Kenny The Monk
One of the things I love about having a blog is I get to write about anything and anyone I like. And Kenny the Monk (well, ex-monk really, has been in my favourites list since I came first came across him, some years back, when I was creating my site Leadership Matters (no longer in existence). I was intrigued by his story – he’d been a monk for 15 years and, at that time, was working as Corporate Ombudsman and Human Resources Director for a corporate organisation in NYC. He’d survived “incurable” cancer and open heart surgery and later went on to write ‘The CEO and the Monk: One Company’s Journey to Profit and Purpose‘, with his Company Chairman. He’s a real inspiration if you’re trying to answer the question “what shall I do with my life“?
