How Business can prevent armed conflict<\/h3>\n

Corporations are potentially a powerful force for good in a deeply troubled world. We advise the private sector on how to invest in conflict prevention and take a stand on global issues, building collaboration between companies, communities and not-for-profits in conflict zones to build Infrastructures for Peace, using the model developed by Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The Mighty Heart\u00ae<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m passionate about this online 8-module course because it has become a life-saver for people dealing with grief, overwhelm, the increasing horrors of war, and massive increases in the cost of living. Each module is backed by exercises and small group discussions. Participants are provided with home study materials that illustrate the sessions with stories and provide exercises and space for personal reflection. For more information about our next courses see the Mighty Heart website<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Heart Intelligence<\/h3>\n

Decision-making in today\u2019s world is dominated by left-brain linear thinking, obsessed with measurement, results, and \u2018winning\u2019. Balance is badly needed. The Intelligence of the Heart supplies this by seeing the whole picture, using compassion to find solutions that benefit all rather than just those at the top. I love to explain what Heart Intelligence is and what it can do for you and the world, with current examples.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Starting with Students<\/h3>\n

Universities are waking up to how strongly students now want to learn how to be of service to this troubled world, replacing the mantra of last century \u2013 \u201cwhat can I get?\u201d – with the new passion for \u201cwhat can I give?\u201d. Our courses show how to take a stand on issues you\u2019re passionate about, get action, and make change happen.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Pioneering the Possible<\/h3>\n

In 2014 I wrote a book called Pioneering the Possible: awakened leadership for a world that works. Amazingly all of it still applies, about how we can change the values that underlie our decisions, speak truth to power, develop a practice of reflection so you can observe your own mind and it\u2019s antics, use conflict as opportunity, and find out what you really want to do with your one precious life.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

New leadership skills<\/h3>\n

A lot is written and spoken today about these skills, but most of it ignores the key ones. These include inner work, deep listening, using intuition, authenticity, transforming the Inner Critic, compassionate communication, being big enough to be vulnerable, not reacting to power dynamics, and identifying how your skill-set meets needs in the world – being in service.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
