Admittedly, I had forgotten about Margaret’s email about Pagea Day. When I woke up on Saturday morning; all that was on my mind was the fact that Summer Term has just started and I was already behind. I laid out my books on the kitchen table preparing to lay out a schedule of work. I turned on the TV as usual, overdosed on the Obama and Clinton race,…I turned to the Current channel. There it was, the Pangea Day broadcast, so forget blogging or Bb, there I sat mesmerized.
There are a number of women that I admire, amongst them is Christian Amanpour, CNN Reporter. So typical of Amanpour is to give you a unique political perspective, Amanpour’s interview of a Palestinian Lebanese Sunni-Chehad and a Lebanese Christian - Chaftari who fought against each other in Lebanon's ongoing civil war was intriguing. Both Chehad and Chaftari had made a change and came together to create a different reality in searching for peace and community for their country
What was powerful was when Chaftari describes how he made the change….
"I had to change many things in my life, on a very personal basis. My way of looking and seeing the others as they really were rather than seeing them as I sought or wanted them to be.

Chapter 1 - Kashman talks about leadership comes from within us….hence the persona vs character. So taking a deep look within is where the answers lie. “As we move to a more fulfilled manner of living, a focus on purpose replaces our single-minded focus on external success. However, our purpose cannot stay “bottled up” inside; we must express it. This purposeful intention and action serves as the energetic, inspired basis for enhanced leadership effectiveness. (Pg. 22).
