This morning, the Jesuit Dads’ Club completely surprised me when they presented me with an award in recognition to the support that Networking Leads (NL) provided throughout the year. The timing of the award was ideal given the launch of NL’s “May I Give” campaign that focuses on giving others something of value every single day in the month of May.
To me, this award not only enriches my life with real meaning but it also validates everything that I envisioned NL to be when it was still just an idea in my mind. I often think of fishing, when reflecting on my dual career roles as an attorney at Guzman Legal and as the founder of NL. Being an attorney, is like fishing with one line in the water where I get to help one person/organization at a time, whereas with NL, it is like fishing with a large cast net where I get to help many people/organizations all at once.
We created NL knowing that nurturing human connections is the most powerful way to reach hearts and to help others overcome the struggles they face. Every service we offer… Meeting Spaces, Consulting, Coffeehouse, and Networking…is solely designed to help create opportunities for you.
Once again, thank you so much Jesuit Dads’ Club for this tremendous honor. Please know that NL will always be here for Jesuit High School and the Tampa Bay community.
