Spent the day at the Business & Belief Symposium hosted by the Center for Christianity in Business on the campus of Houston Baptist University, and wow, what an impact these folks are making on tomorrow's leaders.200 students and over 40 mentors, professionals from the marketplace, spent time in several breakout sessions conducted by seasoned business men and women, including some of Fred Smith's mentees. Harold Myra, former CEO of Christianity Today, Mark Ammerman, Managing Director at Scotiabank, James Beckett, founder of Beckett Publishing, Wallace Henley, Pastor, author and former Nixon aid, as well as Brad Hays, Bible in the Boardroom, and many others broached topics ranging from networking to leadership to ethics.
Bottom-line? The CCB has started the dialog of biblical values' place in business. Appropriately so, the dialog includes the marketplace, academia and students.
After listening to the testimony of how biblical values positively impact the workplace, you'll wonder why America ever walked away from them to begin with.
And, a note to those of you about to hire this generation of workers, they are very interested in how your company fits their needs: social, economic, and even, spiritual. We shot some great footage from the day's activities and we'll post it soon.
