Finding EnSpiration:
Welcome to the first issue of EnSpiring News.
When I made the decision nearly a year ago to launch EnSpire Communication Consultants, it was my intent to harness my highly diverse experience and creatively channel it into something that helps organizations to grow and prosper. Many of you provided encouragement and advice as I began setting up the company and I want to again thank each one of you for the valuable help.
EnSpire Communication emerged in September of 2008 amidst one of our country’s bleakest hours. While we continue to be bombarded by doomsayers, I have always believed that there is great power in maintaining a positive outlook. Today, I invite all of you to join me in taking a positive attitude – feeding our passions – being persistent while exhibiting patience – bringing prayer to our lives – embracing our power to make change – and sharing in the prosperity that might follow.
