Could Generosity Be a Key Driver of Your Success?
Ms. Meyers’ authentic, heartfelt presentation centered on the question: “Could generosity be a key driver of your success?” She touched on the workplace standards of time, treasure, and talent and how they’re expressed at work and in the community. She posited that when people give, they receive back—that those companies with individuals on boards, that do pro bono service, and that donate to causes, experience increased access to customers, increased morale at work, and more fun. Doesn’t this sound like success?
When in doubt, take the high road
The Center for Spirit at Work (CSAW) featured Jeff Lanza at its March 9, 2012 meeting at Teva Neurosciences. As an FBI Special Agent for more than 20 years investigating corruption, fraud, cyber-crime, terrorism and organized crime, Mr. Lanza served as chief of internal security for the FBI’s Kansas City region.
Speaking on the topic “Leadership Ethics -- Maintaining Integrity in a New Era of Crime,” Mr. Lanza, delved into the many reasons business people stray from an ethical path and why. He then offered solutions to how business people might prevent loss of integrity from happening.
Satterlee’s Inspiration for Spirit at Work: Believe in People!
The Center for Spirit at Work’s kickoff January 13, 2012 was a refreshing perspective on how spirit at work can flourish. When George Satterlee took the podium, he engaged the audience with his genuine, personable style and practical message that many companies miss the mark on: Believe in People.
Mr. Satterlee, Chief Administrative Officer and leader of Organizational Effectiveness at Missouri Bank in Kansas City, MO, walks and talks the value statement at the bank—“Be the Difference”—applying it to employees at work as well as to people in the community. He challenged the business men and women at the CSAW event to encourage and support their employees and their community as well.
