Oprah's Commencement Speech at Stanford


Oprah gave the entire 2008 graduating class of Stanford a copy of two books: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and......A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.

I fell in love with this book in April of 2006, not having an idea how big it would become. But, to me, it was timely and made perfect sense for where we are in the world today. The leadership team of Grace-St. Luke's spent a full year investigating the "six senses" that Dan Pink offers as lenses for inquiry into the opportunity and challenges of the 21st century. I facilitated 6 all day workshops with an expert in each sense and many innovative ideas resulted from this collective learning. Personally, I have delved deeply into the portfolio section of the book and I highly recommend doing that to develop new awarenesses and skills in the "six senses."
