The Art of Living: Why do two people approach the same activity - call it "work" - so differently? Why does one see productive challenges and opportunities where the other sees a thankless struggle? The difference is in the extent to which they experience the art in their work."The Art of Living" is an introductory seminar designed to help your employees find the art in their work and personal lives. The result will be improved motivation and morale, increased creativity and productivity, self-education, and stress reduction. For more on this subject, read this article of the same title.

The Workplace Warrior: The qualities of the scholar warrior - the Shaolin ideal - have never been in as short supply as they are today. Nor have they ever been as necessary, especially in the world of work. These qualities - among them, discipline, patience, humor, confidence, humility - exist in every person and are waiting to be brought out through training and the cultivation of attention and observation. Come and start on the path of becoming a workplace warrior or begin training your own corporate army.

The Shaolin Master - the Ultimate Multi-tasker: For the Shaolin master, fighting one person is the same as fighting ten. This fact has as much to do with the cultivation of basic principles of art as the mastery of specific fighting techniques. The Shaolin monks did not spend all of their time seated in meditation and practicing kung fu - there was much work to be done in the temples and only the monks to do it. To put it in the language of corporate America, they were the ultimate multi-taskers. By learning the principles and developing the disciplines that make kung fu such an effective fighting art, individuals and teams can become more motivated and productive. Start today.
