Jedi Religious Faith
The Jedi Church believes that there is one all powerful force that binds all things in the universe together. The Jedi religion is something innate inside everyone of us, the Jedi Church believes that our sense of morality is innate. So quiet your mind and listen to the force within you!

The Order of the Jedi, while seated in Canada, is a worldwide Order. It is meant to consolidate the communications between all other organizations promoting Jediism. We put efforts in making resources available to all who take Jediism as their faith, regardless of their denomination, geographical location, or organization. We make available our Force training program to all members of all Jediism organizations deemed serious and respectful.

I had not heard of this particular group, but there are some interesting precepts and ideas that are worth some thought and discussion…
I definitely think it’s time to get this site back on track… less crap more substance.
So today apparently was just not my day… I went in to work on my day off to attempt to achieve a recert for some friends and a couple of my staff. After driving from the far side of the city at the crack of dawn to the Waterpark, I changed into my teaching clothes and proceeded to make coffee then I walked back to my office to finish organizing only to discover that I had locked my keys in my damned office.
It was not a serious problem, I mean really – who needs award guides and other necessities in order teach? Luckily with a bit of poking around I was able to the materials I needed in order to get though the morning, but I finally decided that it was best to call Xak for some clothes and depart as soon as I was done.
I returned home in a grump and decided that I should have a pout and then go from there.
from “Becoming a Great Boss” by Jeffrey J Fox
In an early chapter, Fox outlines 10 steps to becoming a great boss. When I read these simple rules, I wonder how many of them I attain. How about you?
1. Hire only top-notch, excellent people.
2. Put the right people in the right job. Weed out the wrong people.
3. Tell your people what needs to be done.
4. Tell your people why it is needed.
5. Leave the job up to the people you’ve chosen to do it.
6. Train your people.
7. Listen to your people.
8. Remove frustration and barriers that fetter your people.
9. Inspect progress.
10. Say “thank you” publicly and privately.
These 10 items are really the heart of the book. Read that list again and think about how truly simple and easy each one should be. Want a great salesperson? Hire a great one, or someone who could become great. Want to empower people to make your customers happy? Train them, knock the barriers out of their way, and then leave them alone to do it.
I have ready many of Jeffrey J Fox’s books (usually on airplanes as I travelled the last few years) and this is one that I return to often to try and be better at my job!
