Dr. Roz: Showing Love Through Nonviolence
In a world often driven by profit margins and cutthroat competition, the concept of love might seem out of place in the realm of business. However, Dr. Roz challenges this notion with her profound insights into integrating love into every aspect of entrepreneurship. As the founder of Love Revolution, she advocates for a paradigm shift where love isn’t just an emotion but an intentional, intellectual choice that permeates through all endeavors.
Dr. Roz emphasizes the importance of not compartmentalizing love, but rather infusing it into every facet of business. She believes that genuine love begins with accepting and embracing people where they are, allowing them to evolve voluntarily. This approach not only fosters deeper connections but also creates a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
Showing Love in Business Interactions
One of the key principles Dr. Roz advocates for is the recognition of excellence and gratitude, not just within her team but in every interaction. Whether it’s acknowledging the efforts of her team members or expressing appreciation to service staff, she demonstrates that gratitude knows no boundaries and should be practiced consistently.
Efficiency is another aspect where Dr. Roz applies her philosophy of love. By leveraging asynchronous communication and scheduling tools, she ensures smooth interactions and fosters a culture of respect for everyone’s time. This not only enhances productivity but also reflects her commitment to valuing others’ schedules and priorities.
Despite her organizational prowess, Dr. Roz humbly acknowledges the brilliance of her team, highlighting the importance of surrounding oneself with talented individuals. This collaborative spirit not only fuels innovation but also reinforces the idea that success is a collective effort.
Practicing Love Intentionally
Perhaps most inspiring is Dr. Roz’s reflection on her work. Even in a hypothetical scenario where financial concerns are non-existent, she finds fulfillment in every task on her calendar. This reaffirms her passion-driven approach to entrepreneurship, where love serves as the guiding force behind every decision and action.
Listen in to this wisdom-filled episode to learn more about how to practice love in every area of your life and work!
Meet Our Guest
Dr. Elizabeth Rosner – Dr. Roz
Dr. Roz sees her life’s work as spreading the message of nonviolence to as many people as she can. Her work in this area happens in two arenas.
One of these is her work with The King Center in Atlanta, where she is one of 14 Nonviolence365® Certified Trainers in the entire world. Dr. Roz is also the Special Projects Manager for the program, which embodies Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s six principles of nonviolence. She teaches the program at schools, businesses, and other groups.
She also promotes Nonviolence through her company, DebtFreeDegree. Believing that the burden of student loan debt is a form of violence against young people just starting life, she provides alternatives that allow them to get the education they want without taking on crushing debt.
She loves her work and would still do it, even if she never needed to make another dime. But when she does have free time, she’s a devoted fan of the Georgia Bulldogs and has devoted a whole wall (pictured below) to her favorite team.
