outnumber our differences, it is through those differences that

we can expand our consciousness and celebrate our common

humanity.

everything in your experience, organizations create their

experiences as well, positive and negative.

and creates the positive results that he seeks.

entrepreneurial spirit, moving him forward in bothhis professional and personal success. By inviting us

to do the same, we also increase our personal

experience of the positive human energies of

wisdom, power, and passion.
