Remembering Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan

This year, I celebrated the 25th anniversary of my first profession. Looking back at each step is just moving. The journey that God has led me on so far is amazing. I have to confess that everything is a gift and a miracle of God's grace.

How leaders can help employees develop their careers

We tend not to question our own assumptions. However, without thoroughly examining our own thoughts, we may end up believing assumptions that are largely wrong. While conducting facilitation workshops, I saw firsthand how often leaders unconsciously accept their own assumptions as true. This type of phenomenon can sometimes be mistaken for a cultural phenomenon, such as a col...
