Dear Friends and Collaborators, Warm wishes of a beautiful Autumn from team IMPACT! And we are extending special wishes to all our families celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

Having personally attended and participated at this annual gathering for 10 years now as Chief UN Representative of the Foundation for the Support of the United Nations, I chuckled when US Secretary of State John Kerry at one of the meetings he spoke at, described the annual UN gathering as "diplomatic speed dating at its best'. Indeed, it is! Not to mention the traffic headaches, super high security measures with no exception, and black SUVs as many as you want! (or don't).

"  Dear Friends and Collaborators, I hope this special issue of The IMPACT CEO Journal finds each of you well. As leaders and challengers of the status quo -- most of us are naturally drawn to certain reads and topics that feed our insatiable appetite for raw, brave expressions and call to actions for CHANGE. And many times we read something we feel so strongly about that we decide we must connect with the person behind that powerful message no matter what. Well, this is my experience last night with -- you guess-- the author and dad I quoted above -- Sam Polk.
