Colin Heyman (maine-stream.co.uk) showed up as part of a growing cadre of coaches and facilitators who recognize that we all need to contribute to a world based on understanding and community. This is not a political issue, it’s a survival issue. And it’s a business issue. The data are clear that when people feel valued and included in any endeavor, they work not only harder, they work better. It’s time, past time, actually, that we ditched the idea of work. How about endeavor, literally, “do one’s utmost.” We need to create space for people to have an ethical and emotional attachment to what powers their paycheck. The fuel of our contribution is emotion.
My conversation with Colin has only one problem, btw. It was too short.
