The great American treasure, Maya Angelou, wrote: "Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible." The manifestations of extreme forms of prejudice being exposed on the national stage in the wake of the tragic and senseless murder of George Floyd, the latest victim in a long history of human rights violations, are reminders of its abhorrent nature. None of us like to think of ourselves as prejudiced, bigoted or racist.

Surviving Multi-Tasking Mania
Many of us feel more humanoid than human. We find ourselves turning from one activity to the next like robots that have misplaced their heads.

When used effectively, stories also inspire and compel us (and others) to change. More leaders today are exploring the ancient art of storytelling as a way to influence people and get the results they desire.
