Today, George interviewed Joel Levey, of InnerWork Technologies, Inc., about his thoughts on A Golden Civilization and the Map of Mindfulness.
Joel opens the conversation by citing Einstein’s notion that we are not going to find solutions to complex problems at the same level of consciousness that created those problems and suggesting that with leadership gaps in business that currently exist, there is a real need for deeper wisdom in the world. This leads to a thought-provoking conversation about wisdom, mindfulness, authenticity, fiduciary, and corporate priorities. Joel also mentions a line from the book, “if we want a civilization that is universal reaching out into all realms, we must start with profound respect for all living beings.”
Joel is co-founder with his wife Michelle of Seattle-based InnerWork Technologies, Inc., a firm that specializes in developing and renewing organizational cultures in which team spirit, community, creative intelligence, life-work balance, and inspired leadership can thrive. The Leveys serve on the national advisory board for the Institute for Health and Productivity Management as Chairpersons for the Center for Corporate Culture and Organizational Health. Over the past 25 years they have worked with over 200 leading organizations, many medical centers, professional organizations, world class and Olympic prize winning athletes, community service and youth groups. As faculty for ICOD (International Center for Organization Design), the International Institute for Innovation, the Performance Edge, and members of the World Business Academy, their work with change strategy teams from large organizations focuses on building synergy between personal, professional and organizational change, creativity and development.
