My dear friend, John Lilly, said it best: You get out of it what you put into it. I think it’s fair to say that he got quite a lot out of it—he certainly put a great deal of effort into it.

Research has shown as many as 95 separate benefits. Some benefit business, some improve health, and the rest—most of them—benefit each of us. Just learning to listen effectively, when almost all of us have a long history of being poor listeners, will generate substantial benefits to you. I’ve seen it. Managers who listen most effectively tend to be the best.

Not really. I had absolutely no intention of creating something pertinent to religion as I started to work on this training. I was totally focused on reducing turnover and making recruitment more effective. As it turns out, that clearly was successful.

Then, as I developed more topics, I began to see something I didn’t expect at all. The work clearly supports much of what is taught within religion. Consider—the training points out that a way to achieve the best life available to us is to be a good person.

There have been many religious leaders participate in the training. It was obvious, they said, that this work is not religion—but it provides strong support to what is taught within most religions.
