“…He [God] set eternity into man’s heart…” [Ecc 3:11] How does that truth manifest itself daily in your life? Verla Gillmor Wallace asks some challenging questions that we all should ponder as she thoughtfully explores life purpose, meaning and the path to greater fulfilment in life and career.
Verla Gillmor Wallace
In my youth, I thought success related to position, power, prestige and wealth. Since accepting Jesus in 1976, the Bible has reshaped my views. As I began to apply the Bible’s teaching on success, my worldly perspectives faded away. Today, I have enjoyed far more worldly success than I deserve. I can’t credit myself—my success is based on what God values more than the values of this world. In this white paper, we will review a Biblical framework for true success and consider creating a written framework of your own.

Mr. Holland had a vision to write a symphony that would be enjoyed and appreciated by the public, serving as his legacy. Longing to become a composer, he labored for years playing bar mitzvahs & weddings to provide for his less than perfect family and fund his passion. Necessity led him to become a band director. This scene captures a moment when despair could have closed out the last life’s chapter. However; he came to realize that his life’s greatest work was not music, nor public acclaim. His life’s ultimate accomplishment was the emboldened and enriched lives–of students, teachers, administrators, public figures and his own wife and deaf son. The character is fictional; but his life experience parallels many FCCI members. Like many, his vision was never fulfilled until he was surrounded by a crowd of people in whom he had invested decades of his life. He helped them realize their own potential–and they closed the loop by serving as witnesses and participants in the first public performance, where the refreshed composer took the conductor’s baton…

God connects some of His richest blessings to principles that allow us to access the Abundant Life. Since Jesus set the bar so high, we live in the space between those principles and our practices. This fact should remind us daily that our need for a Savior, not transactional; but ongoing and absolutely [lovingly] relational. What if we could close that gap—by God’s Grace???

Kristen Hadeed founded a company that employs 600+ However, many of her most powerful lessons were learned when 45 of her first 60 employees walked off the job. The invaluable counsel of the remaining employees and the values instilled by her parents led her to a point of total transparency and redeemed an impossible challenge. In that darkest moment she was the laughing stock of her employee critics; but she failed forward to become a dynamic and inspiring leader. She came to personify servant leadership in the season that followed.

During more than thirty years as a leadership consultant, a virtual host of disgruntled employees and customers have given me an earful about how poorly they are being treated. Every time I hear the pain and disgust in their voices as they describe the disrespect and dishonor they are experiencing, it makes me even more determined to do something about this epidemic of disrespect in the workplace. In case you may be thinking that this is just one man’s perspective, I suggest that you read an article in The Harvard Business Review, titled “The Price of Incivility: Lack of Respect Hurts Morale and the Bottom Line” by Professor Christine Porath, Associate Professor of Management at Georgetown, and Professor Christine Pearson. Porath and Pearson state emphatically that “Rudeness at work is rampant, and it’s on the rise. Over the past 14 years we’ve polled thousands of workers about how they’re treated on the job, and 98% have reported experiencing uncivil behavior.” The purpose of this white paper is to help leaders realize that this issue of disrespect in the workplace is not just an HR problem; it is, in the primary sense, a ubiquitous leadership problem that is destroying the trust currency and profitability of organizations all over the world. In this white paper you will learn the root cause of the problem of incivility and discover a detailed system for creating a culture of dignity, respect, and honor that will enable you to reap a harvest of sustainable profitability, both socially and economically.

When you look at the title of this white paper, it may not be readily apparent that there is an inextricable relationship between humility and the economic prosperity of your organization.

We all long for intimate connections with those whom we love most. Does true love require souls to touch? What does that mean and how do we do so? Deuteronomy 4:29 and 6:9 clearly establish the fact that we find God and truly love God only when we search and love with our souls. What does that mean? Arguably, soul connection with God and our neighbor is key to reaching the world with the Gospel.
