Hi, I’m Joanna Blanding.
I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE TAKING THIS JOURNEY TOWARDS LIFE-TRANSFORMING GENEROSITY!

Praises for The Giving Back Guidebook
|
"As a professional for close to 18 years now, I have seen my industry and those adjacent to it evolve into having organizations within it integrate corporate social responsibility into its objectives and advocacies. Yet, what is deemed insufficient is the introspection that an individual needs to come into terms to understand why he/she wants to give and what its significance is to him/her. The Giving Back Guidebook starts off with that making it a voluntary in every way possible. Once you find the WHY, you are led to understand the HOW which is approached creatively in this book. One will not realize right away that there are various tangibles and intangibles that one can offer. I encourage you - whether you are starting as young professional or you are more than halfway through already into your career path - to invest time in exploring "the road to life-transforming generosity."

" The book uses various stories to transfer the key messages to the reader and give us a follow-up on why, what, and how to give back in the community. Giving back to the community can take a variety of forms (donations, volunteering, offering your skill, and so on). Depending on your skillset and the unique nature of your community, you will find many opportunities to help those around you. It gives me some new ideas after reading this book."

"Thoughtfully written book on the why, what, and how of giving back (especially the how!) This is a thoughtful and holistic book on giving back. There are plenty of practical tips written with the busy professional in mind and also bears in mind the other compartments of the reader's life. I wish I had known some of these tips 10 years ago! For people of the Christian faith, this book helps reconcile your faith and your motivations for giving. But even if you're not a person of faith, this book still is packed with useful tips. Highly recommended!"

"Nice inspiring story that sends an important message of giving back. I like the author's personal story and her inspiration to get more people to give back. She also provides step-by-step guidance on how to contribute to the community. Thanks for writing this book to remind us the importance of giving back and not just focusing on earning money."

"A unique book with powerful content! Giving back is something that we as a society always fail to talk about. Naturally, we are usually at the receiving end, always taking and taking. This book is unique as it really discusses about giving back and it is what other books rarely talk about. Chapter 6 lays out the 8 methods that we should do and they really are doable! Also, what I love about this book is the fact that it has a summary after every chapter. On top of that, it also provides questions for us to think back and also make us understand better before going to the next chapter. This really helps!"

"This gives me new perspective on giving back. I like this quote in Chapter 3: 'We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give -- Winston Churchill.' This quote best summarizes what this book by Joanna is really about. It gives a refreshing take on what the purpose in life is and how we can transform not only the life of the receiver but also that of a giver. I enjoyed the various stories that highlights the key messages in each of the 6 chapters in this book. It is relatable and I am able to identify in some of those cases. I like the 8 steps shared in Chapter 6 the most. It gives a practical 8-step roadmap to starting this journey of giving back. For example, step 4 and 5 gives tips of how to choose the group that you want to support and how to validate that it is a valid organisation. All in, this book inspires and bring warmth. I enjoyed reading it."

What is more is that this books give us an action plan to follow—on why, what and how to do charitable deeds for the community. It was really a fun and enjoyable read that teaches us how to have a balance in our life."

"A relevant guide to transformational giving! Most people have the desire to do good and give back to the world, but most tend to fall short on where to start. One key takeaway revealed throughout the wonderful insights shared in this book is how good intentions aren't always enough to truly make an impact. This book pushed me to confront my own misconceptions about what real generosity looks like and to analyze whether my methods of contribution thus far are really making the impact I hope it does. The final chapter is the winner, as it is a practical dictionary of tools and information that'll help me to in my giving journey. If you're someone who's always wanted to give back in a meaningful and lasting way, this book is your easy to follow guide!"

"Personal, thoughtful and impactful.
There’s a saying “A journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step” If you are looking to make sustainable giving as part of your lifestyle, let this book be your launching pad. I enjoyed this book because it’s crafted from the author's' personal experiences. Something that everybody can relate to. The book helped me understand that everybody has an innate desire to give back, and you can grow that desire to impact your community in a very efficient way. By following the practical guide, the author helps you navigate away from bumps and heartaches that may result from unproductive giving efforts… something that a lot of people have experienced today. This book is definitely a must read and do! Love it." — ERIC TEE |
