Helping Small Business Go Green

By |2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00December 8th, 2010|Career and Business, Connecting To Nature|

Most small and medium-sized business owners indicate an interest in improving their environmental practices but many do not have the knowledge or resources to begin the process. While there might be a will to become a better steward of the environment, there is a common misperception that it takes substantial green to become green. In fact, businesses can significantly save money by reducing their energy consumption.

The 5 Stages of Coping with Crisis

By |2017-07-13T17:43:59-04:00August 3rd, 2010|Career and Business, Crisis, Loss and Renewal|

Shock, Assessment, Plan, Support, Rebuild I wrote this article in January, 2009, over a year and a half ago. According to my web stats, it is one of my most read posts. I remember when I was writing it, our family was going through a person crisis, as my husband battled cancer. At the time, I considered titling the post, “What fighting cancer has taught me about coping with the current economic crisis”.  I decided not to, because I didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring in my personal story and experiences into a public blog (have my perceptions of social media ever changed since!). Yet, as I was writing it, I realized how much the coping mechanisms for any crisis (whether personal, professional, global or local) have many of the same aspects when it comes to how they affect us and how we react to them. I am sharing this post again here today, because I hope it will help anyone who is trying to cope with a difficult crisis in their lives – [...]

Successful practices of mindful organizations

By |2017-07-13T17:44:01-04:00May 14th, 2010|Career and Business|

Where two or more gather…let them do so with consciousness Version Français I have spent over 25 years working and consulting for all types of organizations – big, small, public, private, for profit and not. One thing I have found to be consistent is a general malaise in these organizations. The unbridled pursuit of profit at any cost has left them with products that are commoditized, employees at the brink of exhaustion and environments and communities close to depletion. Why is this happening? To understand, I removed myself totally from corporate life and gained a new perspective. I left my consulting practice and immersed myself into the mindfulness community. I went inwards using today’s contemplative practices to gain insight.  I have been researching the most successful leaders in consciousness and sustainability looking for the best wisdom teachings. What I found surprised me and gave me hope. […]

Wisdom meets modern technology with a WOW!

By |2017-07-13T17:44:01-04:00May 7th, 2010|Career and Business, Education, Community and Leadership|

I was extremely fortunate to have attended the Wisdom 2.0 Conference in Silicon Valley last weekend. It is the first of its kind, bringing together leaders in new media and technology, like Twitter, Google and Facebook, with spiritual and social consciousness leaders. I first heard about the conference about a month ago from a friend.

The 3 P’s of the New Economy

By |2017-07-13T17:44:06-04:00August 10th, 2009|Career and Business, Shifting Perspectives|

Much has been written about the unprecedented global economic crisis, including the causes - greed, selfishness, financial and loan schemes, rampant consumerism. As I hear talk of the recession easing, I am a bit concerned that we will come out of it too quickly to make real change. Our current economic model is not sustainable. Many of us are waking up to this fact. We have a chance to create a new economy based not only on the profit bottom line, but also on the social and environmental bottom lines - referred to as the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit.

Why Right-Brainers will Rule the World

  Daniel H. Pink has created a body of inspiring and thought-provoking work in his book A Whole New Mind. This is a book that Oprah gave to 4500 graduating students from Stanford last year, because it offers a whole new perspective on the skills and apptitudes that will be required for the next generation of leaders.  In his book, he argues that a “Whole New Mind” is required to thrive in the future, one that is more holistic, balancing both the attributes of left and right brain thinking.
