Forgiveness – The Art and Practice for Self and Others
Profound Opportunity for You – Forgiveness Forgiveness doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Decades ago I was in the throes of an emotionally devasting period of my life. I was a devoted husband, father, parishioner, and on the fast track in an aerospace company. I’d put my best forward, commendable, though I certainly wasn’t perfect, and yet everything came crumbling down. It was a tumultuous wake up call for change, whether I liked it or not. I was angry, though not vengeful. I was more disappointed in not being loved or seen as the truly devoted man I was on all levels. I followed all the best practices and prescibed…

It got me to thinking about harmony, things in flow and the notion of accelerated results. It appears we might need them. It dawned on me that, based on current philosophy regarding creating our reality, how it might appear in a conceptual framework like the tesseract. It’s an interesting model in it’s constant ebb and flow from…

What do you want?
Who maintains the aspiration for inspiration in your organization? Of course we want to have the best work atmosphere and the most productive employees and staff, right? Most of the time the progressive companies and organizations use one or many of the plethora of talent and team building tools. Other companies, or rather their leadership and stakeholders, miss out on those advantages and wonder why morale and production are at far less capacity that possible. Happy people get more done with less supervision.
