The word “humility” is more often than not associated with lowering oneself at the expense of others. From our earliest days on the playground and the classroom to our participation in competitive sports, places of work and even our houses of worship, Western society’s view of being humble vary. What value does humility play in our work, civic and family life? This half-day program will look in-depth at how humility has shaped the lives of Abraham Lincoln, countless mothers and people who do the work that most people find challenging leaning heavily on actual events, psychology, sociology, and everyday opportunities to impart simple gestures of altruism. What separates those who know the value of humility and those who consciously and unconsciously create avatars as a shield from presumed judgment and indifference? Why do we lie to and about ourselves? What does is mean to put ourselves in the right place to serve and be served?
