Frank DeDominicis shared thisHands across the water... Denver students are helping disadvantaged students in Kakuma.Frank DeDominicis shared thisFollowing the USAID funding cutoff, the lives of refugees in Kakuma have experienced severe disruptions. The rationing system categorizes families into four distinct groups: Category 1 receives half rations contingent on family size, Category 2 receives a quarter of the half rations, Category 3 receives a minimal allocation, and Category 4 receives no food assistance. This situation is further exacerbated by clinic closures due to medicine shortages, schools standing vacant without teachers or students, and a resultant surge in illiteracy rates within the refugee camps, culminating in a distressing situation. The place where I grew up has undergone significant transformations. I conducted tours of several locations, including Kalobeyei settlements. As the executive director of ILLALE Hill Organization based in Colorado, US, I reached out to friends and conducted speaking sessions in schools regarding support for scholastic materials to facilitate continued learning at Light Academy Primary School. A few schools engaged with me, and students responded positively after I delivered presentations on the deteriorating learning situation in Kakuma Refugee and Kalobeyei settlements. Notably, students from one school in Denver collectively contributed $2, $4, and $5 to support Light Academy students in acquiring learning materials

Frank DeDominicis reposted thisFrank DeDominicis reposted thisHOW DO YOU LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS? There seems to be no shortage of things pulling at our emotions these days. Social media never sleeps. The news cycle runs 24 hours a day. Economic worries, family concerns, and political differences can easily leave us feeling anxious, frustrated, or emotionally drained. The truth is, none of us escape life’s storms. We all experience periods of joy and periods of hardship. The real test is not whether we have emotions. It’s whether we learn to manage them before they begin managing us. Over the years, I’ve learned that stepping away for a few moments, taking a long walk, talking with someone I trust, and putting things into perspective often helps me find calm again. I also remind myself that not every battle needs to be fought and not every opinion deserves my peace of mind. As the saying goes: “You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” Perhaps one of life’s greatest skills is learning how to protect our inner peace while also protecting the relationships that matter most. HOW DO YOU LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS? ✏️ Thank you for contributing to this collaborative post with your like, comment, or share. #EmotionalIntelligence #InnerPeace #PersonalGrowth #SelfAwareness #Relationships #Resilience #LifeLessons #MentalWellBeing

Emma reminds us that kindness isn't just about being nice—it's about helping others feel welcomed, included, and valued. As you read through this short carousel, consider: When was the last time a small act of kindness changed your day? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Frank DeDominicis liked thisFrank DeDominicis liked this✨ I always say there's a story behind every story. And there certainly is with this one. During a storytelling workshop, we were asked to share a story from the second decade of our lives. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘦 10 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘦 20. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭? I had two stories that stood out from the list I had made. One was an easy one to tell; a success story about a competition I had won. The second was a story I never thought I would share. Even some of my closest friends didn't know about this painful time in my life. When I looked at the list right before it was my turn, I had to decide. I must have been feeling brave that day, because I chose to tell the story of a harder truth. The video (link in comments) records a part of the story. Sharing it was cathartic for me. It released the decades of family shame that I had been carrying — instantly. Keeping a secret like that can weigh more than you know until you put it down. And the catharsis went on. I realized that my dad's transformation from hard-core addict into a caring parent had also transformed me. Is it a coincidence that my life purpose has to do with sharing transformative stories? This story was the reason I do what I do. And I didn't see it until I told the story. It turns out that sharing this kind of depth is more than simple storytelling. I've seen authors get stuck in the middle of their writing, and what often gets them going again is uncovering the gift that is waiting for them in a story they were avoiding. But until I started looking into my own, I couldn't fully grasp how this kind of introspection would impact both my personal perspective and business strategy. Now it's become an essential part of how I work with people. Because seeing their stories in a new way gives them insights about their purpose, priorities, direction, and even the way they make decisions. Some stories do more than help us understand the past. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘥𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵. There is an unseen source of power inside the stories you’ve lived. Once you know how to find it, you cannot look at your life or your impact the same way again.✨ #333Collective #Quest2026 #AHAStories

Adam Walker and I collaborated on his podcast, "Pharma Prescribed Podcast," for a conversation about Performance Intelligence, biological signals, sustainable energy, longevity, and why your body is often telling you what your calendar has been ignoring.

once a month at Holmesburg Prison in N. Philly with an "isolate" to keep them informed about societal trends 'outside.' I was privileged to have served the "Harry Houdini" according to the cops and the press, a flexible, agile young man who, while handcuffed, wormed his way out of a red paddy wagon rear door window, right in the middle of City Hall courtyard complex, downtown at morning rush hour and disappeared into the annals of history..
Along with Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre's influence, this experience piqued my curiosity about research into "normal and deviant" studies and why people do the things they do; my early, primary and primal research.

Denver Womens Correctional Facility Gavel Club
- Present 9 years 1 month
Education
A Toastmasters International personal growth education course, this "Gavel Club" has been powerfully transformational on a character level for some inmates. For others, the sessions' high impact group dynamics sharpens social skills of offenders who anticipate never leaving their high-stress living environment. I feel privileged to serve with DTM Alan Swartz and hope to help male inmates as well.

After researching career coaching methodologies, I identified key differences between traditional career coaching and our EQ Professional Positioning.

Many organizations miss out on crucial funding opportunities by not actively seeking grants. Time constraints within the business world often prevent thorough research into available grants. The solution lies in a tailored database, consolidating all relevant opportunities in one accessible place. This resource is designed for both for-profit and non-profit organizations looking to secure funding. The first five organizations to comment "grants" or send a direct message will receive a customized database. #GrantFunding #Nonprofit #BusinessDevelopment #FundingOpportunities #GrantWriting
