• As the Paradigm Shifts:R is for Resistance Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    m experiencing resistance to writing this blog. I feel angry, frustrated and distracted by, well … It’s more that I’m allowing myself to get distracted; that way I can avoid being with what I don’t want to be with.

  • Using The Johari Window in Diversity Training By Dr. Josiah Rich Dr. Josiah Rich         posted in: Diversity
    The Johari Window is named after its inventors Jozeph Luft and Harry Ingham.  It is a model used to describe the process of human interaction.  I was first made aware of it during my training in clinical chaplaincy.  Our supervisor used it in order to help us as chaplain interns understand our interaction with one another and with patients we had to see on a daily basis.

  • Find Something Good To Think About! By Dr. Josiah Rich Dr. Josiah Rich         posted in: Stress-Management
    Not long ago the heart was believed to be merely a muscle that received deoxygenated blood and pumped out oxygenated blood (liquid tissue) through the body. As a pastoral counselor I have many opportunities to talk about the 'heart' in a spiritual capacity.  In fact, the Greek word for 'heart' is kardia.  This word refers to the soul of an individual which is comprised of t...

    Organizations spend a considerable amount of money on mandatory and option employee training. How do they make sure the training stuff is going to stick? The secret is in understanding how our brains create and process memory. Without going into all of the technical neurophysiological details, the essential idea is about emotions.
