Ennobling Business for Success: Inspire * Ignite * Influence

The soul of an organization is the character of that organization. From that organizational character stems the behaviors, values, and actions that drives the organizational economic engine. Since excellence is a habit demonstrated by consistent behavior, the human capital attraction and development becomes the new frontier of organizational excellence.The insights and lived experiences of 14 international professionals and authors are featured as a roadmap for organizational transformation at this pivotal time.

Significant Women: Leaders Reveal What Matters Most
(Multi-Author Anthology)
Most leadership books written for women today either advise us to lean in, speak up, and demand more. They are filled with tactical advice on everything from where to position yourself in the board room to how to negotiate a total compensation package.
However, very few leadership books start with the simple question – What matters to you? Who are you? What do you care about? What makes you an effective leader?
In Karen’s chapter, called “The Beauty of Detours”, she explores the pros and cons of making plans versus staying open to opportunities and seizing them. “The Beauty of Detours” will challenge you to rethink your priorities and your plans, and see the detours in life as gifts of possibility instead of obstacles to overcome.
The X-FACTOR: The Spiritual Secrets Behind Successful Executives & Entrepreneurs
(Multi-Author Anthology)
What if presence, connection, and love were the hallmarks of the very best corporate leaders? What if trust, courage, and joy were cultivated throughout the workplace? What if your work was the playground for spiritual growth and personal expansion?
With trust in corporate leadership at an all-time low, we are in the midst of a great spiritual awakening. Corporate executives and entrepreneurs who can tap into their spiritual nature will thrive.
Karen’s chapter is called “Of Boxes and Boundaries: How My Spiritual Journey Taught Me to Break Free of Boxes and Live within Boundaries”. She shares her experience with limiting beliefs and restrictive rules that minimized both her potential and her growth. She reveals key turning points in her life that reconnected her to her spiritual path and the boundaries that it provided.
Those boundaries, rather than keeping her in other people’s boxes, helped her to claim her freedom and her potential to soar.
