Give an Hour

A Perspective on Leadership

Abstract

Every once in a while, you come across a leader who stands out. It's hard to describe what sets them apart. I think it is more like a "gut feeling." You just know it when you see it. They have the ability to connect with people in a way that transcends the intellectual and rational. They inspire us, and we are driven to follow them. I recently had the opportunity of interviewing Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen the founder of Give an Hour, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. After the first few minutes of talking with Dr. Van Dahlen, I immediately started getting that "gut feeling." Her energy, passion, and dedication towards the mission of Give an Hour was contagious. Learning about her story, how she tackles leadership, and her organization's vision for the future was compelling and insightful.
