Welcome

Learning is a never-ending journey. I've learned much from my mentors, from the wise sages in my life. I feel it is important to share and pass along some of what I have learned – and continue to learn. I believe we are all responsible for smoothing the path for those who come after us. And I know that we are all connected and here to support one another.

My purpose is to:

  • Improve organizational effectiveness through individual development
  • Improve individual effectiveness through organizational development

This I Believe

As I drive home at night, I almost always listen to National Public Radio's All Things Considered.  One segment of the program is called "This I Believe."  People submit essays on whatever topic they choose and the purpose is to share what they believe with others.  Whenever I hear this segment, I am moved by the passion with which people write and I am impressed with their deep thoughts.  I can't help but start thinking about the essays I might write about the topics I care about the most. 

So last year in my leadership course, I had students write an essay on what they believe about leadership.  Using this format as a template, students could cut to the chase and talk about what they believe.  I think this directness can benefit all of us and help us focus on our values and what is important to us.  It was a good exercise that I will continue in other settings.


Here are a couple of other belief statements from other bloggers:
- Ramblings from a Glass Half Full
- Converstations

What do you believe?
