Pledge of Support

The ENDespair Coalition is an alliance of those deeply concerned about the despair, stress or powerlessness many people experience about work, who pledge to continue a dialogue.

• We aim to raise self-awareness, to discuss personal concerns, career decisions, spiritual values and ethical issues, and to increase our own and others sense of social responsibility.
  
  
• We will do our best to listen with empathy without judging, to respect others's feelings, to support their dreams.
  
  
• We recognize the importance of communication as one step toward feeling more connected and empowered, and toward creating positive change.

Making a Difference Each Day

In small ways, each of us can do something to make the world of work a more caring place.

1. Consider how you interact with others.  When someone hurts or angers you, think about the other person's intention--and definition of his or her job. Your ability to listen and respond in a caring manner to their needs, as well as your own.  Empathy gives them the sense that they matter--even though problems and difficulties remain unchanged.   
   
   
2. Look at your attitude about working.  What  might you do to shift your perspective so that, regardless of your present work situation, each day seems rewarding?
   
   
3. What suggestions do you have for ways to think, talk, act related to working that would make things easier for yourself--and/or for others?
   
   

If you wish, send your answers in with your pledge of Support.
