Making A Difference By Setting An Example

I actually think that the most efficacious way of making a difference is to lead by example, and doing random acts of kindness is setting a very good example of how to behave in the world.

--Misha Collins



Every other Tuesday, womenatliberty.com  presents Leadership Tuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. In this final segment of a four part series, Nona Ogunsula (Founder of womenatliberty.com/FOR THIS CAUSE, Inc.) and Michelle D. Freeman conclude their leadership conversation by discussing what characteristics are important to her when she looks to hire employees or to seek business partners. Ms. Freeman also talks about why Covenant House of Washington, D.C.'s Executive Sleep Out Charity Event is close to her heart and why she chose to sleep outside on a cold November night in solidarity with homeless teens.

Ms. Freeman is the CEO of the Carl M. Freeman Companies, a real-estate development company headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. She is also a minority partner in Monumental Sports and Entertainment which owns the WNBA Mystics, NBA Wizards and NHL Capitals as well as the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. She sits on the Board of Directors of several Washington, D.C. area non-profit organizations. Most important to her, Michelle is the proud mother of three children.
