I believe that what is important today is that we uncover the violence within us and discover that under the violence there is something very beautiful. We must discover the power within us to receive the Holy Spirit. >~ Jean Vanier: Encountering 'the Other' p. 27 Behavior comes out of the body's sensing of reality. And when someone is a "straight-shooter," you can depend that their "sense of things" is aligned from belief to outcome. This is no longer the case--not in leadership, not in fe… Continue

Emily Cragg Our Human-NESS is under seige and attack.

From any discussion of human nature and behavior, one can see that human bodies inherit all sorts of tendencies. Wanting, hungering, thirsting, restlessness, desiring.

Emily Cragg Courage! What takes Courage is to Tell the Truth. What happens.

If we had courage, other peoples' expectations would not be allowed to dominate. But as things are, a few certain people have power to undo us, so we better keep q… Continue

Louise Klein When does marketing show courage — and when does it cross the line?

Our newsletter this week includes a link to the Rafa"el music video that has caused a stir and gone viral on YouTube. The video was designed to promote the connection between India and Israel. Some people think it's bold and creative. Others feel that it has "crossed a line." If you were a senior executive who was asked to justify a video like this, what would you do if challenged by your board of directors or if your good name was besmirched in the news and in cyber-space?

In the aftermath of the terror attack on NW 253, we are braced for far more discomfort and inconvenience than we experience at El Al and far less security. Sigh. Let's also be inspired by the real hero of this story -- Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a form…

Cdr Varghese- I agree with you that you need to start when children are little to develop courage. Children should be given age appropriate challenges and given guidance to help them deal with these situations. Let me give you an example: When our d…
