Conscious Business of the Week: The Conscious Business Institute

“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.“  Albert Einstein

As the results of the old limited approach to business, leadership and finance become glaringly obvious, a new level of thinking, leading and conducting business is being summoned.  And as we move forward in developing our new, sustainable approach to business, it is becoming clear to many that the sustainability of a company as a whole goes hand in hand with individual sustainability.

The Conscious Business Institute (CBI) is one of the pioneering businesses that has emerged out of this call to move into a new way of being and thinking around business, finance and our selves.  Recognizing the current dissatisfaction amongst much of our labor force and the longing for inspiring, engaging work, CBI is helping businesses and leaders embrace conscious business practices that will ignite greater power, commitment and long-term sustainability inside and out and transform our business climate worldwide.

The Conscious Business Institute:  Creating Successful Companies in a Meaningful Way

Business leaders today are meeting never before confronted challenges and opportunities; emerging international competition, global financial and environmental crises and a prolific sense of insecurity amongst employees, customers and partners.  These novel dilemmas are a result of old leadership models that are proving to be obsolete.

The Conscious Business Institute is showing to be a guiding force for leaders that have discovered that inspiring greater integrity, responsibility, communication and peak performance all the way through the business chain – from executives and shareholders to employees and partner organizations – is key not only in the survival of the business but for its triumph.

Founded and developed by Peter Matthies, a long-time highly successful venture capitalist, CBI supports professionals, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in building such inspiring, sustainable and effective companies. Based on his decades of experience in finance, turnaround management and leadership development, CBI aims to help companies combine financial success with a high level of personal engagement, fulfillment and well-being.

As stated enthusiastically on the CBI website, “Quite simply [we do this because] we want to enjoy our work. We have become bored by the traditional ways of conducting business. We decided to play with people who have the courage to pursue what really matters to them. We engage with organizations and individuals that are at a point of insight in their life to conduct business in a more honest, courageous, authentic and inspiring way – in a way that is not based on the old model of dominance and subservience, but on a model that engages people on a deeper level.”

Through his extensive real-world business experience and profound understanding of human nature, Peter has developed innovative conscious business methodologies and frameworks for building organizations that engage all stakeholders on a deeper level and provide greater meaning for all. CBI’s programs aim to provide tangible, systematic practices, strategies, mentoring and coaching to vitalize businesses and enhance personal and professional success.

Their extensive list of programs reflect their intention to transform business from the inside out.  They offer individual programs for entrepreneurs and executives as well as group programs for small to mid-sized businesses, HR managers, organizations and trainers.  Programs offered include management consulting, leadership development, executive briefings & coaching and personal mentoring, all of which address the personal, team and business levels.

As Matthies says, “We find that close to 90% of our workforce is disengaged. They are yearning for a way to work and live where they can not only engage their body and mind, but also their emotions, their spirit and their authentic personality. The challenge for today’s leaders is to provide an environment that allows for such a deep engagement.”

Matthies and his partners are experts in the field of financial, organizational and personal development.  Pragmatic visionaries, they are clear in that they are not about “feel-good exercises” or offering quick-fix solutions.  They go to the core of organizational issues to resolve them from the inside out.  They assist in clarifying and achieving desired results, provide leaders and businesses with novel ways to live and conduct business that are value and vision driven, improve the personal performance of executives and employees and assist in developing authentic communication, trust and engagement amongst all.

Next Generation Leadership Today

CBI believes that conscious business today requires authentic leaders who are of service to the business, its people and the community; Leaders, who inspire an environment for personal and organizational growth by modeling authenticity and strength.  Leaders who are aware of the impact their actions have on their employees, partners, community and environment.  Leaders who are honest, open to learning in service of the greater good and desire to conduct business in a conscious business way.

Such are the leaders of the future so needed today to transform our global climate.  And the Conscious Business Institute is one of the many innovative companies that is clearly helping facilitate the way.
