Rotary's Four-Way Test: A Guide to Building a Personal and Professional Life of Character
How The Four-Way Test can help you build strong personal and professional relationships
Why The Four-Way Test is more relevant than ever in the 21st century
How to memorize The Four-Way Test (and other important information) using a highly effective technique
In preparation for this meeting, our speaker requests that members consider how The Four-Way Test has impacted their lives personally or professionally.
Our VP/Programs David Fain introduced Patti Payne who everybody in the Seattle area knows! As she is a longtime columnist for The Puget Sound Business Journal, worked decades as a broadcast news anchor and correspondent, serves on several boards, and keynotes, and emcees numerous events yearly. Payne serves as principal of her own consulting business, The Payne Group Communicating/Connecting.
While Patti told us how much she loves Rotary and the trusted relationships through the years, she did admit feeling a little uneasy in the spotlight, as she is usually the one interviewing others.
Her remarks, entitled Payneful Perspectives on Leadership were reflections on her own leadership path and lessons from some of our region’s key business leaders.
She started with a moving story, one she has never forgotten: Working for a local broadcast station, she was interviewing at holiday time, the head of a local nonprofit working with abused children. She was told that these youngsters never spoke, but she remained hopeful that one child might break his or her silence when asked what they might want for Christmas. After an hour of speaking gently to the children, one boy with whom she had made strong eye contact eventually shared his touching wish: “One good day.” This was all he wanted – and Patti noted that indelible moment was a powerful, courageous example of true leadership. “Leadership is how we think of approaching every day; how we find the spark inside of us and the spark that lifts others. All of us are leaders, it’s our choice,” Patti said.
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. That is true with Jessica Hennessey, proposed by Mark Wright and Sarah Mackay.
Jess grew up in central New York. Her father worked for Boeing as a flight technician and lived all over the world assisting with the delivery of airplanes. When Cayman Airways bought planes, for example, Jess was off to visit her father in the Cayman Islands. Her father instilled in her a love of travel, cultures, and peoples of the world. Her mother, a dental hygienist, insisted that she and her siblings regularly volunteer at nursing homes, instilling in Jess a call to service.
Love of travel and a call to service defines this Rotarian.
Join fellow District 5030 Rotarians and bring your friends for a viewing of this groundbreaking documentary. In the film Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, Robinson asks all of us to examine who we are, where we came from, and who we want to be. The film includes Jeffery Robinson's talk on the history of U.S. anti-Black racism interwoven with archival footage, interviews, and Robinson's story, exploring the enduring legacy of white supremacy and our collective responsibility to overcome it. This is a must-see.
The Who We Are Project was founded by Jeffery Robinson, former ACLU Deputy Legal Director. Stay after the film as Jeffery will be present after the credits for a Q&A Session.
Members who joined Seattle #4 in the last two years haven't had many opportunities to meet in person socially. Now is your chance. Stop by after work for a beverage and bite and get inspired by your fellow new Rotarians.
We can't wait to meet you. All members are welcome to attend.
