In his wonderful Book of Wisdom, the Dalai Lama speaks of the importance of seeing from a variety of perspectives.
Every event has many aspects and naturally one event can be viewed from many, many different angles….
Seeing events from different angles can be a challenge. Seeing another’s perspective, especially if seemingly different from our own, can be a test. Gaining awareness of our own stories, and perhaps even changing these, may be the leadership challenge of our time!

Whatever you have to say, leave
The roots on, let them
dangle
And the dirt
Just to make clear
Where they come from
Seated in concentric circles and cloaked with white Tibetan scarves of welcome, sixty innovators from the corporate and social sectors joined in dialogue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It was September 2006, and they met in Vancouver, Canada for two days. They intended to explore the issues of the world and how building connections between the two sectors could better serve the needs of humanity.
