Service is appreciative and reverent reciprocity for the gift of life.

The crises of our time allow us to see and act
from our leadership privilege and responsibility
…no matter what our roles.

They provide a platform or stage
upon which we can learn, co-create,
and find ways to contribute
from deep meaning and purpose.

from Leadership in a Challenging World: A Sacred Journey by Barbara Shipka, Butterworth Heinemann, 1997.
