  4. Focus on The Whole Person “Wojtvla was enormously interested in another person … he tried to accompany someone in their problems … he was open to revealing the humanity of another.” “ … Wojtyla never pressed … the stress was always on personal responsibility – you can decide because you are capable of knowing the truth.” ”…. It was all a matter of “meeting someone wisely” ……” George Weigel, The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II – The Victory of Freedom, The Last Years, the Legacy,

  5. Teaching and Advising Tools • The Journey • Culture Model • Reflection

  6. Tool 1 - The Journey

  7. Labyrinth or Maze?

  8. Tool 2- Beyond Career to Calling* What am I WORKING for ? (WORK) What am I RESTING for? (LEISURE) What am I LIVING for? (INTEGRATION) Vocation (Giving) Contemplation (Receiving) Integrity (Being) Career (Taking) Function (Using) Achievement (Doing) Job (Getting) Amusement (Escape) Gratification (Having) * Dr. Michael Naughton - Director, John A. Ryan Institute at Univ. of St. Thomas

  9. Work as Career Psychological Rewards (intrinsic motivations): self esteem, creativity, autonomous; personally satisfying (inherent values of work) Productivity, Control and Competence Oriented Career as a “vehicle” - to get from here to there – the next step Leisure as Function Rest is justified “to sharpen the saw” in order to be more productive Sunday Afternoon Neurosis versus The Sabbath (the value of real rest) Integration as Achievement Identity focused on achievements and competition Careerism: Doing over Being

  10. Work as Vocation “Vocare” – to “call”; a calling to give (transcendent motives): To Be Human (Being) To a State in Life (Belonging) To a Particular Way of Work (Doing) Work as Giving of Ourselves Our gifts as reflected in a different set of motives: From “Utility Maximizers” to Distributors of Justice From “Human Resources or Capital” to Human Dignity From Private Wealth to Common Goods Catholic Social Principles at Work

  11. Leisure as Contemplation We cannot give what we do not have, or have not received. An act of “Receivement” based on habits of: Solitude; Celebration; Service. Not escape from the world, but to see it as it is. Work as Vocation and Leisure as Contemplation provides the capacity for Integration! Integration as Integrity Integritas — to be whole, complete, unimpaired, not just balanced, but centered Different roles in life but the same person! Level 5 Leadership – Great Resolve & Humility Identity, Meaning, Purpose

I have my mission—I never may know it fully in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. Somehow, I am necessary to His purposes…I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught” - John Henry Newman
