Conscious Leadership: A Glimpse at Fall/Spring 2014 (updated 7 October 2014) Europe Natural Leaders NOW London, 22-23 November 2014 The root word of ‘leadership’ is ‘leith’ which means to cross the threshold, to let go of old ways, mind-sets and logic in order to embrace the new. Leadership is, first and foremost, an attitude to life. A unique and empowering blend of conference and interactive workshops led by inspiring international speakers and teachers (including Mac Macartney, Scilla Elworthy, Jamie Catto). “I am certain that a different future for all of humanity is possible, if humans wake up. Waking up starts with you and me. It means increasing our knowledge of ourselves, using reflection, mindfulness and […]

Quick Inquiry into the “C” word

Post by on

Currently, the “C” word is quickly dismissed in the business world, in fact, it is paradoxically ‘blasphemous’ to many business practitioners.

Inspiration from Conscious Capitalism’s Second Tenet: Stakeholder Integration

In Conscious Capitalism John Mackey explains that “our work can exist at three levels: job, career or calling” (see accompanying image).

A conscious leader’s role is to break down walls and tear down fences

Last night I arrived in Basel airport.  I got to the taxi rank outside, only to be told by the very polite taxi driver that I had exited on the French side.  I needed to go back inside the airport (20 yards), walk down the corridor for a few yards, and exit at the other door, on the Swiss side, where a taxi could take me to my Basel hotel. As I walked the few steps back to the airport I spied a chicken wire fence.  Presumably this was the thing that was separating this side of the world from the other side of the world.  Interesting.  There were no guards, no policing of any […]
