The Giving Edge

For the second year in a row, I am running my “Giving Edge” campaign with clients. Instead of a year-end gift of swag or a “tchotchke” to show my appreciation for the trust they’ve placed in me as their coach, I offered to donate on Giving Tuesday to the organization or cause of their choice.

I was thrilled with the response. More than 25 clients from this year took me up on my offer.

I was happy to spend time this morning making these contributions that will help make a difference. It was great to see so many of these organizations running 2x or 3x (or more) matching campaigns for donations made today.

Here are the organizations my clients selected. It’s literally an A to Z of awesome causes!

If the mission of one or more of these means something to you, I hope you’ll join me in supporting them:
