Nick Anderson will discuss “The Power and Purpose of the Hero’s Journey” at the Rotary Club of Mercer Island’s meeting on Aug. 6 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, 8236 SE 24th St. The main meeting begins at 12:30 p.m. Guests are always welcome and there is no fee to attend. An optional buffet lunch is available for purchase.

Anderson is the CEO of OneAccord, a consulting firm founded in 1999 that has served more than 600 organizations in the U.S. and abroad. He is also founder of Chosen Leader, a brand that supports the growth and development of leaders everywhere.

He notes: “What is the hero’s journey, and why is it the basis for every great story ever told? A compelling story captivates attention, ignites the imagination and inspires action. It is through history that children grow, and cultures sustain. And it is through story that managers learn, and perspective is gained.”
