Benefiting the Bottom Line with Conscious Culture, Mindfulness, and Innovative Employee Benefits ------ http://consciouscapitalismbayarea.org ------ An Expert Panel Event Hosted By Conscious Capitalism Bay Area ------ With Speakers From Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute, Sequoia Consulting, and Hanson Bridgett ------ Executives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and decision makers are creating new approaches to how business is being done by integrating mindfulness and innovative employee benefits. ------ Many businesses are starting to understand the power of creating a conscious culture – an environment where leaders and employees are deliberately integrating more daily practices to bring focus, awareness and mindfulness into how they work. Companies such as Google, LinkedIn that have chosen this path are seeing great returns in increased productivity, innovation, engagement and overall business performance. ------ So join us for an evening of discussion and action planning to answer the following questions: ------ 1. How do you begin to build a more conscious culture? 2. How does mindfulness and daily practice benefit leaders and employees? 3. What types of employee benefits really move the needle to create a conscious culture? 4. What are potential business metrics you can use to justify this in my organization? 5. What can you hope to achieve if you roll out a mindfulness or other conscious culture program? 6. What are the challenges in introducing this new approach to others? ------ Our panel for the evening will answer these questions from a variety of perspectives to give you a full picture of what conscious culture could look like in your business. We will have time after the panel to discuss key insights and explore action steps to integrate what has been shared. ------ You will walk away with: • A definition of conscious culture and how it looks in a variety of business settings • An understanding of how mindfulness and other daily practices can benefit your bottom line • Data and metrics about innovation in employee benefits – what companies are doing to get results • Ideas to introduce and grow conscious culture in your organization (from start-ups to corporations) including a business case showing increases in productivity and profitability. ------ Speaker Details Marc Lesser, Co-founder and CEO, Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute.
