Next Tuesday – 14 08 05

Denise - friends coming in for the Birthday party - from out of state and Norcal - most important are her son and father - photos of them in their Tuxedos - Win Win for F4H community finding synergy and developing opportunities. So grateful Dr. Tim and Mei Lin, and possibly Bill Daul will join us in Manhattan Beach on Sunday.

Our DOME Head Photographer JiaHang Lu has been covering NFL Hall of Fame - taking photos of the 8 new Hall of Famers and the commissioner of the NFL, and the president of the Hall of Fame, David Baker - very amazing opportunity for Dome Entertainment - this is our time!

Mei Lin reported:

Sophia Parker raised $20,000 for African charity, a Taiwanese buddhist monk went to Africa and built orphanages and training academies...the group came to Maryland to demonstrate

Their company raised 20k for them while they were here...buddhist monks, African children. connections we can make when we care about things.

Mei Lin will share a link from Sophia for next week.

Denise - UFUNGUO Community Development project - healthcare in Kenya for 300 girls who need more computer connectivity - a couple of laptops - Vice President for Ufunguo, Karen, a nurse from Africa studying in the USA, working with WINGS OF LOVE INternational to create a public health fair - a team of medical professionals will be joining in Kakemega, Kenya; Purpose

1. Bring awareness and support the girls

2. Support expansion thru fundraising

3. Take care of their health care needs over time

Sounds similar to what Sophia did - children have needs, when people can see the need, more people are ready to open their pocketbooks

Tammy - Non profit progress- legal paperwork in progress - waiting for IRS approval - signed up for VolunteerMatch (recommended by Vint Cerf) now approved to get volunteers to help out - 2 responses so far. Now coordinating to see what we can do!

waiting for IRS to approve

Trying to do it without hiring a lawyer. Got the employee ID number.

Got State of Information filed with IRS application for 501c)3)

Mei Lin:

doing work with Health and Human Services. Wants help on a project with the California Health Corps

They are stepping in to try to help as a way to learn.

To support those in rural health across the country with health technologies to help people living in rural areas to have better health.

technical assistance, possibilities of medicine with new technologies. listening to what they are trying to do.

Connecting. listening. facilitating.

ideal for the aspirations with the CA Health Corps.

Can we use technologies in varied ways. Sophia is #55 in INC 500. Brave and courageous that I want to learn from her. I am moving in that direction.

Jacqueline:

Using the community based approach and doing a needs assessment is a good idea. look at assets they already have. use it for the foundation for a development approach.

in parallel look at waht is being doing. mobile technologies in that aspect

rural work is international.

familiair with domestic rural work.

looking at it, will do some research for Mei Lin.

Needs assessment - before acting

mobile tech in rural health

to support people that have already received the grant to do the work. ideal to be a trading post for gathering of information, road blocks, what to do to solve unseen issues. technical assistance.

not directly doing the work, but being an advisor to those that are already doing the work.

See what their own road map is and see if we can make it stronger or more robust, instead of waiting for them to hit obstacles, but anticipate what they might need to prevent the obstacles

Mary Kay Ash "I have the bloodiest knees of all" she asks all women to learn from the knocks on her own head, as she has fallen down so often. Watch and learn from her and dont make the same mistakes.

Denise just spent a week at the 52nd annual Mary Kay Seminar - grown up with her, gone from 200,000 beauty consultants now 3.5 million globally - incredible legacy - Ryan Rogers is Mary Kays grandson and running the company now

MK-s husband died the same week she was going to open the company - all her advisors told her to fold it up - a single mom with 3 kids - she said she was not going to stop - 19 year old son Richard Rogers had lifesavings $5000 - and invested it in the company - now his son Ryan is running the company, which has annual sales over $3Billion.

Started in 1963, in the 1980's became publicly held company - Stock holders frowned upon MKs family rewarding extravagant prizes and high compensation to the sales force members and wanted her to give the profits to the stock holders - Mary Kay and her son Richard created a miracle and they did a leveraged buy out, took it back to be a privately held company so they could continue to give the profits to the people who made it happen - reinvested in the sales force - pink cadillacs and recognizing people

An ounce of recognition is worth a pound of money. Praise people to success.

Mary Kay Ash: Our P and L stands for People and Love, not Profit and Loss.

this will always be worth much more than the physical aspects of success

this is what Denise does from the ground up and the top down - recognition

Read Mary Kay's autobiography - Denise has many copies. Grandson at 7 years old, Mary Kay had her book on "people management" and showed a copy inscribed to Ryan - she knew he would be the one to be the president , out of her many grandkids

and it is happening today - he has her beautiful spirit and mannerisms - the family spirit

The Mary Kay Foundation is run by her granddaughters

When she died 12 years ago - they searched for the next head of Mary Kay - and hired some corporate woman who ran American Express - she read her speech off the teleprompter - she was a figurehead - and did not have it inside her - within days, they removed her - it was obvious she was not going to be able to replace Mary Kay - it shows you, you can't create that.

Now having family it makes all the difference

I can feel the legacy that you are keeping alive within your self, and creating a new legacy in your own way.

Until I met you, I never met anyone that had been in the Mary Kay family.. I would love to read her autobiography. just this morning the story about the 3 supreme court justices that are women , in terms of access for women, that it is behind the progress of other groups.

wondering why this is still going on. realizing the wonderful examples, Mary kay is a positive leader. What did she do? how did she do it? can we apply the recipe in Franchise for Hum

jac. public health

tam mentorship

meil lin community and public health

Denise - at banquet I hosted in Dallas - Mary Kay was the most powerful I ever met - so smart, blue eye shadow, high heels, bee hive wig - she made you feel you were the only one in the room - she would look into your eyes and made you feel you were the only one she cared about

She worked very hard in an all male company Fuller Brush - she worked very hard and won the top award, and flew to the convention to receive her award - she expected an award like the last year an alligator bag - they gave her a fishing lamp - when the president shook her hand, he looked at the other people behind her, and did not look her in the eye

She learned from that - and never did that -

Mei Lin: We all have that chance to learn from Mary Kay and her ways.

Jac: It is motivating to see how one person is available to see rise up and to motivate.

Mei Lin: reminds me of a promise I made to myself at Oracle. I felt so alone, and devastated by the leadership model that was all around me. Partly being a woman. Partly being a minority. Partly angry at how people were treating each other. I thought to myself, that I tought I would find ways to reach out to people that are like my younger self, so that they won

t feel so abandoned, as I did when I was at Oracle. it was so crazy. it was the wild west. the accountant was telling jokes, what happens? The accountants would say,

what number do you want it to be?

I was shocked. i thought, how did I get here? What can I do?

I was just as capable as I am now, but when you find yourself in the place. that everyone is taking for granted

Denise suggested being introduced to

Aaron Beam, - 7 years after he left his company HealthSouth as CFO- he still went to jail for 3 months for "cooking the books"

Spends his life now talking about Ethics and traveling around the country inspiring young leaders.

Mei Lin: two years after I left oracle, I couldnt do anything.

over the last few weeks, thinking about what we are doing at F4H.

deeper underlying foundations, embody my hope

we can be an oasis and safe harbor about what is going on, but dealing with the world as it is, and what can we do within that space.

i know that whole feeling of feeling, that nobody else thinks this is a problem.

at F4H...we need to be safe to say, " i thinki this is a problem

what do you think?

felt so helpless like drowning....all the Enron stories showed that this is how it was...at this is how it stops.

friends

transition : old time accounting to software.

oracle was using the old accounting rules, and there were no new rules. Those wondering what the right thing to do, they came up with the new kind of rules.

Mei Lin asked: What can F4H do for you? What is your hope?

Jacqueline: for me, my future is uncertain - I want to continue to work with Engineers without Borders and California Health Corps - its a trusted space for me to bring in ideas and work on - to know there is a network of people with similar underlying values - its surprisingly difficult to find people who have the same ideals and vision about how to bring into fruition a future

Tammy: Franchise for Humanity - trading post to exchange ideas, build relationships - for the future, i don't quite know... its working very well for me - i don't see it as a business for getting more members involved.. to continue to add speakers - guest speakers and see how that would help each other out - inside and outside of the network

like that it is a closed group.

Denise - I loved how Tammy said "I don't quite see it as a business" - everything we as women do, we have to look at how it counts towards our future - as a single mom, I have spent most of my life taking care of my children, 22, 19 and 11 - my pride and joy - growing up at home - Mary Kay allowed me to have a home-based business... working my whole life- my passion is to help other women to build their dreams whatever those are

in the past 5 years, I have branched out to men as well - I have many male friends - I want to find ways to support women - inequity in pay - in 1963 Women made 71 cents for $1 earned by men

Franchise for Humanity is an opportunity to shine among men - to see my authenticity - I am grateful to be in a select group of co-creators - including men - Dr. Kosnik, Jim Caldwell, Bill Daul, Jonathan Trent, Bill Fenwick (he liked something on my Facebook page!) - without being part of Franchise for Humanity - I would not have been a trusted alliance with such high level of people

We are giving younger people the ability to be on a level playing field - I see myself giving an opportunity to everyone - to pass it on to the next generation

Meli Ln: Thank you to each of you. A new form of mediation ...gratitude meditation taught to be last week by Michael Norwood: To take a moment to say what we are grateful for, and then say, So Be It.

For every second that I have left in my life, I am grateful. Because each second represents an opportunity that is a promise of possibility. I am grateful for how much possibility there is in the rest of my life and i hope i can use it wisely to help others realize the possibilities in their lives.

i am grateful for the friendships of Tammy, Jacqueline and Denise, and I can sense the rising opportunities ahead. Franchise for Humanity is a place to be safe, to share values in this troubled world, and I am grateful for this opprtunity to be with friends once a week.

SO BE IT!
