In honor of the one-year anniversary of the book launch, we are kicking off our book club series with Rehumanizing the Workplace. Join us as we consciously convene to discuss principles from the book and their application to help navigate these disruptive times. We will meet monthly over the course of 4 months (March – June 2021) discussing approximately 3 chapters each session. As a special bonus, each book club session will have a special guest from one of the companies featured in the book to share updates and how their conscious business practices have helped them navigate the insanity of this past year.

Companies that operate with a long-term mindset outperform their peers over time. But, systemic incentives are set up to force companies into a short-term mindset. In late 2020, the Long-Term Stock Exchange launched, offering companies a different path. Requiring participating companies to accept a set of principles and standards, LTSE hopes to support and enable long-term companies and founders.

Hear from Eric Ries, the founder and CEO of Long-Term Stock Exchange on why LTSE is needed and what leaders can do to institutionalize their long-term intentions.

Join B Local Georgia and Conscious Capitalism Atlanta for a networking and inspirational story telling session.

All companies have a culture. Not all companies intentionally develop a culture that promotes their values and purpose.

Business cultures are as unique as the people who comprise them. Conscious cultures represent the values, principles, and practices that create the social fabric of a business. They connect stakeholders to each other as well as to the purpose, people, and processes of the company. Conscious cultures feel different and they drive much different business results.

Join Conscious Capitalism-Kansas City as we present our first in-person event in more than a year. We are featuring TVH Parts Co. and the tenet of conscious culture!
• Tour TVH and see a conscious culture in action
• Hear from Jennifer Miller on how TVH builds and cultivates their culture every day
• Identify the 7 traits of a conscious culture and start implementing them in your business

Don’t miss this opportunity see a core tenet of Conscious Capitalism applied inside a global company!

Values unite organizations by telling others what is most important and cherished above everything else. At WD-40 Company the number one value is, “We value doing the right thing.” Building on that core principle, means seeking the right actions, asking critical questions, and being honest in both word and deed. At WD-40 Company, each value is given context to bring clarity to inform behavior and guide priorities.

Garry will share how the WD-40 tribe has articulated its values to govern the way choices and decisions are made. The results have delivered employee engagement over 93% , unlocked innovative new products, and quadrupled sales over the past 20 years.

Business as a Force for Good event where we celebrate profitable, purpose driven businesses in our community. Network with friends, learn about the movement and leave inspired to implement conscious business practices inside your organization and team.

This event is open to online and in-person attendees. There will be networking opportunities for both groups.  We look forward to connecting with you in whatever way works best. 

In July our deep dive into the four tenets of Conscious Capitalism continues with a conversation about Stakeholder Orientation. Join Tara Jenkins, co-founder of our Chapter and Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultant, for an informative session about the meaning of Stakeholder Orientation and how to incorporate this tenet into the way you work. You’ll leave with a much better understanding of Stakeholder Orientation and the start of your own stakeholder map!

Corporations are only as good as the people they have and the purpose that those individuals are committed to. When organizations clarify values and what they truly standfor, they build workplaces where employees and employers thrive. Only then, can a business maximize the potential of employee assistance programs, focus on mentalhealth, manage healthcare costs, launch a mentorship-based employee resource group for marginalized groups and carry out other important initiatives. When leadership isliving out their values, they can develop employee skills through education that will expand opportunities for team members who will move up or even leave the company andcontribute to society in other meaningful ways (and leadership will cheer them on!). When you build talent in an equitable workplace, you build a thriving, healthy organization.

For Chipotle, listening to over 88,000 employees takes patience, but yields invaluable perspective that fuels profit. Join Marissa Andrada, Chief Diversity, Inclusion & PeopleOfficer, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Dev Patnaik, CEO, Jump Associates, and CCI Board Member in conversation as they share Chipotle’s people-centered initiatives and theways they have contributed to the success of the company.

Conscious Capitalism provides a framework to support business leaders grow as conscious leaders while they elevate humanity through good, ethical, and noble business practices. Join us as Andrew Rauch, VP Growth Improving-Austin and CC-Austin Board Director and a panel of local Senior Business Leaders discuss their approach discovering and amplifying conscious leadership.

Conscious Capitalism is dedicated to elevating humanity through business. One aspect of elevating humanity is to create a greater feeling of belonging for more people. It’s not only good for humanity. It’s also good for business. Businesses that create a culture of belonging benefit from a 50% reduction in turnover, a 56% increase in job performance, and millions of dollars in savings each year. So, as a business leader, how do you create a culture of belonging in your company?

In this session, H3Diversity founder, Kim Manns, will talk with Co-Founder and CEO of Verb, Suzi Sosa, about the business of belonging – what it is, how conscious leadership creates belonging, and why it’s needed not just to elevate humanity but also to strengthen a business.

Just like physical fitness has provided a proactive preventative strategy to support higher levels of physical health. Mental fitness is similar to physical fitness in understanding the interventions, activities and strategies that support employees overall mental health and wellbeing. Mental fitness is about prevention and promotion to motivate individuals and organization to regularly practice positive mental health activities for long period of times. The longer one commits to practicing positive mental health activities the more mentally fit an employee is within the workplace.

Join us for an interactive discussion about the four pillars of conscious capitalism: purpose, stakeholder, culture and leadership and how leading with purpose drives sustainable business growth. Given how fast this movement is growing (through Sustainability, ESG, CSR), there’s strong interest and motivation in learning more about these principles and their impact on everything from business performance, to engaging employees, to fostering leaders who seek to elevate humanity through good, ethical, and noble business practices.

Please join us for our Sr Business Leader Forum on Wednesday, September 29th from 9-10:30 AM! 

Guest speakers will be: Michael Harth, CCSD Board Director and Chief Culture Officer & Founder LAZ Parking, and Theresa Carrington, Founder Ten by Three.

Theresa will share her story of growing up in poverty, and how she leans on that experience to use business as a powerful force for good.  Michael and Theresa will discuss how she has empowered thousands of impoverished people in developing countries to use their own story to exit poverty. 

Conscious Capitalism exists as a framework for organizations to create meaning, making models that are aligned with the goal of acting as a conscious business. Each of the 4 pillars can be challenging in how to determine and define success to see how your business is living into the goal of being a Conscious Business. Andrew Rauch, CC Austin Board Director and VP of Growth Improving Nearshore and Mark Kovacevich, President of North American Enterprises for Improving will share what Improving has done to create a measurable, actionable, and consistent method to evaluate how your business is acting in a conscious manner.
