BOLD in the News
Crains NY just published another article on BOLD, this time covering the ongoing NYSE Transitional Training initiative. The full article can be found here. Below is an excerpt from the article:
"At last week's meeting, Mr. DiMaio offered attendees advice on how to create a resume (“Get a Gmail account, and use Google Docs”) and broaden contact networks (“Look beyond the people you hang out with every day”). He urged them to learn new skills and recommended that they read The Purpose Driven Life and Selling to Big Companies (“It gives you skill sets for determining value propositions”).
Above all, he delivered a pep talk and reminded the jacket-and-tie crowd not to overlook higher-level help.
“God wants us to have a good job,” Mr. DiMaio said. “You may think you work for a company, but someone else is signing your checks.”
Anthony DiMaio recently sat down for an interview with Crains NY on Marketplace Ministry and it's impact on people's lives. The full article can be found here. Below is an excerpt from the article:
"BOLD's weekly prayer meetings, held at financial district and midtown locations, have grown to between 15 and 20 regulars per group from four or five a year ago.
"People are looking for more significance and security," says Anthony DiMaio, a BOLD services coordinator who is organizing an outreach program for traders on the New York Stock Exchange.
Wall Street money manager and BOLD member Vaughn Weimer says he needs his dose of prayer the way most of us need that first cup of morning coffee. Having religion in his daily life keeps him from getting worked up when, for example, phone calls aren't returned.
"When you step into a worldview that has no time limit, it gives you a helpful perspective on temporal issues," Mr. Weimer says"
BOLD recently received a favorable mention in the NY Post. The article can be found here
