Events

We are pleased to invite you to our next Conscious Capitalist social event. The event will take place on April 4th from 5:30pm-7pm at Masthead Brewery. This will be a great opportunity for our conscious community to connect and network with each other in a relaxed and informal setting.

We hope you can join us for an enjoyable evening of conversation and connection. Light appetizers will be provided. Cash bar will be available.

Stakeholder Orientation is a key part of any Conscious Capitalist’s business, but at times stakeholders can have competing interests. Finding alignment and creating the perfect balance is a delicate task. During this process it’s important to consider the immediate first-order impacts of a decision, the long-term second-order impacts, and how each affects all stakeholders.

At this Virtual Gathering, Victor Cho, board member and former CEO of Evite, will share his framework of the “Fourth Stakeholder”, which he defines as broader society, which must be considered along with the other three (customers, employees, and shareholders). Victor will explore how this framework can be used to evaluate whether a company is a net positive for society and discuss how to strike a balance between competing stakeholder interests to drive employee engagement and retention while still delivering results to shareholders. He also plans to infuse conversations about AI and how it impacts stakeholders.

A great night of trivia with the theme of good business.

Transform your own workplace effectiveness by valuing every person as unique, whether you lead two people or two hundred thousand.

In today’s world, consumers are increasingly looking for more than just quality products and services from businesses. They want to support companies that align with their values and contribute positively to society and the environment. This is where conscious businesses come in. Conscious businesses are those that are driven by a higher purpose beyond just profit, and are committed to creating value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and the wider community.

If you’re a business owner or leader who wants to create a conscious business model that embodies your values and makes a positive impact, this event is for you. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to define your conscious purpose and develop a business model that aligns with it. You’ll also discover how to integrate your values into your business practices and decision-making processes.

Senior business leaders are often seen as the “brain” of a company. Much like a human brain, leaders can be trained to reframe challenges and overcome obstacles with a “neuro-based” approach. This training will allow you to become a more efficient and confident leader capable of tackling a wider breadth of challenges.

In this Virtual Gathering, Lindsay Harle-Kadatz and Stefan Herbst, who combine for 40+ years of experience in marketing, IT security, and consulting, will be sharing scientifically-based strategies to take actions that align with your values and support finding your business’s Higher Purpose. They will also share insights and tips from leaders who have put these approaches into action and help you understand how to maximize results.

Conscious Capitalists believe that businesses can and should be a source of good in the world, creating value for all stakeholders.

Opportunity for stakeholders at all levels to connect, learn, and act.

Senior Leadership Breakfast

In partnership with Jon Berghoff, founder of XCHANGE, and our official design and facilitation partner for the Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit, we are excited to offer an experiential introduction to Unlocking Potential at Scale through Conscious Facilitation.

Join us on May 12th, from 10am – 12pm PT / 1pm-3 pm ET, to learn how to design and facilitate group experiences that are truly transformational and create lasting change.

You’ll discover how to use the XCHANGE operating system and the power of questions and conversational choreographies to increase safety and belonging so that you can create the greatest impact possible in the group experiences you lead, including meetings, retreats, trainings, strategic planning sessions and other company events.

This 2-hour interactive workshop is designed to help you take your group facilitation skills to the next level. 

The business world is full of good leaders looking to create an impact. To build healthy and impactful businesses, leaders need to break from conventional models and think differently about how their organizations operate. Innovative frameworks and models can help leaders create environments that make a difference, where people are engaged, challenged, and supported, and where purpose, soul, and meaning are present. 

In this Virtual Gathering Greg Harmeyer, CEO of TiER1 Performance Solutions and TiER1 Impact, will combine philosophy and practice to help remove barriers for leaders and how to shift the paradigm to better enable Conscious Leadership. Greg will explore the themes of employee ownership, honest profit, and how to navigate legal and ethical concerns in business.

Let’s discuss and build a plan to kickstart to Conscious Capitalism at your organization.

Radical Business: The Root of Your Work and How It Can Change the World

Special event, co-sponsored by our chapter.

Business leaders define and measure impact to reflect a commitment to purpose, strategy, and stakeholder. The commitment  to define and present data, metrics, and analysis that illustrate the performance in areas such as sustainability, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, and ethical business practices requires rigor and often operational changes.

The 2023 Vital Farms Impact Report is exemplary of a stakeholder-first approach. The report outlines their short and medium-term goals that are grounded in their purpose to improve the lives of people, animals, and the planet through food. Through their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy and results-driven, holistic approach to positive change the report showcases investments in crew, innovation with farms, and progress for the environment and communities, support for customers, and delivery on their commitment to shareholders with solid 2022 financial results.

In this Virtual Gathering, Andrea Chu, Director of Environmental, Social, and Governance at Vital Farms will share how the company defined and measured their goals and presented their impact in a comprehensive data-driven report. Learn how to create and formalize an effective strategy that drives positive impact from how one of the few publicly traded, certified B-Corps, committed to raising the standards in the food industry.

Conscious Approach to Healthcare

Practical Tools to Improve Communication and Relationships

Conscious Capitalism business event featuring the Conscious Leadership tenet in practice at conversational intelligence company Authenticx

As many of us remember, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical weaknesses in our global supply chain. With 90 percent of the world’s products spending time on diesel-powered cargo ships before ending up in consumers’ hands, gaps in the supply chain, along with necessary and increasing environmental regulations, put a spotlight on the maritime transportation industry. Many efforts have been made to overhaul cargo ships over the years, but none have been successful in shifting the industry from a “fast and cheap is best” mindset to a “better is better” conscious approach. 

Enter Danielle Southcott, CEO of Veer Group. Through Danielle’s disruptive and innovative leadership, Veer is building the world’s first clean container ships that eliminate the use of fossil fuels by combining innovative sail designs and green hydrogen. By creating a shipping solution that exceeds regulatory standards set forth by the United Nations and partnering with stakeholders who support the maritime economy, Veer is garnering the attention of big business and stands to reshape the future of the ocean transport industry.

In this Virtual Gathering, Danielle will share her personal story — which includes learning to sail at age 13 to being named by the Royal Institute of Naval Architects as one of the most influential women of the last century — how she came to found Veer Group, her tips for making innovative waves in business, and the importance of aligning stakeholders and staying grounded in your purpose. 

A Discussion on Conscious Leadership in an AI-Enabled World

This is a 4 part series, deep diving and learning together how the Healing Organization shows us how it can be done and implemented!

Volunteer with us at the Atlanta Community Food Bank!

Are you ready to lend a helping hand and make a positive impact on your community? Join us for our next Conscious Tuesday event on July 11 to volunteer with the Atlanta Community Food Bank! Come meet like-minded leaders in the community while doing good.

At Atlanta Community Food Bank, they believe that every person deserves access to nutritious food. Unfortunately, hunger remains a pressing issue for many families and individuals in our city. But by coming together and giving our time, we can make a real difference.

Dress Code: Closed-toe closed-heel shoes are always required, with sneakers or work boots recommended.

This is a 4 part series, deep diving and learning together how the Healing Organization shows us how it can be done and implemented!

In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Dom Farnan had no choice but to reflect and heal. From the outside, it looked like everything was perfectly okay, but it became harder and harder for her to ignore what was really happening in her inner life. By working with a coach, she started the difficult journey of addressing the depression and toxicity in her life that had made her disengaged from the world around her. By making a conscious effort to shift her thoughts and take action, she was able to change her life in a way that positively impacted everything she did, including her business.

 Join Conscious Capitalism for a Virtual Gathering where Dom, author of Now Here, will share how she pursued her own healing journey, how doing the “inner work” is what brings the idea that “Conscious Leadership is an inside job” to life, and how taking similar steps in your personal and professional journey can supercharge your company’s conscious culture — and, in turn, help yourself and your team experience exponential growth.

 As the Founder and CEO of DotConnect, a recruiting firm, Dom will also explain what Conscious Hiring means, how to unlock the opportunities this approach can bring, the price of getting the hiring process wrong, and tangible examples her company has experienced as a result of her personal healing. 

Who are your stakeholders? Your customers? Your board? Partners, employees, suppliers? If you included employees on your list, what order of priority did you give them?

For years, most business leaders, academics, and business schools have subscribed to the belief that business exists solely for the good of the shareholder — in short, to maximize profits at all costs. As Tiffani Bova writes in her newly released book, The Experience Mindset, “therein lies the rub.” As the Global Customer Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, Tiffani has expertise in how businesses must have a holistic commitment to Stakeholder Orientation but focus on the employee experience to be successful — not just profit or customers as has been believed for so long.

In this Virtual Gathering hosted by Conscious Capitalism, Tiffani will help us understand how employee attrition rates are often negatively impacted by an overemphasis on customer experience, dive into exclusive research from Salesforce that demonstrates perspectives from employees and C-Suite executives alike, and share advice for learning a new operating mentality that will help you balance customer and employee needs in the decision-making process to magnify growth. 

TiER1 Performance invites you to join them and the Cincinnati Chapter on July 25, 2023 for the launch of Greg Harmeyer’s new book.

Join CCNEO for light food & drinks, and learn how to get more involved the remainder of the year!

Atif Rafiq, author of the newly released book Decision Sprint, believes that a conscious, collaborative, team-based approach to problem-solving is one of the greatest shifts business has seen in recent years. While studying group dynamics, particularly in business settings, Atif identified a gap between the intentions behind  purpose, vision, and strategy and taking actionable steps towards achieving those objectives. 

Atif posed the question, “How do we — leaders and teams — traverse the space between objective and results?” His answer: Decision Sprint. 

In this Virtual Gathering, Atif will guide us through his decision-making framework that helps businesses of every size and team members at every level get from Point A to Point B and harness the power that exists each step of the way. He will share examples of how companies like Amazon, McDonald’s, Volvo, and MGM Resorts — all companies where Atif has held executive and c-suite roles —  have benefited from Decision Sprint and how you can, too. From exploring the untapped potential of unknowns to leveraging and aligning diverse perspectives to reach the best solutions to employing the “upstream work” method, you will learn how to commit to the necessary actions to move your business forward in a way that supports collaboration and building a Conscious Culture.

A Discussion on Conscious Leadership in an AI-Enabled World

Join the Conscious Capitalism Kansas City chapter for coffee and conversation!

Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking panel discussion that delves into the pitfalls of performative DEI

The term “artificial intelligence” (AI), which involves computer systems performing tasks historically done by humans, has been around for decades. 

Today, our society is at the cusp of what may become the most transformational technological shift in our history as a species — the incorporation of AI into how we live and work day-to-day. From healthcare to law, aerospace to manufacturing — even consumer products and services like the latest show Neflix recommended just for you  — AI has the momentum to revolutionize nearly every industry. 

With all the benefits that AI can provide, like improving worker efficiency and uncovering valuable insights that inform both operational and strategic decisions, it is essential for businesses to explore opportunities for use and also anticipate the potential disruptions AI might bring across industries and stakeholders.

In this Virtual Gathering, Victor Cho, CEO of EmovidAI (a new video AI company) and previous CEO of Evite, will discuss the disruptive nature of this evolving technology — the good and the bad — and provide simple yet powerful frameworks to help you navigate AI’s unpredictable future.

Whether you are in a field that is actively using AI, considering investing in this technology so that your business stays ahead of the curve, or just curious to know more about how AI shows up in our everyday lives already, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

Join us on Friday, September 22 at 7:30 am at Gibson’s Bar and Steakhouse on Rush for breakfast and insightful conversation with our special guests.

We often say that Conscious Leadership is an inside job, but that can have different meanings for each leader. Raj Sisodia, co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement and author of the newly released book Awaken, advocates that when leaders heal their past traumas, discover and connect with their purpose, and leverage those insights to amplify positive impact, their businesses thrive. Bob Anderson, co-founder of Leadership Circle, approaches leadership development through rigorous, research-driven assessments that uncover “leadership intelligence” to help leaders function from a place of creativity versus reactivity, allowing them to transform their businesses. 

Join us for an engaging Virtual Gathering where two of the top leaders in organizational development will discuss the intersection of self-discovery and mastering leadership and the profound connection their methods play in creating a truly conscious business. Gain valuable insights into why Conscious Leadership, no matter how a leader interprets or pursues it, is essential for creating successful businesses that can scale, overcome challenges, and generate exceptional outcomes.

Megatrends, such as technological growth, climate change, and an aging population, have the power to transform the global economy and reshape society and our day-to-day lives in profound ways. Mauro Guillén, the renowned author of 2030, contends that traditional generational labels, like Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, have confined us into predefined categories to the detriment of individuals realizing their full potential and hindering business outcomes.

In this Virtual Gathering, Mauro will detail his solution: The Perennials. In his most recent book of the same title, Mauro describes the perennials as a post-generational workforce where people are not categorized solely based on age or experience. He suggests that a shift in how we perceive age in the workplace can dissolve the limitations of looking at life from a linear perspective, allowing everyone, no matter their age, to build a fulfilling, purposeful life. 

Mauro will explain how this generational shift is already impacting areas such as the workforce, education, and culture. He will delve into how the new era of the perennials promises to bring innovation, purpose, and broad societal — and economic — transformation. Lastly, he will provide recommendations for how business leaders can use this generational revolution to their advantage by expanding their target markets, creating inclusive workplaces, hiring for varied skill sets, and more.
