Seattle, United States - April 8, 2021 /PressCable/ —
Washington, US: April 8, 2021 – Senior business executive Emily Chang offers an inspirational guide to leadership, social purpose, and intention in her book ‘The Spare Room – Define Your Social Legacy’.
Emily Chang is a seasoned executive who has worked with some of the world’s most renowned companies like Procter & Gamble, Apple, and Starbucks.
Over the last 22 years, her job has brought her and her family to eight different homes across the U.S. and China. And everywhere she’s lived, Emily has found herself at the unique intersection of her Offer and Offense.
Life has served up young people, who having been abused, neglected, or marginalized, finding the sanctuary of her spare room. Among her deeply personal accounts, Emily shares heart-wrenching stories of an emotionally abused child bride, a dying baby boy born with hydrocephalus, and the abused daughter of a local prostitute.
With the sixteen young people she and her family have cared for, Emily has found that living into her Social Legacy has not only deeply enriched her home life, it has also enabled her to become a more authentic and relatable leader in the workplace.
Each time she opened the door to her spare room, Emily found herself in a front-row seat, witnessing one of life’s incredible stories unfold. Integrating work and life, she introduced her spare room kids to colleagues and encourages her team members to invest in their own Social Legacies.
Now more than ever, social purpose has become an urgent leadership imperative. The Spare Room will help you identify your Social Legacy to live a more intentional life and lead with authentic purpose.
The Spare Room helps readers first identify their own Offer – the resource they readily have to hand and uniquely positioned to offer that someone else desperately needs. It then helps articulate a reader’s Offense – a particular injustice that stops them in their tracks and translates into a calling for action.
Between the Offer and the Offense, rests a person’s Social Legacy – the ability to lead and live a more impactful and meaningful authentic life.
“The Spare Room will take readers through a series of thought-provoking exercises to help define their own social legacy. By the last page, they will have identified, unpacked, and written out a personal action plan,” she confidently asserts.
Officially launched April 6, 2021, her book is now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642937622.
