The Power of Your Nothing

May 29, 2026 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy welcomes back Dr. Barbara “Dr. Barb” Rembiesa, founder and CEO of the International Association of IT Asset Managers (IAITAM), author of more than 50 business books, including her new book My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything. 

Tune in to hear Dr. Barb explain the powerful idea behind her new book—that what feels like “nothing” to you may be life-changing for someone else. Andy and Dr. Barb discuss discovering your unique “generosity signature,” recognizing opportunities to serve others through your time, talents, finances, and relationships. 

You’ll also hear why paying attention to the needs of others may be one of the most valuable skills you can develop. 

Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, parent, retiree, or simply someone looking to make a difference, this encouraging conversation is a reminder that you already possess something valuable to offer the world.
