I wanted to share some exciting news: my colleague and co-author Michelle Cote was selected from 3000+ applicants to represent The Purpose Project at Women Rule!—a joint initiative of The Oprah Magazine and The White House Project to support 80 women, each with an “idea that could change the world.”

Michelle applied and was selected earlier this year, but we had to wait until now to share the news since O! Magazine was the first to “announce” the women in the October issue of their magazine, which hit newsstands Tuesday.

This is a great achievement for Michelle and a great opportunity for The Purpose Project. In addition to a three-day leadership workshop earlier this year, Michelle will receive ongoing access to mentoring, coaching and a great network of women changemakers. (It also moves us one step closer to getting our book on Oprah’s book club list one day!)

You can check out the short profiles of Michelle and the other women in the online version of O! Magazine here. The Hartford Courant also had a short article in yesterday’s paper, which is available here.

Warmly,
Matthew
