From his energy-based approach to interior design and his appearances on HGTV, readers familiar with Cary Weldy will appreciate this new offering, in which Weldy speaks to the business community. Businesses have often run under the assumption that efficiency and productivity automatically equal success, measured solely in terms of profit. In this competitive paradigm, values must take second place, leading to the stereotype of the corporation as a soulless place. In this ground-breaking book, Cary Weldy moves beyond ?synergy? to a model of business that focuses on the whole person. Take care of people, unleash their creativity, and innovation will follow. A new corporate mindset, one that is socially and environmentally conscious, now takes root around the world, leading to a better working environment, and, ultimately, a better world. Weldy takes readers on a journey through this change in consciousness, discussing the theory and the practice of bringing spiritual values into business.

The book discusses the spiritual evolution we are witnessing on the planet, and how it is affecting companies, both large and small. It discusses the importance of embodying spiritual values in a workplace setting, and how the profits will follow. A reader will learn how to move from fear to love, the power of simplicity, how to use intuition for guidance, and the importance of moving from goals into flow and process. Cary also discusses the challenges and importance of diversity, and a new paradigm for leadership, providing examples of the template for our new emerging leaders. Readers can also learn many practical ways that some companies are already doing to create a new workplace environment geared for truly taking care of its employees, including offering massage therapy services, meditation classes, and the use of aromatherapy to increase productivity.
