Todays multicultural and interreligious environment brings the world into the workplace. Virtually all spiritual traditions to which co-workers and clients belong correspond to one of three distinct worldviews. Understanding these simple, fundamental perspectives enables you to work more effectively amidst diversity as well as to be a more discerning spiritual seeker. In this fascinating and enlightening presentation you will discover a framework for relating and communicating more effectively with people of cultures, beliefs and spiritual paths different from your own. Learn how the worldviews of co-workers and clients are shaped by the worlds great religions. And especially in this most sacred of seasons, take this opportunity to deepen your appreciation of the holy in our rich, multifaith culture.
