5/31/2015

0 Comments

 
One of the last things you're likely to hear in a business meeting is people talking about the spiritual nature of a corporation and how it impacts their bottom line.

My final reflection is on asking a business spiritual questions.

AH-HAH #3: Know the Case for the Status Quo

5/24/2015

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world” (Freire 2000, p. 34).

Growing a military BRAT, I became accustomed to expecting change around every corner, change I had to quickly adapt to in order to survive. This culture of origin landed me an addiction to change, and an obsession with learning. Few things make me more nervous than staying in the status quo for too long.

I'm an idealist. I’ve always dreamed of organizations where employees grew happier and healthier because they go to work, and where communities prospered in an economy of peace. The development of the nation and of the wider community and business is intertwined.
