Everyone matters. Every one.
“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.” - Karl Menninger“You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time." - M. Scott Peck

An average of 100 people read my blog daily. I’m honored. Faithful friends, I would like your input. As some of you know, there is a fund set up through the National Christian Foundation to provide scholarships for individuals and nonprofit organizations who could benefit from the Birkman Assessment, consulting or coaching, but who cannot afford the full price. Between the discounts I provide and the scholarship funds, we were able to help dozens of individuals and several nonprofits last year. And, this revenue stream helps the new business both to be true to our calling and to survive.
This is not a solicitation for funds. My friend Darin Carlisle handles that end of things. He asked me for my prayer list, address book and client list and took off running. He believes in what we are trying to do and he is coordinating the support. (If you have any questions about giving, just drop Darin an email to darin_carlisle@hotmail.com.)
But, here is where I need your help. Are you aware of an individual or a nonprofit organization that could benefit from the Birkman Assessment, some consulting or some coaching? Because of your prayers and your support, I believe that you should have the opportunity to help me help others. If you know of a friend or relative who would benefit from the Birkman or some coaching or a nonprofit organization that could use some team-building, please drop me an email (DarthBode@gmail.com) to let me know.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, wisdom, support and friendship!

What a beautiful quote from Karl Menninger! But I must admit the one that stopped me in my tracks was the second, perhaps less poetic one by M. Scott Peck.I believe that whole-heartedly. It calls to my mind the whole argument about driving and talking on the phone. Either folks are doing just that – talking, not listening – or, they aren't really driving. Hmmm.
