In This Month's Issue |
Starlink Extra this month includes its usual diversity of links and resources.
And in the immortal words of George Elliott (though for a different context) we hope you ... will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Enjoy!
Cheers
Sue & Chris

Passion, Peace and Positive Progress |
|
Several resources have come our way over the last month that are inspirational or related to making the world a better place.
So we thought we'd group a few of them together here for your interest and enjoyment. :)
First .. about passion that inspires. Some of you may have seen this video of a phone salesman amazing the crowd - but it's well worth seeing again! (Thank you to Gina Hinrichs for the link.)
Secondly, thanks to Stephanie West Allen, we learned of the METTA Center for Nonviolence Education and two University courses on nonviolence. Both are available online at no charge from University of California (Berkeley) Peace and Conflict Studies. The courses are Introduction to Nonviolence and Nonviolence Today
Thirdly, on Gimundo.com read this story about How to Stop a Hurricane, Cow-Free Steak, and Other Amazing Scientific Innovations. Snapshots about how different researchers and innovators are working to make this planet a better, safer or healthier place.
Finally, because this world already has so much in it for which to be thankful, why not join in with others around the globe and do The Gratitude Dance? :) Our thanks to Rich Henry for the link!

Send Us Your Story and Win!
|
From Starlink #68 last month, you may remember the inspirational videos and Chris's Phantom story. We invited readers to send us their stories of an experience of mystery and discovery, or about a 'life's lesson' they'd like to share.
Obviously all our readers are very busy - because we still have the prizes! :)
Be one of the first four people to email us your story, however brief, and you can win a copy of The Wrong Stone (by Russell Deal) or a set of Shadows Cards (previous edition)!

Be informed and entertained, as you learn new and practical strategies that will help you and your staff perform at your very best and achieve the results you want.
