Technalink is very proud and honored to embrace people of different ethnicities, genders, cultures and religious beliefs as valuable members of our team. As part of our commitment to spiritual entrepreneurship, we recognize there is something of value in everyone, and that it is the differences that a person can bring that can help everyone to grow and become stronger.
Now, more than ever, we realize that many people in different parts of the world—including our own—are reacting with fear and isolationism to the idea of an established, uniform, conformed way of life being introduced to changes. Because something is new, or unfamiliar, or doesn’t match up with established expectation, or tradition, it is viewed as a threat, rather than an opportunity to learn and grow.
In business, adhering to tradition simply because “that’s the way it is, and people are familiar with it, so don’t shake things up,” can lead to stagnancy, and ultimately insolvency. Here at The Insolvency Experts we can mitigate insolvency risk, preserve cash flow and help you grow your business.
Personal Growth
In the realm of people, teammates, and coworkers spiritual entrepreneurship can benefit everyone both personally and professionally. While there is both safety, and predictability in a “monoculture,” where everyone thinks the same thing, looks the same way, and lives in the same manner, there is also stagnation, and a lack of inciting sparks, or provocative elements to challenge and encourage growth.
But when people are presented with the unfamiliar, such as people from a different country, or ethnicity, or religious affiliation or gender, this encourages learning. And learning encourages not just new ideas, but new attitudes and, in the very best circumstances, a new understanding, tolerance and empathy for other people, their world and their concerns.
Fear & Distrust Is Not The Answer
Change is both inevitable and good. Learning new things is not a threat to an existing way of life. If this were true, America would still be a nation of farmers that had never put humans on the moon. We must be open and respectful when people bring something new and unfamiliar to us. Perhaps more importantly, and this is a key component of spiritual entrepreneurship, we must be curious.
If we see something unfamiliar, or meet someone that is unfamiliar, what is it that is unfamiliar? What is new? What can be learned? By taking the time to honestly learn and understand from people that are different from us, we stand to gain things we had never imagined. In the simplest terms, what do you think the average American’s “food-life” would be like if we ate only hamburgers and pizzas? No sushi, no curry, pasta or pad thai?
Americans have always had a willingness to sample new food from other lands, because this is a nation of people from other lands. And that means that different belief systems and ways of thinking are part of that American experience. By finding the best in others, and being willing to take it upon ourselves as well, we become better people, and we can conduct better business.
