Thanks, Michael. I work primarily with volunteers, which makes my personal connection with them as people even more important then in a paid workplace. You have helped refresh my commitment to seeing them as people, not objects getting things done.

Seeing people as heroes on their own journey can help. Dr. Joseph Campbell's work on Hero's Journey. Dr. Maria Nemeth who I studied Coaching with says that viewing people as heroes on their own path... as greater than their thoughts, feeling, and conclusions...as people with their own answers and committed to their own lives and goals. That is the magic of seeing them through the green lens. And that helps a lot with I/thou! Good one Michael.

Good Stuff.
