What's Out? What's Emerging?

Most of us can sense, see, and hear a whole new 'way of seeing, way of being' being born, affecting how we view and 'do' every facet of our lives, including how we do business and how we approach 'work'.

De-stress and Re-connect with the Power of Sacred Wisdom Practices

Fostering a Culture of Deep Inquiry and Listening

The degree to which leaders and transformation-agents embody, communicate, foster, and require such skillfulness will define the degree of success the organization will have in meeting their greatest challenges, and aligning action with the vision and values of the organization. By leading into a culture of deep inquiry and skillful listening, leaders can strengthen the foundation from which all else stems.

The Paths of 'Conscious Enterprise'

As with anything else, there is more than one pathway for the expression of purpose, values, and Wisdom in the world, or of expression in general. The concept of "conscious enterprise" holds within it the intention to work more wisely, with a greater consciousness of the source, the intentions, the values, the ways, and the effects of what we do, why we do it, and how we go about it. It flips on its head the old Machiavellian standard of "the ends justifying the means.". As we know, "the means" often have a significant impact on quality of life and how we end up feeling about our life's work. What are the Value Paths of Conscious Enterprise, and which path are you walking?

The first step in thriving at any given time is to make the choice and set the intention: "Regardless of what's going on around me, regardless of the temporary circumstances at any given time, I choose to thrive."  Once you've decided to thrive rather than simply survive or eke out a life, there are many practices and resources available for you to play with. Here are a few; you'll find more ideas and practices at Ivy Sea Online and in my blogs.

Most of the time, when we think of 'the elements' or specific Seasons, we think of things like whether it's raining or snowing, or whether it's Spring or Fall. But the seasons, cycles, rhythms, paces, and wisdom of Nature is also evident in our own lives, livelihoods, and businesses. When we're aware of and connected to these, and cooperating with them, things seem to flow more gracefully and smoothly, and the results are far richer.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow you soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

What would authentically (truly) conscious enterprise look like? This more holographic vision of 'conscious business' requires a significant degree of commitment and authenticity of the enterprise creators and leaders — who need to 'know themselves' and do the inner work to experience the outer 'manifested wisdom' — as well as a thorough revisiting and revamping of many underlying assumptions, institutionalized limitations, and other 'perceptual prisons'.
