Why was Make Your Mark on the World Created?
Marion’s Story
How did I become so obsessed with leadership development and having social impact? On November 4, 1996 on my way home from a MBA class, I was involved in a near-fatal car accident with significant internal injuries. I spent 10 days in the hospital, which included 5 days in the ICU. I was told by the physicians that it would take 7 months to physically recover. However, they didn’t know me. I was 25 and had been career-obsessed since my first job in college. I had just started a new job at a prestigious university hospital. Had a glamorous title, was managing a staff of 5 and was making great money. So, I was hell-bent on getting back to work. Well, I managed to convince the doctors that I was ready to go back after 5 weeks. On my first day back at the job, I was called over to my boss’ office to be told that I was being let go. He cited personality differences and performance issues. In a way, I had this immense sense of relief since I realized that I had been deluding myself. I hadn’t been happy in the position that I had held for 7 weeks. The workplace felt sterile. My boss was a micro-manager. I felt caged with a staff that didn’t get along. You would think then that I would say that everything happens for a purpose, take the time to heal physically as I should have and finally count my blessings after having survived and being given a second chance. Well, I didn’t. I was angry. I felt devastated since my passion in life, i.e. my career, had been taken away from me. I did take 7 months to recuperate physically and ended up getting a temp job upon return to the workplace that paid 50% less than my job prior to the accident. This fueled my anger even further. The good thing from this anger is that it had me really delve into my own spirituality and personal development.
After two years, I started to made headway in my career again with my salary level increasing back to what it had been pre-accident. However, there was something that continued to gnaw at me as I moved up the career ladder. At one point, I actually went back again in my career to a lower-level, lower-salaried position with a new company because I had become so miserable in my job that I had to just escape. I was also still heavily in my spiritual and personal development seeking mode. Finally, as I moved up the ladder again with this new organization, I tapped into what had been missing for me as I served as a corporate leader – social activism – an outlet for my need to have an impact in this world. My drive for career growth and personal development was all related to my wanting to make a mark in this world. When I was able to integrate this passion into my job, I felt fueled and elated. I also realized that I wasn’t alone. There were other corporate leaders who had that same sense of dissatisfaction with their career and were looking for more. Combining business savvy with philanthropy was the solution. And that’s what set me on my mission to bring Chamberlain Leadership to the world.

We want to make sure that the retreat allows for all to engage in the conversation and help them walk away with strategies to implement – and – “not get lost in the crowd”. The total cost for this 2-month virtual retreat program is $295 per participant.
