Peak Makes an Impact

On Friday, August 15, Peak Impact spent the afternoon with the Step into Your Power corporate trainers, Susan Sly, Kim Sauve and PK Smith. This was Peak Impact’s second corporate training day with Step into Your Power in the past three months.

The Peak Impact team was led through a series of individual and team challenges that focused on understanding, support and unity in the workplace.

The pinnacle of this training session was the final challenge during which every single member of the team was put to the test. The Step into Your Power Corporate Trainers oversee and support several sustainability projects in Malawi, Africa through World Vision. This final challenge required the Peak Impact staff to come together as a team to help raise funds for the villages in this poor country.

The team responded with an overwhelming display of passion; in a meager forty-five minutes they had contacted enough clients to raise $10,000! These funds will be used to repair the sole water supply for an elementary school and to drill irrigation wells for another village in desperate need of clean water.

Each member of the group was both astonished and proud when they realized how much they could accomplish.

Peak Impact not only strengthened their team and grew as individuals; they also recognized the needs of others and responded. As a team, they came together and created a better opportunity for these villagers.

A sincere thank you to everyone who donated!
