Discovering Soul In The Workplace with David Whyte

MP3 Download "The soul would much rather fail at its own life than succeed at someone else's," notes poet David Whyte. "So far, much of corporate America has been about succeeding at other people's lives." Determined to change this situation, Whyte has been working with organizations to help them foster creativity in their employees, for the simple reason that they will not survive without it. It is clearly to the benefit of employers to release oppressive hierarchical models in favor of "another, new kind of loyalty which has to do with a primary, first-hand engagement with life." Drawing upon his deep understanding of the needs of the human soul, Whyte shows us what the next steps will be, and how passion and freedom can be operative concepts in the business world. "We have to take the part of us which does not belong to the work into the work," he says. "That's the only way we're going to be able to live now."
