How to Become a Life-Saving Leader

If you do nothing else in the next 5 minutes please share this post with your network.

Doing so could help my friend Lily, and here's why.

I have had the good fortune to meet some incredible people from all over the world in my 71 years.

Lily Din Woo tops this list of people.

If you have joined us for a workshop there's a good chance you have met her.

If you have heard me speak there's a good chance you have heard her story.

In case you don't know her, here is a VERY brief introduction to my friend and colleague...

Lily spent over 25 years as an educator in the Manhattan School District.

She lead an elementary school in Chinatown from being a failing school to one of the best in the city.

She then successfully led her staff, students, their families, and the community through the unimaginable - the attacks on 9/11 just blocks from her school.

Lily has spent her life serving and helping others. Now she needs our help.

Lily is in end stage renal disease and is undergoing daily dialysis four times a day.

Unfortunately, none of her immediate family members are a match. Therefore, Lily needs a living kidney donor as soon as possible.

It's possible that you could be a match for Lily.

Tanya and I put together a short 3 minute video explaining more about Lily's search and how you can help.

After you have forwarded this message to your friends, family, and colleagues I want you to do one more thing *|FNAME|*.

Call someone you care about.

Call your mom and dad, call your grandparents.

Call your kids (or text them)!

Call the friend you haven't spoken to in a long time, the colleague who was struggling a few weeks ago, your elderly neighbor.

Call someone, ask them how they are doing, and simply listen to them.

As leaders it is our job to take care of each other. And more often than not, we can do that by simply picking up the phone.

It could make someone's day or save someone's life.
