Wisdom At Work Luncheon, Friday, March 26, 2010
Presenter: Tova JohnPress
Topic: Using "The Four Questions" of Byron Katie to Enhance Your Experience at Work
The Work is a simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry created by Byron Katie, speaker and bestselling author of Loving What Is. It consists of four questions and “turnaround” statements designed to question any thought that disturbs your peace, inhibits your creativity and causes you to suffer. The Work is used by leading-edge business leaders, mental health practitioners, coaches, educators, and by millions of people worldwide as a way to move from confusion to clarity. Through inquiry, people who have spent years combating stress, fear and anxiety discover a profound shift in consciousness, a deep sense of peace and the ability to approach problems with a clear mind.
In today’s presentation we look at The Work as it applies to the thoughts, beliefs and judgments we hold about others that cause us to feel distressed and dissatisfied at work. The Work provides us with a concrete method that, when applied, helps us resolve our feelings of frustration, isolation and overwhelm. For example, through the process of inquiry we begin to question, “Who is truly responsible for the frustration I feel at work?” In the old paradigm we look “out there” to something or someone that needs to change, and it is rarely “us”. In the new paradigm we begin to notice, “I am the problem and if something needs to change, it may be me.” Read More

Nogie King, Executive Director
Mutally Fulfilling
Perhaps everyone spends a lot of time contemplating the meaning of life and how it is all “supposed to” work, but it seems that lately that is all I notice. This past month we lost our dear friend Sue Cullen from the physical world. But in her passing, I noticed the incredible outpouring of love that came over all of us that got together to celebrate and remember her life. I also spent probably too much time watching the Olympics. But one thing I loved about the personal stories that accompanied the athletics is the incredible inner challenges that come with the amazing outer results. Lately, I have been noticing how important it is to be in both the materialistic world of physicality (such as doing logistics for a WAW luncheon and workshop in the same week) AND the spiritual world of deeper truth (making sure the events and the experience are meaningful and touch our hearts) at the same time.
It is this dance of living in a physical world with a legitimate need for a way to create money (work) and also being on a spiritual path with the deep longing to be purposeful and meaningful (wisdom) that continues to fascinate me. It seems that humanity has evolved to a place where the integration of these two aspects of our existence can finally be mutually fulfilling. Even though I know that we all still have moments of anxiety about the economy or feel stress about relationships in our lives, we do also have the resources and cultural support now to approach these “issues” from the viewpoint of its value to our spiritual path.
