All Growth Isn't Bigger - The Consciousness of Business Growth
All growth isn’t bigger and continuous growth isn’t sustainable. Across nature, there is a natural limit to growth. It’s about efficiency as well as the consumption and allocation of resources. By contrast, out of control growth is known as cancer – the uncontrolled growth of a tumorous mass. And unless the growth can be arrested and even reversed, the organism eventually dies.

Sense and Respond - A Model For Navigating Uncertainty
It is getting more and more difficult to plan ahead with any degree of accuracy and relevance as our ever-changing world continues to move more quickly and develop ever greater complexity. We need a new means of engaging that my mentor, Dr. Michael Picucci, describes as a creative and fluid movement of experience.

Conscious Business Practices: The Broader Perspective
I recently wrote that the Conscious Business operates from a place of deep wisdom that naturally gives rise to the conscious practices that generate sustainable results. It’s a paradox where the organization shifts its attention to inner resources and the seemingly exte al behaviors begin to naturally change. By working from the inside out, conscious business practices become an extension of who the organization and its leaders really are.

Conscious Business Practices : A Deeper Perception
There are at least seven conscious business practices that emerge as the organization shifts its focus from exte al behaviors to inner resources. At a high level the organization broadens it perspective, deepens its perception as its actions become more intentional. This article looks at those practices that broaden the organizational perspective – first going deep within and then further beyond itself. Next, the organization’s field of vision deepens and changes the way it approaches normal, daily situations. Cultivate Curiosityr

Conscious Business Practices : Acting With Intention
The Conscious Business takes a broader perspective and with deeper perception, allowing it to act more intentionally. In this post, we look at the remaining conscious business practices – those that reflect how the organization acts. Shifting its focus from exte al behaviors to inner resources, the Conscious Business operates from its core where actions arise deliberately, authentically and often with greater purpose.

Sustainable Prosperity - The Consciousness of Wealth
I often look about the world and see a vast discrepancy in the distribution of resources – those who have more than they could ever possibly consume and other places where just a portion of those resources would make a tremendous difference in people’s lives and well being. It seems we have confused abundance with prosperity. Let’s look at that a bit deeper and from a more conscious perspective.

Re-Visioning Our Future
It’s that time of year again when we look back to what we accomplished over the past year and forward to what we wish to do in the next twelve months. For many years this has been an important time of reflection and goal setting for me but this year I’m approaching it a bit differently – by first looking at the really big picture to envision the changes I would like to see in the world and then working back from that vision to imagine how I might participate in this evolving view.

Three Unconscious Practices In Business Today
Few people would disagree when I say that our current business model is no longer working – and may, in fact, be broken. The debate begins, though, with trying to diagnose and then fix it. I propose there are three unconscious practices in business today that, if reversed, would result in a more productive, sustainable and efficient way of doing business. Consciousness, on the other hand, with its timeless and formless nonattachment is counter to the very principles of capitalism as we currently know it. And it is in that difference that we may find the solution.

A Conscious Business Is More Than Conscious Practices
Many years ago the company I was working for at the time began to engage various culture shaping initiatives. As a “consciousness nerd” my curiosity was piqued as I looked forward to being exposed to new theories and perhaps a deeper understanding of my own nature. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. While I witnessed several attempts by different firms, all were focused on changing surface behaviors without shifting underlying beliefs – lots of tools but no foundation of principles. As a result, not much was integrated into individual behaviors and very little ever changed.

Uncovering Our Light: 12 Steps And The Shaman’s Journey
A spiritual awakening is simply the awareness that we are more than just a physical body, with a thinking mind. We have a spiritual nature too, that many traditions speak of as a light. Yet lots of us no longer have access to that light. Addicts and Alcoholics have used drugs and alcohol until it‘s covered up. And for others, the stress and demands of a fast-paced, modern world drive us to escape through the compulsions of shopping, television, internet, sex and other things, rather than retreat to the light of this spiritual nature.

Sustainability Part VI: A View From The Mountaintop
On the eve of his untimely death, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke the prophetic words, “I've been to the mountaintop. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.” Dr. King’s promised land was a vision that he held with determination regardless of whether it would be realized in his own lifetime.

Sustainability Part V: Cottage Industries In A Village Community
While the tops down approach of rewilding our governments and corporations (see last week’s blog) is a necessary step on the path to achieving a sustainable existence. It is not enough. We also need individual actions. We must actively participate if the change we desire is to manifest.
