10 Insights on Making an Impact

This presentation consists of highlights from the interview with Moe Abdou,

founder & host of 33voices®.

As the eldest child of two Salvation Army Commanding Officers, Mina Chang was im-mersed in inner-city social programs and world mission projects and got a first-hand look

at how these efforts can save and change lives. Her childhood exposed her to the en-tire economic spectrum around the world. As a child, she did not see poverty-stricken children of disaster areas as any different from herself, but she instinctively knew they

needed help. As a graduate of the University of the Nations, Mina studied development and aid practices with the goal of one day dedicating her life to becoming a full-time aid worker. Mina is a graduate of the Executive Nonprofit Leadership Program at Southern

Methodist University and the Center for Nonprofit Management.

Insight #4

A passionate humanitarian lives inside each of us. Ignite it by recognizing that we are all

responsible for our shared future.

Insight #5

At Linking the World, the cycle of poverty is disrupted when local

communities are empowered to take ownership of their success — for they

know that the only thing standing between them and their dreams is their fears.

Insight #6

The leader who mirrors her team will rise — for she knows that in a shared

spirit lives their shared mission.

Insight #7

Above all else, admired leaders identify talented individuals and equip them with the

capabilities to do what she could never do alone.

Insight #8

“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand

with all his might that which he desires.”

- Paulo Coelho on learning from a child

Insight #9

Next time you’re engaged in a fundraisinginitiative, seek not to ask for a contribution.

Instead, try first to open the mind of the individual; for only then will her

heart and wallet follow.

Insight #10

Embrace the difficult challenge, for “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

If you saw the eyes of your child in a struggling stranger,
