#47: What Are You At Heart? with Pat Thompson
by Sean Howard & Eric Portelance
album Attention Surplus
“What do I want to be when I grow up?” That’s the question on the cover of the little book that first drew our attention to this week’s guest. Pat Thompson is a leadership consultant, Metcalf Foundation Innovation Fellow and Visiting Scholar at Massey College.
She visited our living room studio to talk about vocation and good work, the value of being stuck, and the vital importance of reflection and good conversation.
The notebook, available at Dark Horse Espresso in Toronto, contains other deep questions and thought-provoking quotes — and, of course, plenty of space to reflect.
Links for this episode:
- Pat’s website One Alpha Avenue
- Frederick Buechner, writer and theologian
- Wendell Berry’s essay “Conservation is Good Work” (PDF)
- Parker Palmer, author and activist
- “Is Your Job Your Calling” (Fast Company)
- “The Way It Is” by William Stafford (“There’s a thread you follow”)
One of our best episodes to date. Still thinking about all the things Pat shared about work, purpose and vocation.
