*As appeared in the Hamilton Spectator:
In today’s fast-paced business world, companies are searching for any possible competitive edge. One innovative option for employers looking to improve both productivity and staff satisfaction is a process aptly named The Work of Byron Katie.
Hamilton’s Lori Verbeek is a certified facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. Lori’s own success using the process to improve her own business and personal life has fuelled her passion to share The Work with others.
“I have applied The Work to my accounting and consulting businesses for more than six years now and have experienced remarkable benefits,” she says. “The peace I feel, as well as the changes I experience, are in direct relation to the resulting degree to which my mind is open to deal with that which is presented, in all areas of my life.”
Lori credits The Work with helping her to find a place of personal clarity, allowing her to achieve healthy decision-making and relationships. “I credit The Work for contributing to maintaining a more peaceful me in both my personal life and business,” she explains.
The Work involves four questions and turnarounds where an open-minded participant isolates stressful thoughts; writes them down; questions them; and finally turns them around. People have reported that following this plan can help employees and other staff become more focused, efficient and fulfilled.
Through her Hamilton-based practice called Listening Unlimited, Lori hosts individual sessions as well as workshops and presentations in venues ranging from the corporate sector to schools. A main goal is to promote self-awareness and personal transformation of all of her clients.
