Meeting Michael

Monday was a fabulous day for being a LifeShare Associate in Southern CA. We had a wonderful meeting with the CEO, Michael Yanke. A great looking guy with dazzling brown eyes and a fire and passion for MyLifeShare which is contagious. I had known this hearing him speak on the weekly calls, but to meet him and see how excited he was for his little baby that was growing before his eyes was encouraging, and something I hadn't experienced in my working life for a LONG time. (Needless to say as a stay at home mom the past 3.5 years, I haven't really had a working life recently, but back when I WAS working, a leader such as Michael was rare-I had one such leader in my professional career once in a time period of 7 years.) We had a good laugh over our envy of other associates who were able to share so easily due to them having older kids in activities. Hopefully this summer and next year I will meet more parents and be able to do the same-share MyLifeShare with other parents!
Other associates, and there were a LOT of them, brought cards they had made, and each and every one told such a great story. A picture is worth a thousand words and with all of the pictures on those cards, they were literally spewing words-words of love, friendship, laughter and some just plain had words on them! I wished that everyone I knew, most of whom are out of state, could have seen all of those cards to realize the truly endless possibilities MyLifeShare offers.
My husband had an interview on Tuesday, so, in old school form, I brought us back to our roots and sent his interviewer(on his behalf, of course) a thank you card. While he also sent an e-mail to be timely as other interviewees(is that a word?)would, no doubt, be, I hope that the $.88 investment in a card will be that added touch to get him in the running for the second interview and, in the end, the position.
