SESSION DESCRIPTION
George Bernard Shaw said, "A master in the art of living knows no sharp distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation . . . They simply pursue their vision of excellence through whatever they are doing and leave others to determine whether they are working or playing." Because we manufacture ourselves through our work, each time we make a choice on the job, we shape our identities, our inner feelings about who we are, our sense of self-worth, and our relationships with others. This program is about discovering the hidden truths about our life, and how we can move from simply surviving our work to mastering the art of living through our work.
