Spirituality in the Workplace Can Be Rewarding
|
Posted By: Valerie Opher on May 26, 2006 Pittsburgh, PA - Valerie Opher, BSN, RN, MAS, DM, an African American woman, who has worked in not-for-profit as well as for-profit organizations in Corporate America, has a testimony. While Dr. Opher does not suspect that her professional experiences and associated challenges, in general, are very different than those of other African Americans working in Corporate America, she does acknowledge that her ©scared to faith approach is unique. What she realized over the years is that she has been able to produce remarkable and far-reaching positive results in the workplace each time that she was scared; scared into believing in a higher power that she calls God. Through her spiritual self-help book, entitled Scared To Faith that was recently released, she shares some of her most profound work experiences, which are ultimately life experiences. Discussions about beliefs, knowledge, and truth in the context of work-related experiences especially those of a racial or discriminatory nature are garnering attention from not only Corporate America, churches and other faith-based organizations, but also from philosophy departments at academic institutions throughout the country. SCARED TO FAITH is available for purchase at retail booksellers and websites. Visit www.travelingtoself.com for additional information about Scared To Faith, and to read Dr. Opher’s poem ©Traveling To Self, which received an Editor’s Choice award.
