Particia Aburdene
Patricia Aburdene, author of Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism. Aburdene says "capitalism is finding its soul" and points to 7 trends that will transform the way we all work, live and invest to prove it. Aburdene has a track record of deciphering the signs of significant long-term change. In the book Megatrends more than 20 years ago, she and John Naisbitt described the birth of the "Information Economy." A decade later, they predicted a networked, technology-driven era in business. In Megatrends 2010 she shows how values, consciousness, and leadership at all levels are reshaping capitalism. She says, "we the people have the power as investors, employees, and consumers to heal capitalism." How has this moved from being a mantra of a few radical idealists to being embraced as an emerging trend in society? Listen to this episode of Leading Conversations with Cheryl Esposito to explore this profound global shift and the important role you play in creating the future. View Guest page

Patricia Albere, spiritual teacher, founder & director of the Evolutionary Collective, & co-author of MUTUAL AWAKENING: Opening to a New Paradigm of Human Relatedness. Who are we at our core?

Mutual awakening leads us to wisdom of the collective. We walk the planet in isolation. Even in our uber-connected world, we see thousands of people pass on the street every day, barely noticing each other or their environment. Ordinary consciousness is based in separation. Patricia's lifelong inquiry into human potential has led her to understand unity consciousness opens a collective knowing or intuition that is always there for us.

Beth is founder and current director of the Journey Center of Claremont, a Christ-based center for spirituality, healing & wholeness. She is Corporate Vice Chair of BNI (Business Network International), & Co-Founder of BNI Foundation. Beth's approach to spirituality invites conversation to explore, rather than divide with dogma. She was inspired to write her book, Jesus and the Secret: Where the Word of God and the Law of Attraction Intersect, when she saw that the Bible teaches some of the same principles as the law of attraction. This did not come without controversy as many Christian authors and experts differed in their perspectives. Having grown up in a conservative religious family, it was expected Beth would become a pastor's wife. That all changed as she experienced the world and carved her own path.

To make sustainable shifts in our behavior and way of thinking, we have to embody new schemas." Somatic Coaching was developed as a way to cultivate the self through the body. In somatics, the body is not just a physiological entity but is the center of our lived experience in the world. It is a way to move toward mastery in our lives, our leadership, and achieving our highest potential.

Freeman Michaels & Susan Leahy, co-founders of Group to Team Leadership Solutions. How many times have you worked on a team, only to discover that no one was really interested in being a team?

There is a difference between acting as a group of individuals motivated by separate self-interest, versus operating as a team fueled by shared vision and mutual interest. Here's the linchpin: successful teams begin with each individual. Everything you do, say or think is either propelling the organization further into "group" or generating more team. Freeman and Susan have created a way to determine whether your choices, attitudes & behavior are viewed through the lens of group or the lens of team. Ready to explore this new vision of team?
