Chris Cordwell

Construction professional and mindset contributor

Chris Cordwell contributes to Course Correct with a chapter on giving and receiving. His published biography describes an early fascination with practical things, including taking objects apart, which developed into an interest in building and construction. At the time of the book, he described himself as semi-retired and increasingly focused on personal development.

Chris's chapter explores generosity through both time and money. He discusses the tradition of tithing and the Christian idea of considering people whose needs may be greater than one's own. These beliefs provide the background to his interest in how giving changes a person's attention and priorities.

The contribution also uses stories to illustrate small acts of kindness. Chris encourages readers to consider local needs, think carefully about organizations they support and recognize that a contribution does not have to be large to matter to someone else.

His broader interest is the relationship between familiar ways of thinking and everyday choices. Within the compilation, Chris connects that concern with a practical question: how can a person make room to help others with the resources, time and opportunities already available?
