The Third Turn

 

Through the many years of developing this Community of Practice, we call Design Group International , I have been a member of the clergy. Because of that, I'm often asked if I expect people to be Christian in order to work with me, especially when speaking with people about my Executive Advising practice.

 

I hear a different question just as often: why reference spirituality at all, especially Christian spirituality? The assumption is that someone might be offended.
