Welcome to the Conscious Consulting Podcast, we are so glad you are here with us today!  In this episode the CCG Team explores the question how the relationship between generations will shape the future of work. What separates and unites generations? How to overcome the gaps and transform tensions into innovation? And what teachings from wisdom traditions could help us to co-create a productive collaboration? 

In the next 30 minutes we take you on a deep and wide journey, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

In this episode Julia Culen talks about the VUCA World, which can be rather disempowering - until we decide to look deeper and wider. It’s a VUCA world and we like it, because we choose to see the potential and possibility within a given context. A context we don’t necessarily would chose or particularly like but one we can’t change. One of Victor Frankl’s key teaching is the insight, that freedom lies in our choice how we respond to a certain given context. Like everything, a context is not a fixed thing but open to interpretation and a combination of an external situation and how we see it and respond to it.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a new episode of the Conscious Consulting Podcast. 

What will the future of work look like, in relationship with ourselves, nature and machines?

We at CCG witnessed many developments and hypes in leadership firsthand - many of them led to misunderstandings about what leaders should do, how leaders should run their organization, and shall behave in front of their people. We call this these “Myths in Leadership”. Those misunderstandings no longer serve the original idea, the purpose of the organization and the people working in the organization. 

In this podcast we introduce the 3 main myths of Leadership, that we meet over and over again and unpack them from our point of view.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a new episode on the Conscious Consulting Podcast. 

In our new series „CCG Advisors on“ we explore trending topics with our Senior Advisors and enrich current conversations from diverse backgrounds like Psychotherapy, Daoism, Holism, Buddhism, Modern Science and Business. 

In this episode we will explore one of the most discussed phenomenas of our current time: Narcissism. Narcissism is a term often used in anecdotes about people who post too many selfies on social media. But a real narcissistic personality disorder is more than just overconfidence. Severe narcissism can be harmful for the people around as it often leads to an emotionally abusive and toxic environment. The harsh truth is that narcissists can be everywhere from close friends, family members and oftentimes co-workers and C-Level executives. Often, especially in the workplace, avoiding a narcissist is not an option, so how can we cope with this toxicity and even find our way to make peace with it? 

In our conversation about narcissism you will hear different perspectives and experiences on how narcissism develops, how to detect a narcissist, how to deal with them in your direct environment, if there is hope for healing and if you can even have a good relationship with a narcissist.

Today we are excited to share a conversation with Carol Sanford, a speaker, author and former Consultant who has recently been added to the Top Conscious Company Leaders List. She calls herself a Regenerative Educator that doesn’t advise people on what to think but how to think. With her key principles of regenerative thinking Carol Sanford helps us to find a new consulting approach and paradigm for a new era.

In this conversation Carol shares with us why she calls herself Educator rather than Consultant, how Consultants can work fully aligned with what they stand for and how regenerative thinking can make a tremendous impact in the world.

So sit back, relax and enjoy a wonderful new episode of the Conscious Consulting Podcast.

We believe that business can and will be a key driver for positive change in our society and environment. There is an emergent movement of conscious entrepreneurs and business leaders, who are committed to creating what we call „regenerative businesses“. We are excited to have one of these new-era organizations here on the podcast with us. Julia Culen is in conversation with Ben Smits and Manuela Achitz, an Australian-Austrian couple who have left the corporate world to create a business that is designed from scratch around the needs of people, planet, and society. Together they founded EFFEKT - FOOTWEAR, a company that turns rubbish into sneakers. In this conversation, Manuela and Ben talk about how they came up with the idea to make shoes out of rubbish, why the world needs more regenerative businesses, and how to build up a company that can do good and well at the same time.
