Colloquium: Embrace the Journey: Japanese Philosophies for Resilience and Purpose in Nursing, Education, and Business
AU Colloquium Series
Abstract: In today’s increasingly dynamic and demanding environment, people seek ways to build resilience, discover purpose, and navigate challenges in nursing, education, and business. Traditional Japanese philosophies offer valuable insights and practical strategies for cultivating these qualities, presenting a unique approach to personal and professional development. This series will delve into key concepts such as Ikigai, or “reason for being,” Wabi-Sabi’s celebration of imperfection and transience, Kintsugi—the art of repairing broken objects with gold—, Kaizen’s focus on small, continuous improvements, and Gaman, which emphasizes patience and perseverance. We will also explore ‘The Mindful Journey: Integrating Wisdom for a Balanced Life & Career.” Remember, it’s not about reaching a destination but about embracing the journey. Let’s spend some time together exploring a holistic lifestyle.
Bio of Speaker: Dr. Stephen Kalb brings over thirty years of experience in education, nursing leadership, and wellness. He has held various roles in both industry and academia.
