Welcome to the April 27, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living!

Thank you to everyone who submitted posts for this week’s carnival.  It’s almost ridiculous how much useful information there is in these links.  The power and value of the content in this carnival is amazing.  

When I go into organizations with Verve Coaching, I’m usually working with the leadership on identifying barriers to producing results, and engineering solutions to those barriers through training, coaching, and facilitation.  I’ve been thinking about this carnival lately as an organization with brilliant potential, but limited results.  The content here is so rich and pertinent, but there’s a limit that has to do with the relatively small number of people who know about it.  It seems to me that thousands more people would find this resource exceptionally valuable, if they only knew it existed. 

This being the case, I’m going to make a challenge.  Whether you’re a regular contributor, or a first-time visitor to this carnival, I challenge you to engage the people who’ve never heard of it.  If everyone who regularly visits this carnival gets one new person to check it out, we’ll have doubled the size of our community.  That’s our first goal… to double the size of the impact this carnival makes in people’s lives. 

If you’re up for it, please send a link to folks who may be interested, and thank you for your support!
