Here are some of the big topics we talked about…

• Gia’s story of how she came to be the person who helps people help the world
• Brainstorming how to make a difference, no computers needed
• Integrating helping into your lifestyle, for example on a monthly or daily basis
• From making eye contact and smiling to helping the homeless to any level of involvement in an organization, Gia covers the bases with simple starting strategies
• Really easy to follow ways of breaking down the planning process for volunteering
• Ideas for helping the world in 30 seconds, 5 minutes, and 60 minutes - these are great!
• In heart work (compassion in action), differentiating between helper & rescuer roles
• Self checks for overdoing in your personal volunteering or in a nonprofit setting

In Gia’s Voice“Think of what organizations you support or [a cause] you feel drawn to.”“Starting somewhere is so much more important than not starting at all. I don’t want you to be in overwhelm - I want to show you how simple it is. You can’t choose wrong. Trust yourself. You know what you want to do, what you’re drawn to. Bigger isn’t better.”“It’s important to remember that we all get caught up in our world but we also interact everyday with people who are going through their things. If we take more time to notice one another and stand in each other’s shoes, it makes things so much easier and life more beautiful.”“The action of doing something to assist someone is helping. To rescue is to save someone from a dangerous or distressing situation.”“Remember you can advocate, you can empower, you can assist, rather than enabling or preaching or doing something for someone.”
