Tara, what an excellent exercise about the business cards, reminding people of other's humanity.

And I love this: "When we choose to lead with character, we must base our actions on the innate value of those we lead."

This takes me toward another post, but one reason I think people are so far removed from their impact on others, is that they are disconnected from their own humanity, and from taking issue (respectfully) with how they are being treated, or how they are treating themselves.  If we truly felt our own humanity, why would we want to be thoughtless and hurtful to others?
