"If
you separate business from what is personally meaningful,
scary and
unethical things happen…”

Generosity
and Gratitude are about Listening
The answer to dreaded political discussions around the holiday table is
not about making your point.
It’s
about asking and listening.
Two
weeks ago, Creating the Future hosted an online conversation after
the U.S. election. The consensus: Moving beyond “us and them” is
all about listening with compassion. Read

To
shift the conversation at your holiday table, try asking…
- What
are you grateful for about our country? About other
countries in the world?
- What
do you love about the community you live in?
- What
is awesome in your life these days? What is making you
happy?
The
vicious 2016 U.S. election was the height of what happens when we
stop listening to each other. This holiday season, we all have the
opportunity to listen for common ground in what our family members
really want for their lives.
As
always, please tell us what you find!

How
Generosity & Gratitude can Strengthen Your Work
When
it comes to building your company or organization’s work upon
a platform of generosity and gratitude, business owner Rhonda Lorch
has one question: “Why wouldn’t I?”
Listen
to the interview here…
To
begin experimenting with generosity and gratitude right now, try
asking…
- What
would it look like if my organization’s work was rooted in
generosity and gratitude?
- What
would be different about how I work with coworkers? How
might we treat customers & clients?
- Do
generosity and gratitude fit with my company’s values? If
so, what do we do to walk that talk? If there is no fit, what could
be possible if that were realigned?
- Think
about how your organization handles complaints. If the
person complaining were your mother or your child, is that the way
you would want them to be treated?
Generosity
and gratitude are not about one-off acts like thank you notes or
donating once a year. At the core, they are about the values you
uphold every day, and the benefits of aligning your walk and your
talk. Read

NEW!
This is just one of
the inspiring
posters that
supports Creating
the Future's
programs. What will
this poster make
possible for YOU? Get
inspired here.

Creating
the
Future
is a
collection of
people around
the world,
supporting
each other in
a grand
experiment.
|
|
|
|
|
The
experiment:
To
determine how
much better
the world
could be if
the questions
we ask in our
day to day
lives are
bringing out
the best in
each other.
If
everyone,
everywhere, is
bringing out
the best in
every person
they encounter
– and if the
systems that
guide our
behaviors are
built to bring
out the best
in all of us -
how much
closer will we
all be to a
healthy,
humane world
that works for
all of us?
