It is through giving of our time, and our hearts that we are freed of self centered motivation. For years, I worked in the not for profit sector. I was the Membership Director of the Cincinnati Zoo. I was also the Membership Manager of the Dayton Art Institute. I served as a loaned executive from The Dayton Area American Red Cross. In addition I was the Membership Director of the local Public Television Station (years ago before I went into HR/OD). However, when I was paid for my service, I did not feel the joy that I now feel as a volunteer. Frankly, it felt like hard work, and it was. I got tired of it all after a while. Since I transitioned in to HRD/OD/Recruiting, I feel a renewed sense of purpose. I deeply believe in leading through compassionate action. It makes us better people, and it strengthens organization. This is an integral part of my belief system. When I attended the ERE Expo, I was inspired to learn that global companies share my sentiment. Each of us has a gift. Each human being has a unique gift that they, and only they can offer humanity. We are so much bigger than ourselves, yet each of us can give of ourselves, and in so doing make the world a better place. Krista, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. The focus of Compassionate HR is to highlight people in our industry who do incredible things for their community, At the same time, there are many human resource professionals who work for the social service agencies you mentioned. I would like to interview them for my show. Great idea. I truly agree. It is through giving of our time, and our hearts that we are freed of self centered motivation.

Most of us, from front line staff to CEO, could easily be making twice as much elsewhere--or more--but we've chosen to give our lives to service in exchange for the intangible benefits of knowing we are making a difference every day. This is volunteerism of another kind, if you think about it. Thanks for being the voice of compassionate HR!

That means 3 rules: 1; No Presentation 2: No Powerpoint The atendees set the agenda and you provoke the conversation. We run 3 tracks at a time so attendees can dip in as they wish. It's challenging but its a great learning experience for the track leaders. Be an ambassador, Bill margo,
