Interview: Dr. Shawne Duperon, Project Forgive
.From an abusive childhood to TV producer with 6 Emmy awards to nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. Shawne Duperon demonstrates the real power of true forgiveness. She was catapulted into fame when she did a short video, The Apology, now used by world leaders internationally. She brings the tools she created in the Apology to her work with corporations like General Motors . It's a 3 step process which challenges you to forgive someone even if they haven't apologized.
In Project Forgive, Dr Shawne, as she likes to be called, focused on teach teachers the tools of forgiveness because they influence so many children many of whom have been abused or are living in less than ideal situations. She did this rather than work with children directly because of the pervading influence of teachers on their students every year. And, it's working! Her insight, clarity, focus, determination, understanding and kindness as seen in this interview demonstrates the world leader in forgiveness that she is.
