In this workplace wellness edition of the Cultural Capacity Podcast, Kara Gonzalez-Howard takes a look at our roles in our own career advancement & professional development & growth. She also explores the different responsibilities that come along with choosing a service-based role where we are collaborating with and pouring into others vs. a more static role where we have a job that includes lots of routine & predictable tasks and responsibilities.

Are you more suited for routine or do you thrive in an environment that is ever evolving and forces you to continue to grow in your professional scope of practice? Does being a service practitioner require a lifetime of professional development? Join us as we examine a common workplace conundrum amongst working professionals from all sectors!

In this episode, Kara Gonzalez-Howard reflects on what it means to pursue peace & demonstrate love in times of war & great cultural divide. On a subject that is fraught with very loud and very binary points of view, Kara teaches us about the importance of moving in the world in ways that inspire peace rather than division. Excerpts from this episode are read from the text “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman. We encourage you to explore this text on your own for an immersive learning experience into a time that has deep parallels to our current hour. >>>WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/5jjqUZknF38 ***RESOURCES*** PURCHASE THE BOOK FROM THIS EPISODE: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Disinherited-Howard-Thurman/dp/0807024031/ref=asc_df_0807024031/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532779770075&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16050740442264035938&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016308&hvtargid=pla-1457987438358&psc=1. >>>>> >>>Get your free Energy of Personality Profile with our 5-question reflection quiz: https://bit.ly/energyofpersonality -Download and use your own copy of the "Energy of Personality" celebrity mood board Canva template: https://bit.ly/canvapersonalitytemplate >>>Visit our official website for more resources: www.educatoraide.com #communication #culture #podcast #psychology #workplace #education #crosscultural #culturalempathy #selfawareness #personality #personaldevelopment #professional #professionaldevelopment #popculture #celebrities #mood #culturalawareness --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/educatoraide/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/educatoraide/support
