As a leader, you already know that designing DEI initiatives that have a measurable impact is imperative. However, you also know that the path toward an anti-racist, purpose-driven culture is riddled with potential pitfalls that can lead to DEI programs that are, at best, ineffective or, at worst, harmful. Throwing more money at the same old programs and initiatives will not lead to achieving racial equity or addressing anti-Black racism, and will result in a failure to uphold the promises and pledges made in the summer of 2020. So, where do you go from here?This book goes beyond general DEI approaches that shy away from addressing racial equity. It provides concrete examples and targeted questions that will enable leaders to effectively assess their current racial equity work and devise a course of action to take their racial equity efforts to the next level while avoiding common pitfalls.
This book provides practical exercises and principles for you to master strategies for high-level communication. You will learn empathic listening skills, conflict resolution skills, and ways of assertion that align with the principles rooted in your spiritual truth. This book shows you how to be in more honest satisfying relationships, deepen self-awareness, and learn how to live a life of purposeful action. You will be guided to recognize patterns of assumptions by which you've been living your life, and to replace unhealthy and ineffective belief systems with truths and principles rooted in your core spiritual identity. Through processes of courageous introspection described in this book, you are empowered to connect with what is vitally important, and live with intentionality to manifest your highest purpose while helping others do the same. Relationships that work begin with the relationship with our self. On the first page, we distinguish the self from the body. To cite Teilhard de Chardin, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." The process of reading this book is meant to facilitate a connection with your authentic personality-the spiritual core that is not defined by any role you play or possessions attached to your name. As confirmed by the great wisdom traditions, this consciousness is the foundation for a life of peaceful existence, powerful vision and purposeful action. Living from truly spiritual consciousness, our qualities of compassion, vitality and love naturally radiate. Cultivate mastery of the methods of transformative communication and you will possess the currency to express the richness of your soul in every situation and to create relationships that work.

The global population in early 2023 already exceeded 8 billion. This represents a population increase of near 6 billion people since the end of World War II. Assume that most of us want to eat healthy meals, raise families, have a place to call our own and enjoy a reasonably peaceful retirement. How is this possible when more of our agricultural land is disappearing because of urbanisation, when climate change is reducing agricultural output, when more of our drinking water is contaminated and when our soil is becoming more toxic? Were you ever concerned how the loss of habitats could affect the planet's biodiversity and how the ongoing destruction of our forests, the melting of glaciers and ice caps, the depletion of our huge aquifers and the extinctions of many species, including our pollinators, would affect life on earth? Oil, gas and many minerals are harder to get to while at the same time the demand for it keeps increasing. What causes overpopulation, how will it affect us and what can we do to ensure that planet earth will also be here to provide for us tomorrow? If these topics and related are of interest to you, then you should read this book.
