A destiny fulfilled — 2 years ago
I just returned from hearing John Wood and members of his organization describe their progress in helping to change the world.
John is Founder and CEO of Room to Read, an organization that helps children from less developed countries gain the lifelong gift of education. While at the meeting, I was able to read an advance copy of John’s new book “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children” (Collins: September 1, 2006)
I’ve heard John speak on many occasions… from formal presentations, to fireside chats and I found this book to be somewhat similar to sitting down to an intimate dinner conversation with the author… it is a unique story told by a very gifted storyteller, made all the more enthralling because it is told by a man of action ... watch for this book this fall, it will create buzz and is a must read for anyone who doesn’t just want to believe in the power of individuals to make a difference, but wants to know that there is a real case history of just such success.
