Program Description: Whether you're an hourly employee, owner of a small business, or C.E.O. of a large corporation, your work can be your greatest source of stress and aggravation-or it can be an enriching, enlightening part of your life. Jeff Klein's work is one of his greatest sources of joy, and he's made it his vocation to help others find ways to bring real consciousness to the jobs they do every day. He tells fascinating stories of successful entrepreneurs, who bring a rare brand of connection to their businesses, and suggestions for how you can deepen the mindfulness you bring to your own workday. He explains, "When you recognize that work and business are spiritual paths, paths for growth and development for yourself and others and relationship, then every day, every challenge, every opportunity, every passage changes you in some way. It deepens your awareness. It deepens your embodiment. It deepens your ability to connect. It deepens your ability to collaborate. It deepens your ability to build an awesome business."
Jeff Klein is C.E.O. of Cause Alliance Marketing, which specializes in blending social issues and business objectives of its clients, and co-founder and president of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., a nonprofit that works to liberate the entrepreneurial spirit for good works.
