Greetings!
Here
are two articles for you during these bright summer days. One about the
dreams of possibility and who you can be, and the other about the
nightmares of inaction and failing to do right in the moment.
You can't build a bridge without knowing how it might fall. You can't build your life without first understanding yourself.
Warmest regards,
Chris

U Venture : You are not your job title
Hundreds
of years ago odds were good that if your last name was Smith, you were
a blacksmith as was your father and his father before him.
Fast
forward to today where the pace of technological and social change is
so rapid that you can count on multiple careers within your lifetime
let alone continuing your parent's career. Jobs will always be subject
to change now. Thus taking the reins of your career and preparing for change is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity!
How well are you developing your career creation ability?
Read on for some provocative ideas to explore your life job...

Human Venture : Deadly Daydreams
Have
you ever driven down a highway in a hurry to get to a meeting, see a
person in need on the side of the road, and think, "someone else will
be able to help"? Or how do you respond when you hear two people
swearing or shouting at each other? I know I sometimes turn away or
ignore it. A part of me whispers, "I don't want to get involved."
Then
I remember the New York times story of Kitty Genovese who was stabbed
over a half-hour period near an apartment where many of the people who
heard the screams didn't call the police simply because they didn't
want to get involved.
Were they / we apathetic, cruel, evil people? Not any more so than others.
Read on about hiking, self-defense, NASA, and you...

The Real Future of Leadership
"Future leaders in all spheres will have to contend
with an environment that is complex in many dimensions - a world with finite limits, no easy
answers, and the sobering
realization that we are facing significant, seemingly intractable
problems on multiple fronts."
- Tammy Erickson on Leadership Needed in the US
