One message echoed through this week’s conversation with Coach Bruce Pearl:
your giving platform begins at home.
Bruce began w ithhis kitchen table, where values conversations take shape. And that’s where this week’s Giving Challenge begins.
The Giving Challenge: Use Your Kitchen Table as Your Platform
Choose one value, cause, or commitment that genuinely matters to you, and bring it into a conversation with the people closest to you.
Your kitchen table is the most authentic platform you have. If you can speak your values at home, you will come to appreciate them even more.
Why Accept This Challenge
Bruce reminded us that giving begins with clarity — and clarity strengthens relationships.
When you tell someone what you care about:
You open new pathways for generosity.
You model purpose for the people who look to you.
You live out your values instead of keeping them private.
Your life setting is precisely where your giving should grow.
Where to Begin
Ask yourself:
What is one value or cause I want those closest to me to know truly matters to me?
Name it. Share it. Listen. Refine.
Let the conversation unfold naturally. And enjoy the journey.
A Final Invitation
If this episode with Coach Pearl resonated, consider sharing it with someone who might appreciate the gift. This, too, can be part of your values conversation.
