CleanPiller 7-"Balance" Teacher: Tom Frase | One of the most difficult problems we face as professionals is the struggle for a workable balance between our work life and home life. Tom Frase provides his insights as to how we can look at this dilemma and find a way of maintaining proper balance...and the answer is NOT how I can figure it out all for myself. Maintaining proper balance will require us to allow those around us to help and advise us because we often become so accustomed to being out of balace that we don't even realize it, much less know how to correct it. | 3/9/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean"Pillar 03 - Excellence" Teacher: Tom Frase | What do you think of when you think about doing your work with excellence? Does excellence really mean perfection in todays vernacular?

CleanPillar's of Faith at Work - Pillar 1 - "Abiding in Christ" | We are very excited about this year's Eight to Five. This is the fifth season of presenting a powerful monthly opportunity for marketplace professionals to gather and hear about ways that their peers are living out their faith at work. This year, we want to go to a deeper level. So many of you have told us that you really enjoy the talks, but you want to learn more about faith and work principles. You have said you want to talk about real world issues that you face every day in your job that challenge you to live out your faith. Our plan is to use each monthly event to focus more on teaching “how to do it?” which is an often asked question. We are not saying that we have all the answers to every question you might have, but we want to focus on some of the most important issues and questions that you might have regarding what does living out my faith really look like. Using the WorkMatters Seven Pillars of faith and work as a framework, our goal is to address real life issues we face every day and for you to leave our meetings with solid application points to take back to your workplace. | 9/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
