OKM Staff
Your CIA team wanted to create an opportunity for some professional dialogue. We so rarely get time to talk to each other about our practice that we decided to create an avenue to change this. Once a month an article will be sent out that may be inspiring, controversial, or at the very least thought-provoking to help generate a lively conversation. The week after the articles comes out we will meet after school to discuss the article and see what directions we may take from there.
We will meet on the couches in the new wing. A nice spread of snacks and refreshments will be served as we relax and have a dialogue on the article and any additional topics that arise. No RSVP is necessary, we understand that after schools are busy times for us all but hope you will be able to join us sometime over the next few months. |

The Power of Introverts
http://www.ted.com In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.
