Several years before the recording of this episode The Arbinger Institute put our a series of books and practices regarding "The Outward Mindset". Chemeketa has implemented this way of thinking and we decided to have Jon Mathis come in and sit down and the Table to talk about it.

What is a WIB? We sit down at the table with Executive Director of local Workforce Investment Board "Willamette Workforce Partnership", Kim Parker-Llenares to talk about how businesses and humans are being impacted by workforce dollars being reinvested.

When most of us think of education we think of schools like Chemeketa where a person can attain a degree and learn the technical knowledge for the start of a career. Today's guest had a different experience.

We want to share some cool things about our really rad College. We decided that the best way to do that was to have us sit down together at "the Table" and just chat. So we decided to create the ChemekeTable, where everyone has a seat at the Table. This way we can sit and visit and get to know each other a bit. This is our first episode and we're excited to regularly sit down with you here at the Table for a little hang out time.
