On Labor Day, Have Somebody’s Back

Posted on September 7th, 2009 by Keith Ferrazzi

rosie_the_riveterToday we celebrate the contributions of the American worker - at a time when umployment is at its highest in 26 years. Why not use the holiday to set some intentions around contributing to the greater good this week - and of course, beyond this week. We're not going to come out of crisis by government edict. It's going to take everyone's commitment.

A few suggestions - and feel free to add your own in comments.

1. Call the people you know who are out of work and ask them a very simple question: "What can I do to help?" Then be prepared to follow through.

2. Bring in a home cooked meal or cater lunch for your team or a couple colleagues at work, and focus the conversation on positive intentions.

3. Have an opinion on the health care debate?  Write your rep. 

And here, from Chris Brogan, are suggestions for kind acts you can accomplish without leaving your desk chair.
