In "Conscious Business," Fred Kofman unveils the transformative power of awareness in the corporate world, guiding leaders and individuals alike towards a more enlightened mode of operation. Kofman, with his extensive experience consulting for tech giants like Google and Microsoft, distills the essence of conscious leadership into practical wisdom, illuminating the path to success through integrity, responsibility, and emotional intelligence. This groundbreaking book challenges readers to transcend conventional business practices, advocating for a culture where empathy and personal growth catalyze professional achievement. Through a series of compelling narratives and real-world examples, Kofman demonstrates how cultivating consciousness not only elevates individuals but can also be the cornerstone of organizational resilience and innovation. At its heart, "Conscious Business" is an invitation to redefine success in the workplace, moving beyond profit margins to embrace a broader vision of purpose and fulfillment.

To change a culture, the leaders have to change the messages people receive about what they must do to fit in. When people understand that there are new requirements for belonging, they adjust their behavior accordingly. Cultural change starts with a new set of messages. Culture-changing communication is nonverbal—the “doing” rather than the “saying”—and comes most vividly from leadership behaviors. The behavior of leaders exemplifies what people with power—and those who aspire to have it—are supposed to do. A small change in a senior manager’s behavior can send a big message.
