Integrity Matters Broadcasts
October 30, 2007
Dear friends:
Bringing our friends and colleagues up to speed on some recent changes – regarding Dimension Five Consultants, Inc. and the Bracher Center for Integrity in Leadership! Am taking my own advice about “retiring” – which was revealed in my August 22, 2007, Integrity Matters newspaper column:
It requires good planning to make your retirement a creative transition:
So, here is the announcement and how to continue to stay in contact with us.
Kevin R. Saunders, Executive Director, The Foundation of California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) is pleased to announce the appointment of James F. (Jim) Bracher as the Director of the newly established Executives-in-Residence Program. Under Jim's leadership the Executives-in-Residence Program will be developing opportunities for students, faculty and staff - and members and organizations in and around communities impacted by CSUMB - by leveraging the experience and counsel of successful professionals from both the for-profit and not-for profit sectors. Programs and services anticipated to be developed will include symposia, workshops, lectures, mentoring and career counseling.

In closing, please give some consideration to having us assist you – or someone you admire - in formulating and printing important legacy thoughts – Final Lecture – sharing with others most admired qualities and insights for living – personally and professionally.
Providing a process - enabling individuals to present and publish their “final lecture” - just might become an important part of the Executives-in-Residence program; establishing a values impact that could constructively impact many lives, for years to come. Here’s how the idea was started, appearing in my weekly Integrity Matters newspaper column:
QUESTION: If you knew you only had one more opportunity to pass along your own important values, what would you say? And, when would you say it?
ANSWER: The answer varies from person to person. However, in Jeffrey Zaslow's Wall Street Journal article about Carnegie Mellon's computer-science professor Randy Pausch, the question isn't rhetorical. Pausch, the 46-year-old father of three, has pancreatic cancer and expects to live for just a few months.
In addition to displaying his own integrity in front of 400 students and colleagues, his "final lecture" has created a permanent legacy for his three young children, ages 5, 2 and 1.
Here are Dr. Pausch’s "most important" thoughts.
Please let us know how we might help you formulate and communicate your “final lecture” – fully appreciating that what individuals leave behind, that is truly valuable, includes integrity.
Jim -
