Philosopher Nicholas Maxwell defines wisdom as the capacity,
the desire, and the active endeavor to realize what is of value in life,
for oneself and others. From social media to newsletters, podcasts, blogs,
books and research literature, we are constantly inundated with information.
Knowledge and information are produced and disseminated every single second.
As beings that need information to thrive, grow and flourish,
how do we not only select the right and most useful information,
but also know how to use and apply it rightly, soundly and justly to yield impact?
Knowledge must be accompanied by wisdom in order to extract
and significance from information. Wisdom is an understanding of the complex
relationships between our existence, the natural human condition, drivers of
human suffering, our limitations and possibilities, and their implications.
Wisdom helps us to interpret knowledge by using human and moral values to
guide action to solve problems, create opportunities, and increase
the well being of all.
Wisdom promotes flourishing, resilience, endurance, and perseverance.
Biblical Wisdom is my secret ingredient. I impart wisdom and facilitate
individuals and organizations’ growth in and use of wisdom to tackle
challenges and take action.
