Starting a Job Search as a Generous Mind

Today starts our job search in earnest. We have spent months praying and processing what God might want us to do after leading GMI. But most of that processing has been among a small group of people that God brought to us during our sabbatical. Today, we get to open that process up generously. So after all of Mindy and my discussions, we have created a web site to allow you to hear from our heart and connect with our passion. On this page there are links to my various social media, an introduction letter, an infographic, his CV, and a Program & Product Inventory. My hope in this job search is that I can be a Generous Mind by sharing what I have learned, how I have grown and the passion I have at the intersection of innovation, ideation and integration. This generosity is not only to get a job. There is more to it than that. We want our journey to instigate, inspire and inform you as you are on your own journey. So whether you have any thoughts about my future career or not,

You are Known by What You Share

Today on Twitter Cathy Day shared "You are what you read." I have heard multiple versions of this quote over the years. Another popular version is "You are what you measure." The main idea behind these quotes is that our actions reveal something very significant about who we are as individuals. As I thought about Cathy's tweet, I decided to write back with this addition, "You are known by what you share."

As I considered this idea, I thought about the fact that we can shape how we are known by what we choose to share. Are we sharing on particular issues? Maybe we have a cause that drives our Generous Mind. Or perhaps we are sharing about family and friends and that is what defines our generosity. Whatever we share, we need to

Generous Minds Learn Together

A key characteristic of a Generous Mind is being a life-long learner. This is because you can't continue to be generous with your ideas unless you are learning new things to begin with. However in your lives today learning is so hard to prioritize. There are a few reasons for that. The first and most obvious is that we are to busy to learn. Another reason is that our culture tells us that we must project a sense of expertise in order to build influence. By always acting the expert we convince ourselves we don't need to learn any more. Finally, we don't learn because we struggle to find the content that will help us. There are many courses and trainings that just aren't the right fit. Well, in our Generous Mind community we are committed to fostering learning in key areas related to sharing ideas. So we will be rolling out a series of courses using the TED-Ed platform over the next few months. Our first course is a very important one on Empathy. We have found that
