effective communicators of hope.
Expertise: public speaking, presenting, message consulting, coaching, speaker coach,"
With so much suffering in our communities and in the world, it can feel impossible to make an impact. "What good can I possibly do?" we ask.
As a busy mom and small business owner, Amy Wolff often felt unqualified and too overwhelmed to address the suffering around her. But one day in 2017, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city.
This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement, hope, and love, which spread to 50 states and 27 countries in just 18 months.
Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering. This book discusses:
- the drain of compassion fatigue
- why we should show up imperfectly to help others
- how to claim hope for ourselves
- practical ideas of how to respond to suffering
- strategies of how to love people who are “different”
- resilience when love-spreading efforts backfire
- how to raise a compassionate generation
- the science of hope
This feel-good, call-to-action book will restore your belief in humanity and empower you to live a life of impact. Changing the world, or at least your corner of it, is easier than you think.
