Fontana: Bring a beginner’s mind to problem-solving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of you may be familiar with the term “beginner’s mind,” but I wasn’t. A colleague mentioned it to me, saying she'd just learned about it too. The term is rooted in Zen Buddhism, and the concept is to bring an attitude of openness into discussions and leave preconceived notions behind. The goal is to approach things while limiting your biases.

Read excerpt
I was interested to learn about the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Foundation’s $25 million federal grant for technician apprenticeship programs. The U.S. Department of Labor awarded the grant to help increase registered apprenticeships across several areas, including commercial vehicle service technicians. Fleets, dealers and service shops that participate in registered apprenticeship programs are eligible for $3,500 for each apprentice they hire. There are some time
