Salt Lake City - Experience It!

Salt Lake City - Experience It!
Today we arrived in Salt Lake after a midnight blizzard in Southern Idaho. It was white-out, blowing snow last night on I-84 east of Boise. Packed snow on the signs prevented us from knowing exactly where we were.

Stopping at midnight for gas and directions, we were told the weather would be worse for the next 100 miles. We decided a warm bed was the wise choice. It was!

This morning the sun was bright and except for packed snow and ice on portions of the highway the roads were clear. Like yesterday when we crossed the high deserts of eastern Oregon, the drive to Salt Lake was spectacular. Broad expanses of wide, open country that make me take a deep breath looking at the fields, mountains and open prairie.

We're here for visioning with Bob Adams and Diane Cole, the Be Cause Team tax strategists, about the challenges facing businesses and how they might actualize sustainable prosperity using organizational development.

Bob and Diane typically find $2,000 in additional tax refunds in 60% of the prior year tax returns they review. They look at tax returns for the three prior years at no charge and with no obligation.

Most wage-earning people (80 million Americans) are aware of only three basic
deductions: dependents, mortgage interest and education. This is part of the two tax systems of America. Fourteen million American taxpayers have businesses and can start with 157 possible deductions.

What is possible for organizations? What can we create?

We are considering questions:
1. If you had all the money, education, resources and abilities you would like to have or feel you need, what would you spend your life doing?

2. If you were suddenly told you have a year to live, what would you do?

3. If the doctor said you have a month to live, what would you do? Who would you communicate with? What would you say? What important dreams have you wanted to accomplish? What would you do?

We invite you to answer these questions and email your thoughts to us. For the next two full days, Kathleen and I will be in an "Experience It" training here to presence new possibilities we can bring to our "research and development team." We are organizational developers for sustainable prosperity!
