“I to the Power of We” is a phrase we hear a lot at LinkedIn.
It’s about how the individual, with the power of their team, their relationships and connections, can be successful in a
way they simply couldn’t be on their own.
It’s a value that we not only talk about – but one that I experienced in an incredibly moving way.

My Story of Transformation Started Here….
LinkedIn offered a transformation grant (up to $3,000) for something that would transform yourself, transform your family or transform your community
I applied for the grant to plan a 5K fundraiser fun run I had been planning in San Francisco for the past 10 years
– The run benefits the Fred Gabler Helping Hand Camp Fund, a non-profit hat sends underprivileged kids to camp
– Fred was a friend of mine from summer camp who was killed on 9/11– I plan the race every year to honor his memory & raise $ to send kids
to camp
I was awarded the grant!

I was asked to tell my story at LinkedIn’s Global Sales Kickoff event
in front of 1000 colleagues…

…and everyone was so inspired they asked me:
“How can we help?” “How can we get involved?”
“What can we do?”
and as a result…

a tragedy & turn it into something positive –
I am here to help.”
