MINNEAPOLIS, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the COVID-19 crisis has spread across the country, it has disrupted every aspect of American life.

Now, combined with a heightened awareness of the injustice African Americans have suffered during 400 years of racial discrimination following George Floyd's death and the ensuing protests, we are in the grips of two pandemics that have become inextricably intertwined.

"How we fare through the COVID-19 and racial injustice pandemics remains to be seen. Yet, every storm has a silver lining. In the midst of these two crises are people – everyday heroes – who are leading with hope and purpose, making a positive impact in the world," says Chuck Bolton, CEO executive coach and six-time bestselling author of the new international bestselling book, 19 Fighting COVID-19: Unsung Heroes Creating an Impact During the Pandemic and Unrest, released on June 29, 2020.

Bolton continues, "The definition of impact is "having a strong effect on someone or something. On April 6, I launched Reinvent Your Impact: Unleashing Purpose, Passion and Productivity. That book shows you how to discover your purpose, how to ignite your passions and how to produce massively, so you can create an impact. To say much has changed during those 83 days would be an understatement."

Bolton adds, "For the last three months, I've identified nineteen people in Minnesota who operate with purpose and make an impact."

The stories of these unsung heroes are shared in this new book. In these pages, you will:

Meet an ICU nurse who cares for the sickest COVID patients and hear her moving story.
Learn how the school bus manager leads her district's effort to keep the students fed.

During this perilous time, we all seek inspiration from people who capture our hearts and minds, who show us the path through the storm. Their stories will fill you with optimism, hope and inspiration. In today's volatile and uncertain world, if ever there was a time for a book about people who are making an impact, now is the time.
