Dear Conscious Capitalists,
As we progress through 2024, our commitment to building a community of conscious leaders has never been stronger.
At the 2023 CEO Summit last October, we announced our long-range vision of activating and engaging 10 million conscious leaders. This moonshot is our boldest aspiration in Conscious Capitalism transcending the ordinary. and redefining the limits of possibility. It epitomizes purpose-driven business, unleashing boundless potential and reminding us of remarkable achievements yet to come.
Since January, we have made significant strides in expanding our influence. Our journey is well underway, and we are deeply committed to growing our community. This effort begins within, leveraging our valuable assets: our dedicated community of consultants and coaches, our diverse programs and events, and the initiatives of our partners and chapters.
With the support of our community, we partnered with our Dallas Chapter and conscious partners — Improving, The Loomis Agency, LJBCPA, and XChange — to host the Spring Conference. This event fostered learning and collaboration for all 300 attendees. We were inspired by remarkable women leaders such as Lynne Twist (Pachamama), Sam Horn (Intrigue Agency), Miki Agrawal (Hiro), Carolyn Sakstrup (Thrivent), and Neha Sangwan (Intuitive Intelligence) who led discussions on mental health. Founders John Mackey(WholeFoods, Love.life) shared “The Whole Story,” and Raj Sisodia highlighted the significant impact of Conscious Capitalism. Rand Stagen (Stagen Academy)advocated for a more ethical and sustainable capitalism benefiting both businesses and society.
To further our mission, earlier this month, we launched our new membership program opening the doors to 100 founding members who are helping shape a new community to drive positive change in the business world. We’re excited to share that we sold out in less than 48 hours and cannot wait to see the powerful relationships forged through this network.
Our reach continues to expand through our Virtual Gatherings which regularly attract over 200 participants eager to hear from conscious business and thought leaders. These sessions offer invaluable stories, insights into the impact of Conscious Capitalism, and both tactical and transformational takeaways.
Additionally, we are bringing the Conscious Capitalist(™) podcast under the Conscious Capitalism umbrella, where it belongs. This integration allows us to highlight the work of amazing leaders across our growing platforms, reaching more than 5,000 listeners per episode.
Our global network of Chapters and our dedicated community of business leaders are essential to expanding the reach of Conscious Capitalism at the local level. Through their local programming and events, we are driving engagement and fostering a deeper understanding of our philosophy. Conscious Capitalism DC hosted a meeting in June with DC-area executives to discuss the importance of addressing mental health in the workplace. On the west coast, Conscious Capitalism San Diego organized two Dinners On Purpose™ to raise awareness and interest in our mission to elevate humanity through business. Together, we are creating a future where businesses operate with a higher purpose and conscious leadership.
We are so excited about our marquee event, the 2024 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit! We are bringing 250 CEO’s together to explore and share the principles of Conscious Capitalism, strategies, and best practices to create sustainable success leading to systemic change and impact in the business world. We are finalizing this years world-class keynote speakers and thought leaders that include Pete Stavros (KKR), Vincent Stanley (Patagonia), and Roosevelt Giles. This year’s interactive presentations and panel discussions include hybrid capital, mental health and longevity, and AI through the lens of a conscious leader providing practical advice and tools deepening networking opportunities for leaders to share experiences, and learn from each other.
We are so excited about our journey ahead and the opportunities to amplify our impact. Thank you for being part of this vibrant community and for your unwavering commitment to Conscious Capitalism.
With passion and purpose. Karen
