When You Listen To A Child

And when you believe your voice holds value ... well, let's just say, that belief can make a life changing difference.

- Rachel Macy Stafford -

When You Listen To A Child

"Having a parent that listens creates a child who believes he or she has a voice that matters in this world," says Rachel Macy Stafford, a young mother who, in this digital age, has made the life changing decision to go completely 'hands free'. She did so to ensure her children always knew, that their voice in this world matters. "Because," she continues, "someday our children will find themselves in a difficult situation and they'll have a choice -- either to suffer in silence or speak up. And perhaps that is the moment they will remember your eyes, the nodding of your head, your thoughtful response. And suddenly they will be reminded that their voice holds value." Read more about the "Hands Free" movement -- and how it has the potential to be transformative. { read more }

Why Compassion in Business Makes Sense

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

- Dalai Lama -

Why Compassion in Business Makes Sense

Managers often think that putting pressure on employees will increase performance. However, recent research shows that when organizations promote an ethic of compassion rather than a culture of stress, they may not only see a happier workplace but also an improved bottom line. Dr. Emma Seppala, the associate director of Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research, explores how managers can promote a compassionate workplace and why it is of great value to their organizations. { read more }

Be The Change

Think of a situation in which you normally use pressure to reach another person. Experiment with using compassion instead.

A Tea Shop Making A Difference

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

- Winston Churchill -

A Tea Shop Making A Difference

Sometimes the issues ailing our world seem so huge, and our ability to resolve them so small. The story of Katrell Christie, however, and her ability to react with a sincere generosity in the face of a seemingly challenging social issue, gives hope and inspiration. After listening to the story of three orphaned girls on a trip to India, she promised to return and help -- and though she did not know how in the beginning, she was able to put her head, heart and hands together in service: using profits from her Atlanta tea shop to finance their college educations. { read more }

Artship in America

In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

Artship in America

Slobodan Dan Paich's bold vision as an artist has taken him across many different countries, peoples, and cultures. Through a series of improbable events that led him to become a child radio and film star in his native Yugoslavia, Slobodan has had an unusual life. In this interview at his very small apartment in San Francisco, Slobodan describes his fascinating journey from architectural experimenting in the subterranean caves of the Byzantine monks in Italy, to teaching at an American university in London, to founding the ARTSHIP Foundation in California. A community builder wherever he is planted, Slobodan delves into being "totally responsible" to the people and the projects that bring them together. { read more }
