What are the risk and rewards? This book spells it out by recounting the journeys of a baker’s dozen of corporate high-fliers who have made this transition and more than thrived. Their stories tell what non-profit leaders actually do, what they had to consider in making the decision about whether to change jobs, what they learnt after shifting from a corporate to a non-profit, and their advice for anyone considering a similar move. Changing Lanes, Changing Lives is the first-ever collection of stories about corporate leaders who have transitioned to become successful non-profit champions. The book tells the inspiring stories of the following non-profit leaders: § Alfred Tan (Singapore Children’s Society) § Colin Goh (The Old Parliament House) § Corinna Lim (AWARE) § Tim Oei (AWWA) § Veronica Gamez (aidha) § Yap Su-Yin (Tan Chin Tuan Foundation) § Chan Wah Tiong (All Saints Home) § Junko Yoda (Community Linked) § Foo Pek Hong (Kidney Dialysis Foundation) § Debbie Seah (Make-A-Wish Foundation) § William Wan (Singapore Kindness Movement) § Jose Raymond (Singapore Environment Council) § Martina Wong (School Pocket Money Fund) CNPL President Laurence Lien, who, himself, left a successful public service career to be the CEO of the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, contributes a foreword.
Download or read book Changing Lanes Changing Lives written by Michael Ian Menzies and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real-life story vividly describing how Michael was in the fast lane of life, living dangerously, filled with anger, living ungodly, committing adultery, living a lie. He speeded excessively, endangering the lives of many. He hated his life, hated who he was, or who he thought he was. If he couldn't love himself, how could he possibly love anyone else?He had devised a 'masterplan' to end it all. That is why it was so hard to beat Michael on the streets, as he was fearless, willing to take serious risks, hoping that one of those races would have ended with a big bang, a spectacle, and death would have been instant and painless. Fellow racers just thought he was crazy, but they had no way of knowing what was in his heart. What Michael did not know, was that God had a plan for his life. Suddenly, his life will change forever. His spiritual awakening and his supernatural walk with the Heavenly Father will force him to make the biggest lane change in his entire life. Changing lanes saved his life. Will it save yours too?
Download or read book Changing Lanes written by Joseph F. DiMento and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the evolution of the urban freeway, the competing visions that informed it, and the emerging alternatives for more sustainable urban transportation. Urban freeways often cut through the heart of a city, destroying neighborhoods, displacing residents, and reconfiguring street maps. These massive infrastructure projects, costing billions of dollars in transportation funds, have been shaped for the last half century by the ideas of highway engineers, urban planners, landscape architects, and architects -- with highway engineers playing the leading role. In Changing Lanes, Joseph DiMento and Cliff Ellis describe the evolution of the urban freeway in the United States, from its rural parkway precursors through the construction of the interstate highway system to emerging alternatives for more sustainable urban transportation. DiMento and Ellis describe controversies that arose over urban freeway construction, focusing on three cases: Syracuse, which early on embraced freeways through its center; Los Angeles, which rejected some routes and then built I-105, the most expensive urban road of its time; and Memphis, which blocked the construction of I-40 through its core. Finally, they consider the emerging urban highway removal movement and other innovative efforts by cities to re-envision urban transportation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unforgettable true story of one man’s escape from the school-to-prison pipeline, how he reinvented himself as a pastor and education reform advocate, and what his journey can teach us about turning the collateral damage in the lives of our youth into hope. “A heart-wrenching and triumphant story that will change lives.”—Bishop T. D. Jakes Michael Phillips would never become anything. At least, that’s what he was told. It seemed like everyone was waiting for him to just fall through the cracks. After losing his father, suffering a life-altering car accident, and losing his college scholarship, Michael turned to selling drugs to make ends meet. But when his house was raided, he was arrested and thrown into a living nightmare. When it looked like he would be sentenced to spend years behind bars, the judge gave him a choice—go to a special college program for adjudicated youth or face the possibility of a thirty-year prison sentence. It wasn’t hard to pick. From that choice, a mission was born—to help change the system that shuffles so many young Black men like Michael straight from school to prison. Today, Michael is the pastor of a thriving church, a local leader in Baltimore, and a member of the Maryland State Board of Education. He discovered that education was the path to becoming who he was created to be. Armed with research, statistics, and his powerful story, Michael tackles the embedded privilege of the education system and introduces ideas for change that could level the playing field and reduce negative impacts on vulnerable youth. He explores ways in which the readers can help advocate and provide resources for students, and points us to the one thing anyone can start doing, no matter who we are or what our role is: speak into young kids’ lives. Tell them of their inherent worth and purpose. In this inspiring, thought-provoking, and energizing call to action, Michael’s practical steps provide a way forward to anyone wanting to help create space for collateral hope in the lives of for young people around them.
