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!

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 untold story of the 2010 Olympics

By |2017-07-13T17:44:02-04:00April 9th, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership|

Operation: "Flat Kerrsen" What began as a grade two school project later became a colossal endeavor, bringing hundreds of people together, including current and past Olympic gold medalists, rock stars and hockey legends, to share in the true spirit of the Olympics. It all started with a single note and a picture that was sent by Margo Johnston, Olympic organizer, to her friends and colleagues: I have been asked by a friend to help her grandson with a Flat Stanley project. Kerrsen is 7 years old and lost his father to cancer last year. He has mailed us his little flat self to explore British Columbia...and we are taking him to the Olympics! Your mission, should you accept, is to contribute to Flat Kerrsen's school project by making his trip to the Olympics unforgettable!" And unforgettable it was! There wasn't a more traveled person, albeit flat person, at the Olympics. Not even the press would have seen the events that he saw, nor met the number of people both behind the scenes and in front of the [...]

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

By |2017-07-13T17:44:06-04:00August 4th, 2009|Career and Business, Shifting Perspectives|

  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.
