Great Work Quote #65 “How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate…”

statue - Caesar

“How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!”
~ Maya Angelou

One of the great blessings of writing Do More Great Work was inviting some people I admire greatly to contribute to the book. Inviting them, and being accepted.

This coming week I feature Great Work interviews with some of the contributors to Do More Great Work.

Seth Godin, Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Non-Conformity, Michael Port of the Think Big Revolution, Leo Babauta of Zen Habits, Penelope Trunk of Brazen Careerist and HR guru Dave Ulrich are all people who’ve written brilliant pieces for the book and have also sat down to discuss Great Work with me. I’m delighted to acknowledge them here for their brains, their generosity and their support.

So who are you heroes? Tell me one or two or three – let me know in the comments.

And what have you done to reach out and say Hello? Or thank you? Or Hurrah!?

    I can tell you about two heroes those came to my mind. First is my teacher of life. Lama Ole Nydahl (http://www.lamaolenydahl.org/) who travels almost 40 years, 350 days around the world and teaches dharma. His relentless attitude is always inspiring.
    The second is Marylin Atkinson (http://www.erickson.edu/erickson_coach_training_dr_marilyn_atkinson.htm) the coach and the best coach teacher I have ever met.
    I have them both in my heart.
