What personal capacities are essential in your work?

Started by Dana Pearlman Jul 13, 2011.

Welcome to ALIA Online, a place for connecting with others engaged in "Authentic Leadership in Action." The ALIA Institute began as the Shambhala Summer Institute, which has been convening annually in Nova Scotia, Canada, since 2001. The Institute's programs connect pioneering leaders with each other, and with the perspectives, tools, and practices needed to create the new systems of the future.

This space will evolve over time. We welcome your suggestions, feedback and, above all, your participation!

Spirit Rocks and Sacred People

spirit rocks and sacred people

Sometimes it’s easier it is to see the qualities in a rock than to find anything interesting in another person.  From a distance, most people are easy to admire.  And our inner circle of friends and family can be endlessly fascinating.
