• As the Paradigm Shifts: U is for Ubiquitous and Universality Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    I love the word ubiquitous. It’s got big energy. It has a quality of being that is bigger than, more expansive and universal in nature. It means everywhere, ever present, all pervading omnipresent, universal. So yes, this does describe that aspect of spirituality in business that I’m wanting to capture – that quality of presence that is always and everywhere: It’s pervasive in grace and...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: S is for Sacrifice Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    I grew up in Michigan in a large Catholic Family in the 50’s and 60’s. I was taught that sacrifice was the price you paid to get into heaven. In service to this I let go of my wants, needs, thoughts and feelings. What I was left with when I hit my 30’s was pretty much an empty shell of a being and became, to some extent robotic – exclusively looking outside myself for commands for me to...
  • 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. You might be asking – as I would, if I were you, why I’m resisting writing if I’m in the business of writing . Even though I enjoy writing, it’s c...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: Q is for Question Reality Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    I read on the back of a car many years ago a bumper sticker that read “Question Reality!” Up until that time my life had been a mish mash of confusing circumstances, and it was a revelatory experience to take these two words deeply into my soul. I breathed deeply and felt as though I’d been given a sign that there was light at the end of the tunnel. At this same time, the contex...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: P is for Power Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    In my first book, Self-Empowerment 101, I devote the first chapter solely to the subject of power. The reason is that through power and the energy that generates power, every event since the Big Bang is a result of that power. Regardless of how power is used – whether in alignment with ...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: O is for Obligation Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    One evening as I was laying in bed, preparing for a restful night of slumber, a voice from inside my head said: “I want to live my own life?” I was shocked with this outburst as I am one of the most independent individuals I know; I live a thousand miles away from my husband, on a secluded island off the coast of Washington; I work independently and live happily in my very solitar...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: N is for Noticing Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    Noticing is the most powerful tool for cultivating awareness and for bringing valuable spiritual concepts to the workplace. Most importantly though, is having the intention to notice, in order to notice whether you are noticing or not. Notice, for a moment, what is occurring within your work environment. Notice the lighting, the sounds, the smells and what the space looks like to you....
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: M is for Money and Mindfulness Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    Money Money is very much a spiritual issue. Some think that the pursuit of wealth couldn’t possibly be a path to enlightenment or spiritual serenity. We never know what our path will look like, what’s in store for us, or where our greatest learning opportunities will lay, awaiting our arrival so they can ambush us when we least expect it. It’s not money pe...
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: L is for Loneliness Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    You probably thought that since we are talking about spirituality in business that love would be the L word for this week. No. Everything we’ve discussed and much of what we will be discussing engages and exercises the muscles of love. No need to go there today. Though we spend hours with our cohorts, colleagues, team members, rarely do we engage in such a way that we feel hear...
  • As The Paradigm Shifts #B: Breakdowns, Breakthroughs. . . . Dr. Rosie Kuhn         posted in: Spirituality in Business
    Business, as a context, can look and act as if it could be at the furthest possible reach from spirituality. When I began exploring a career in business coaching I was initially turned off by all of the thoughts, interpretations and judgments I’d been carrying regarding business. Eventually I realized that what’s true about business is based on one’s interpretation – Business is in the ...
