September News from Conscious Capitalism Great Lakes Bay Region

Create win-win-win solutions. Pioneering naturalist John Muir observed that, "When you tug at a single thing in nature, you find it attached to the rest of the world." Such is the case with business which is an intricate and interconnected web of relationships. Unlike some businesses that believe they only exist to maximize return on investment for their shareholders, conscious businesses focus on their whole business ecosystem, creating and optimizing value for all of their stakeholders, understanding that strong and engaged stakeholders lead to a healthy, sustainable, resilient business. They recognize that without employees, customers, suppliers, funders, supportive communities and a life-sustaining ecosystem, there is no business. Conscious Capitalism is a win-win-win proposition which includes a healthy return to shareholders.

Critical to achieving your purpose is to value and care for EVERYONE that touches your business. This includes your 1) employees, 2) customers, 3) suppliers, 4) investors, 5) society, and 6) environment... sometimes that even includes your competition. As we move our attention towards embodying the tenet of Stakeholder Orientation this fall, we invite you to motivate all stakeholders by creating "win-win-win" outcomes for all who are impacted by your business's decisions.

Moving Concepts to Practice Virtual Team Workshop

The Moving Concepts to Practice (MCTP) Workshop is your opportunity to build a stronger conscious business as you bring a team of 2-8 (max) people to the virtual table to gain a deeper understanding of the Four Tenets of Conscious Capitalism - Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Orientation, Conscious Leadership, and Conscious Culture - and how their application applies to overcoming challenges, fostering a more positive environment, and building a high performance culture in your company or organization.

Led by Mark Sauter, Founder & President of GTP Associates, Inc. and member of the GLBR Chapter Leadership Team, this team-based workshop will move the philosophy of Conscious Capitalism from the abstract to the practical through facilitated team inquiry and shared conversation designed to identify and prioritize potential improvement opportunities resulting in deeper levels of leadership effectiveness, productivity, employee engagement, and creative collaboration. Your team will leave supported with the knowledge and tools necessary to discuss next steps/actions with their executive sponsor(s) following the workshop.
