Truly Significant

Truly Significant: Conversations with Big Hearted People is more than a book-it is a collection of stories from ordinary people who experienced extraordinary transformations. These are not tales of wealth or fame, but of lives changed, hearts opened, and communities uplifted.

  1. Each story reminds us of the incredible power of choice-the choice to live with purpose, to align our actions with values that matter, and to leave a legacy of hope. Kindness, generosity, and philanthropy aren’t just lofty ideals. They’re the tools that build bridges, the sparks that light dark corners, and the actions that transform intentions into impact.
  2. And when you finish this book, reflect on what your story might say. Not about your possessions or accomplishments, but about the lives you have touched and the love you shared. Imagine this: your final check bounces -not because you miscalculated, but because you gave all you had. What remains is not the wealth you accumulated, but the legacy of significance you left behind.

 Define your own Social Legacy, unlock the power to live a more intentional life, and lead with greater purpose and authenticity.

Emily Chang is a seasoned executive who has worked with some of the world’s most renowned companies like Procter & Gamble, Apple, and Starbucks. Over the last twenty-one years, her job has brought her and her family to eight different homes across the U.S and China. And everywhere she’s lived, Emily has found herself at the unique intersection of her Offer and Offense. Life has served up young people who have been abused, neglected or marginalized, to find sanctuary in her spare room. Among her deeply personal accounts, Emily shares heart-wrenching stories of an emotionally abused child bride, a dying eighteen-month old boy born with hydrocephalus, and the abused daughter of a local prostitute. With the sixteen young people she and her family have cared for, Emily has found that living into her Social Legacy has not only deeply enriched her home life, it has also enabled her to become a more authentic and relatable leader in the workplace. Each time she opened the door to her spare room, Emily found herself in a front row seat, witnessing one of life’s incredible stories unfold. Integrating work and life, she introduced her spare room kids to colleagues and encourages her team members to invest in their own Social Legacies. Now more than ever, social purpose has become an urgent leadership imperative. The Spare Room will help you identify your Social Legacy to live a more intentional life and lead with authentic purpose.
