Speakers at this conference were, Dr. Christa Metzger, Mr. Bill Herren, Mr. Gary Hickman, Mr. Yoshito Yamaguchi, Dr. Joan Marques, Dr. Satinder Dhiman, and Dr. Richard King. A brief summary of the various presentations will be presented, after which the findings of a post-conference survey will be shared, along with some future plans of the BRI. Introduction On January 27, 2007, the Business Renaissance Institute organized its first annual conference at the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica, California. This successful event, which was co-sponsored by the World Business Academy, carried the theme, Transform Your Workplace: Do Well By Doing Good. The participants to this conference varied from corporate employees, academicians, and students, to artists, philanthropists, and small- midsize and large business entrepreneurs. The program was arranged in such a way that various aspects of spiritual behavior in work settings would be highlighted. This article provides a concise overview of the various presentations in the BRI conference, the general post-conference comments from participants, and some of the future plans of the Business Renaissance Institute. Doing Well By Doing Good Balancing Leadership and Personal Growth Dr. Christa Metzger, professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at California State University Northridge, reviewed an important issue within the perspective: The personal aspect. Dr. Metzger provided interesting results from various studies, which she executed amongst school district superintendents, administrators, and school principals. The findings of these studies could easily be generalized to all workplaces, as they denote familiar problems for working people, and recurring reasons why workers get stressed and burned out. The main problem that many working people struggle with is, according to Dr. Metzger, finding a balance between one's personal and professional goals, and therefore, between one's personal and professional life. Dr. Metzger stressed that personal growth is key to the attainment of gratification and the prevention of enduring stress. She presented a series of well-received suggestions in this regard, such as, 1) Taking care of yourself as well as you do others, 2) Defining and applying your own themes of personal growth, 3) Nourishing your spirit, finding time for solitude and meditation, and cultivating relationships, and 4) Fulfilling your purpose as a leader and finding meaning as a person. In light of well by doing good Dr. Metzger found that, by learning to take care of yourself, you not only enhance your own work and life, you also enhance the lives of people you encounter on a daily basis. The Power of a Changed Life Bill Herren, founder and CEO of American Vision Windows, shared a very touching story with the audience: The story of his own transformation, from an athletic young man to an alcoholic homeless, and subsequently from a man in search of meaning, to a man who found meaning. Bill's story was moving, because it was filled with hope. It showed the audience that every transformation starts with the will to transform. Bill told the comical story of a goose tapping him on the head during one of his homeless sleeping days in the park. Although being chased by a wild goose was not as funny to Bill at that time as it sounds today, it forced him to rethink his life, and brought him to the decision of changing. He realized that he was on a down slide, consisting of halfway houses, 12-step programs, Salvation Army visits, and other such programs, and that he needed to do something radically to clear his act. Bill's turnaround came through the bible. …" @default.
