William Wilberforce - A force in Change
A delightful reading - A Journey Through the Life of William Wilberforce (2007) by Kevin Belmonte. Kevin Belmonte does a superb job of sharing the history of the great abolitionist who changed the face of a nation and had one of the greatest impact on the betterment of the world. According to Mr. Belmonte, William Wilberforce was "one of the greats souls of history" (p.6).
For me, this book, is a reminder that it one committed individual can make a difference. We can be that catalyst in our home, schools, community and even the business community. All it takes is a our willingness to stand for what is good and right.

In Right Makes Might: Reviving Ethics to Improve Your Business, readers catch a timely glimpse of the pervasive, troubling environment overtaking the business community.

As a result of these practices society and the business community pay a tremendous price.
