We were lucky to catch up with Charlie Michael Baker recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Charlie Michael , you’ve got such an interesting story, but before we jump into that, let’s first talk about a topic near and dear to us – generosity. We think success, happiness and wellbeing depends on authentic generosity and empathy and so we’d love to hear about how you become such a generous person – where do you think your generosity comes from?
I had always been bought up that way. My whole family raised me to always give back. Never did I think I’d be donating so much money to charity, but here we are. I love how many people I’ve helped.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
My name is Charlie Michael Baker and you’ve probably seen my face from my book, Charlie Baker: Autism And Me.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I don’t have three, I have one I always go by.. no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do something, if you truly believe in what you’re doing, you’ll get there!!
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
Christine McGuinness is the one person that pushed me to write my book. I owe literally my whole career to her. She’s amazing! I love her to bits!
