Equip
e·quip--verb, to furnish with intellectual or emotional resources; prepare; to provide whatever is needed
Without proper tools, the world might never have known about Michaelangelo, Julia Child, the Wright brothers or Thomas Edison. Carpenters, artists, inventors, chefs and seamstresses all skillfully wield the tools of their trade to produce stunning results and impact the world around them. The right tool in the right hands makes all the difference.
Well, we just happen to know a whole community of WM leaders who wield their tools with skill, and many of them have shared the best of what works for them so we can share them with you. So dig in, pick up a tool and go change the world!
