Verizon has been in the top 10 on the Training Top 125 five times out of the last six years, kept a flat training budget, monitor new hires at intervals of 30 days up to 120 days, and have proven results with new hires consistently meeting expectations (Freifeld, 2012, as cited in Kinicki & Williams, 2013).

    What I Believe Reiki is not a belief system. Anyone who gets the full Reiki initiations can use the Reiki energy for healing them- selves and others. Belief in Reiki is not a requirement for Reiki to work. If you get the Reiki attunements, you have the ability to flow the Reiki energy; a class, and this book—or any book—are only the packages a Master wraps Reiki in to present it to you.

If God were real, wouldn’t He reach out to us?
