Opis

Author Cliff Dochterman's second book, As I Was Saying..., is filled with generous humor, a cajoling wit, and a world of inspiration. In it, Dochterman does his utmost to motivate fellow Rotary Club members to achieve their best and to serve the communities in which they live. A former worldwide president of Rotary International, Dochterman offers this inspiring collection of twenty-three of his favorite speeches. In twenty-four chapters with titles like "You Can Change the Life for Someone," "Friendly Fire of Rotary," and "Rotary's Original Idea - Vocational Service," the author weaves a history of what life is like behind the podium and shares a number of stories of the humanitarian experiences he had as he traveled the world as Rotary president. Intimate and yielding, readers come to realize that, while there is suffering in the world and poverty in their own backyard, by opening up discussions-by learning to speak, listen, and serve-the world inherently becomes a better place.
