HAPPY HALLOWEEN - HAPPY HALLOWEEN - HAPPY HALLOWEEN |
|
2020 has been scary, to say the least, yet our faith in working collaboratively has not ceased.
Though it’s still required that we remain physically distant,
the wish for social connection, WORK_SPACE does grant.
On Halloween it’s tradition to wear masks as a disguise, now we wear them daily because we are thoughtful and wise.
So much of what is happening in the world seems so wrong,
however our staff and membership remain optimistic and strong.
We hope your holiday season, like your health is great,
And that you find many reasons to celebrate.

BLOG: ENTREPRENEUR'S ALPHABET |
|
The Entrepreneurs Alphabet of Values is intended to a) provide the writer (aka: me), a basic template and structure for my blog and b) the reader (aka: you) an opportunity to reflect on various values and how they show up in your personal and professional lives. I thought it was appropriate for you to understand that since this particular blog is about the value of Understanding.
There are multiple levels of UNDERSTANDING:
- The concrete cognitive act of knowing something as a fact or inevitability,
- The less tangible notion of perception, discernment or instinct, and
- The more emotional context of having appreciation of, or empathy for something.
Numbers 2 and 3 have always been based on personal experience and interpretation but in these complicated and confusing times, it seems that Number 1 is now is being based more and more on subjective perception and idiosyncratic bias. (Read more....)
