Give Back Make A Difference (GBMD ... gbmad.org) is a non-profit organization that enables students and professionals to achieve their full leadership potential by providing high impact workshops, scholarships and mentoring. GBMD differentiates itself from others by being a unifying network inclusive of all, providing insight from successful retirees, and focusing on social biases. The term social
biases differs from discrimination in that social biases are prejudicial beliefs, whereas discrimination refers to conscious prejudicial behavior. Our belief is that social biases will always exist, and therefore, to reach one's full potential, it is to everyone's benefit to address them. The company was founded by Philip Wah, Jr. after retiring from over 30 years of successfully managing small and large profit driven organizations. He is now fulfilling his passion to help others grow and succeed. Having been raised with Asian cultural values, Mr. Wah was fortunate to take leadership training that focused on the importance of social biases in the corporate environment. This was the single most important training that he received throughout his career, and he wants others to have this same opportunity. With a desire to make a positive enduring affect on people’s lives, GBMD’s relationships with individuals extend through most of their life, from high school thru their early years of retirement.
