Revolutionizing Corporate America: The Consciousness Upgrade Initiative

Welcome to a crucial discussion that promises to revolutionize your understanding of what's wrong with Corporate America!

I'm your host, Angela Marie Christian, and today, I'm revealing an innovative concept - the Corporate Consciousness Upgrade Initiative. This initiative is an urgent call to action, aiming at overhauling the current corporate landscape to prioritize employee satisfaction, reduce turnover rates, and rethink our traditional fear of finances.

As we move forward, we'll dissect the importance of adopting holistic strategies in businesses, where employees are as important as clients. Let's challenge the status quo together, exploring the stark differences between 3D and 5D business approaches (listen to the episode to understand what this means).

Stay connected as we debunk the 5 day work week myth and reflect on the advantages of a four-day work week. With the pandemic serving as a glaring reminder of work-life balance, it's high time we encourage company leaders to foster a nurturing environment that prioritizes society's welfare and mental health.

Let's make Corporate America a thriving and transforming place to be, one step at a time!

My name is Angela Marie Christian and my mission is to help entrepreneurs and thought leaders rise to the 5D, where we can find wealth in all dimensions, in all areas of life. Enjoy. I'm so excited to get into this episode with you today, all about how corporate America needs a serious upgrade. But first, if you haven't already, if you are a somewhat new entrepreneur and you're needing help setting up your business for success and getting to six figures, definitely make sure to join my new community, the 5D CEO Society. I will link it in the show notes. This is a community where I'll be working with you on live calls twice a month on getting the foundational pieces set up and then also healing your blocks for you. All you have to do is sit back and I will heal those blocks for you And as they dissolve, you'll get closer and closer to your goal From there. If you are a six figure entrepreneur, i also offer business coaching, business strategy, which includes rapid resolution, therapy, healings. That is where you again just sit back and allow me to heal those blocks for you. They dissolve, you can tap into higher levels of wisdom, intuition, creativity. Drop the fear, drop the anger, drop all of those negative emotions that are taking up so much of your precious energy, so let's get into it.

Angela Christian: 1:33

Hello and welcome to this episode, which is a little different than my others. However, it does go along with the general theme. This is something I've been thinking about just a lot over the last couple of years, but even more so lately. I really feel like our, like corporate America needs a consciousness upgrade. There were some companies, i feel, that after we went through the pandemic, they took a look internally and really shifted to. They shifted in ways that would help their employees not just work to live, but like have more work, life balance. But other companies just stayed the same as if nothing happened And they're just continuing on with corporate America all the live long day. And I feel like the pandemic was definitely a time of awakening for many people. There were so many new companies formed, so much inner shadow work going on, and I feel like it was also a great opportunity for corporate America to reflect on the fact like hey, we're all humans, we're not here for super long time. So how can we create better environments for our employees? How can we create more work, life balance? and not just create that but then also help shift healing for their employees in a certain way. So hear me out, and obviously I'm not talking about every single company in our country. I know that other countries, like the UK. They've made a lot of advances and changes, like moving toward the four day work week which I'm going to talk about. I feel like America is always behind, like I feel like Europe is always, you know, further ahead, so hopefully we can catch up And I really want to create something called the corporate consciousness upgrade initiative. So if anyone listening is interested in joining me on this new mission of mine, please send me a message, angela at Angela Marie Christiancom, because I'm just so tired of seeing so many people. They're they're spending majority of their day, like eight hours of their day, in a toxic environment, feeling underappreciated, feeling overwhelmed and feeling bored like bored as hell. Sorry, it's the truth. Like I'm going to share a little bit of history here, because I've been so interested in this that I've been doing a lot of research And I'm a big nerd. That's how I spend my time.

Angela Christian: 4:30

First of all, the average turnover rate in the year 2022 was 47%. I mean, that's really high. That is just about 50% And ideally a company's goal would be closer to 10%, like that's considered a good turnover rate. While 47% was the average, most companies are around 20% at best. This translates into a lot of money being lost.

Angela Christian: 5:01

First of all, let's just look at it from a financial perspective. Every time an employee leaves, the hiring process will cost that company anywhere from one half to two times the amount of that employee's annual salary. So let's just say a company had an employee who was making $50,000 a year. They leave. It could cost that company anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000 to replace them, not to mention the more people who are continuously leaving the company. The company culture is going to suffer. People around are going to be asking like, what is going on? Why is everyone leaving? Am I not seeing something? It'll just add more stress and tension in the workplace in general, but also it adds more to the current employee's plates because they're having to cover for people when the hiring process is going on. Then a new employee comes in and they're going to feel the tension. They might hear from other people how everyone leaves.

Angela Christian: 6:02

I've definitely been at companies before where I'm coming into this new company. I'm excited. It seems like a great company. And then there's all these people at my level leaving, and one of them told me, like this place underpays, they overwork, they're never going to keep anyone here good employees here unless they change. It's like, why is upper management not noticing this and doing something about it?

Angela Christian: 6:32

Because what I've realized is, just like people, just like us, a lot of people have fear of money and they let that control them. They're so scared that they're going to run out of money, that they're not going to get enough money. That's all they can see. They're living in fight or flight, and when you're in fight or flight, you have a very narrow focus, you can't zoom out, and so I feel like a lot of corporate America companies are operating from that way as well. They're so focused on bringing in clients They're not paying attention to the most important piece, i feel, which are the employees. Like, if you don't have solid, happy employees, your business is going to suffer. I've seen it so many times. I mean, i have worked in Silicon Valley, in the startup world, for a decade at this point. I've seen what works and I see what doesn't, and when the leader of the company, especially, is operating from a lot of fear or anger or scarcity that trickles down to the whole company And then that affects all of those employees home lives. It is a pandemic in of itself, to be honest, because it's creating this mass fear, mass anger, and that's why our world is the way it is.

Angela Christian: 7:52

Some of my solutions I'll talk about here. One of them that I'm working on right now is, as some of you know, i just got certified in clinical hypnosis utilizing rapid resolution therapy, which is a very unique way to help people clear their blocks quickly. I have never had things cleared so quickly. For me, it is just such an amazing, genius modality, and so what I want to do is I want to work with these company leaders, work with them on removing these blocks, and what's great about our RRT for short is that they don't have to do anything really. They just have to sit there and I do it for them. So it's not like therapy, where they're having to like, share all of these feelings and things. Like. A lot of Silicon Valley CEOs are not going to want to sit there and share their feelings about things.

Angela Christian: 8:47

So it's very simple. It's like what have you been experiencing recently? They tell me I have tools and tricks to clear that, and they don't even know what's happening. And then they leave the appointment and they're like what just happened? I mean that's I can't tell you how many times I've experienced that with Dr Connolly, with Dr Wayne Brown, where it's like we're just having a conversation, i hear a bunch of stories or metaphors and then I leave the appointment and I'm like what just happened? Did anything happen? And then the block is gone. It's literally, it feels like magic. So that's one piece of it is really healing companies at the top, because that will trickle down and then working with the management team and then working with the employees. Like everybody deserves to live outside of fear, outside of this fight or flight. It's really plaguing our world. If company leaders embraced just this aspect, it would have such a huge impact.

Angela Christian: 9:47

Because what a lot of people don't understand is the fight or flight response is something that we learned when we were running from saber tooth tigers and we've never really evolved, except that we're not running from tigers anymore, but we're in this like constant state of fight or flight and when you're stressed, it's not just affecting your personal life, it's affecting your health. When you're in fight or flight, you're not digesting your food, so no wonder why there's such an issue with digestive problems. Your stomach, literally I don't know the medical terms, dr Bruce Lipton gave a great podcast talk on Jim Fortin's podcast and he used the medical terms for this and I can't quite remember. But basically, like your stomach, the valves that you know, the digestion, all of that it shuts down when you're in fight or flight because if you're running from a saber tooth tiger, it's not the time to digest food right, and the body knows that the prime directive is to survive. So it shuts that down And that's why we have so many digestive issues. Also, when you're in fight or flight, the blood drains from your brain into your limb so that you can run fast.

Angela Christian: 11:07

So when you're in fight or flight and you're running a company, do you think that you're at your highest potential with creativity, with intuition, with you know? do you think you're operating at the highest level of intelligence? No, you're not. If you're in fear and you're operating your company that way, you are not doing your company or you any favors. So if we started at the top right of these companies and then started working our way down, brand, your kids are free inside. Not only would the workplace be more enjoyable, but there would be so much more creativity, there would be so much more humor, there would be more compassion for each other, respect, and we would start putting people first.

Angela Christian: 12:01

Like I have a friend who works at a company it's an accounting and finance company and she had a severe family emergency. And so she told her company what happened and they told her go ahead and take the time you need. So she did. Then the next, i don't know the next three weeks, like three weeks later they came, they started assigning her new clients when she was already behind from taking the emergency right family emergency And she told them I can't take these extra clients, like what is happening. And they said well, your utilization rate is only at 60%. And it's like she wanted to say I'm not a computer, i'm literally a human dealing with a very difficult family situation right now. And it's like this company that she works for. They only care about the clients. They want clients in as fast as possible because they think they falsely believe that's going to lead to success of the company. And I can see right through it. When she told me all of this, i was like, oh no, this company is going to fail, it's going to collapse Because they're not considering what is a win-win for the client, for the company and for the employee. That needs to be factored in because we are all humans, right? Okay, so now I'm gonna share a couple strategies that I have, that I think this would also help with companies as well.

Angela Christian: 13:35

So what I just talked about is I talk a lot about the 5D. I'm the 5D CFO, so I'm in James Webmoor and Brandon Lucero's programs, which are fantastic. They're helping me with my messaging and my marketing, because those things I was in accounting and finance for so long. In business school we learned a little bit about marketing, but it was very like corporate marketing, right. So this digital space is a whole new space And I tried for two years to do it on my own and just was not seeing the results I wanted. So I finally was just like you know what I'm investing in these people. They've built their companies to where I wanna build them, right, james, i think makes like 10 million a year. That's the trajectory that I am on.

Angela Christian: 14:25

So they're helping me with my messaging and my marketing and they made me realize, like Brandon last week I said you know, i feel like people are confused with what I'm offering. I'm trying to share all of this information and like how I can help. And it came down to the fact that I've been saying like oh, 3d this, 5d that, and he's like you're speaking your language in terms you're not speaking theirs, and I was just like duh, like that's so simple. So now I'm working on tweaking because I want people to understand what I'm doing and how I can help them, but I need to speak. You know their, your language, right?

Angela Christian: 15:05

So the first strategy I talked about here is what I would call a 5D strategy. Now I'm probably I'm trying to figure out a way to say that that's not so confusing. But when I say 5D just for my listeners here I'm sure you guys know already, but in case you don't or you're new to my podcast, when I say 5D I mean fifth dimension, right? So we live in a very three dimensional world And when I'm talking about 3D strategies which these next two strategies are more 3D I'm talking about like accounting, cash flow, forecast. Those are just like 3D, basic, solid, foundational systems When I'm talking and they're tangible.

Angela Christian: 15:57

So when I'm talking about 5D, when I'm talking about rapid resolution, therapy, healing blocks, it's more like working with the invisible factors that are less tangible, because you can't like see a Google doc, right? It's like like with my ROT sessions I often have the compound effect, so I'll see Dr Wayne Brown and I'll feel a shift after, but then it's not until like a week or two later that I look back and I'm like, wow, that's really gone. And so how do you translate that into your marketing? It's hard. So I'm gonna just keep sharing these strategies and I'll just call out when they're 5D or 3D and eventually, if anyone's confused, i'm hoping that will make it more clear. If you are confused, definitely reach out to me, because I want this to be the new way. I want to have our corporate America to be operating for more of a 5D. It's like holistic That's the best term for it is like not to get off topic.

Angela Christian: 17:11

But I gave this example to my sister. I said, just like traditional Western medicine physicians, okay, they are great. if you broke your leg and you need to go get it fixed, i would definitely go to a Western like medical doctor for that. I don't see them for issues like my mold toxicity. Well, i tried, but they didn't. They couldn't help me. They said it was all in my head because they weren't taught about that in medical school, right. So I saw naturopaths and functional physicians and doctors who had a lot of experience in Dudley-Mersinger opening a new project And I looked in real, real life, extra training outside of medical school.

Angela Christian: 17:52

So they're more holistic, they're looking at your whole body, where, when I went to a western medical doctor for my mold issues which one of the pieces of it was severe sinus pain because mold had taken up residence in my sinus cavities and was like producing a little mold factory in there And I was in severe pain, i could barely even think or function And they tried to tell me it was all in my head that I just wanted pain medication. They just made me feel horrible, right, and looking back at the time I was pissed. I was like you, motherfucker, sorry, but I was like I'm in so much pain right now. I have little kids But now, looking back, i have compassion for them because I'm like they're just. They were just doing what they were trained right, And they weren't trained in mold toxicity. They weren't trained to look at the body as a whole system. But it is. And like, how can you, unless you're working on a broken leg. Yes, that makes sense to just focus on the leg right, but what functional medicine and naturopaths do?

Angela Christian: 18:55

I've had my doctor, dr Judy, in Arizona. She is amazing. I've had her for like six or seven years and she helped me with the mold. And anytime we talk, she looks at my whole life. She asks what's going on in my life, what's going on in my body? Like she looks at me holistically, which that's how it should be.

Angela Christian: 19:17

I don't know why the medicine world hasn't also transitioned and transformed, but that's a different topic. So what I'm doing is I'm trying to bring this holistic view to companies Like you can't just focus on the output, like that the employees are doing, or the client output or the revenue, like you have to also look at all the pieces, and the pieces are employees, customers, management, everything. So if one piece is breaking down, like the employees, if they're not happy and they're leaving, that is going to cause disease or disharmony in the company, right? So these next two strategies are very 3D and you'll see why I'm saying that. So the first one is moving to a four day work week. This is really necessary right now And I looked at the history of all of this, which I'll share with you.

Angela Christian: 20:17

It's pretty interesting, i think So. According to Harvard Business Review, 86% of employees said they would prefer to work for a company that prioritizes outcomes over output Meaning. You know, getting the job done should matter more than you know clocking in eight hours And again, i'm not talking about every single type of company, because I know, you know, this might not apply to some companies. I'm aware of that for sure. So the traditional nine to five, monday to Friday, in the office job should not be the norm now.

Angela Christian: 20:55

Like, as I mentioned, the pandemic changed our world in so many ways And while there was a lot of, you know, bad things that happened and you know we lost a lot of lives during that time It was also an opportunity for us as a country as a whole to do some major upgrades and to look at things and realize that there could be some improvement. And it also hugely impacted the way that people view traditional work, and this is why I 100% recommend a four day work week with the option to be fully remote or, at the very least, a hybrid model where there's, you know, maybe two days in the office, two days at home If you live close to your company. It's not always possible. I have personally been fully remote since 2014. So I've been doing this for a long time And I'll just share a quick story is I remember I was pregnant with my second daughter. I was working at a firm in Marin County, which is right outside of San Francisco, where I had several clients And I had to be in the office or I would go to the actual clients offices. So it's just funny how things change pretty quickly because this accounting company, like they, only worked with local companies Which now, like these similar model accounting and finance companies, are usually remote and working with clients all over the world. But back in 2014, it was more localized.

Angela Christian: 22:30

So there was a book on the shelf there And at the job I was working on. It was the four hour work week four hour work week guest by Tim Ferriss, and it really blew my mind. It's such a great book. Highly recommend it. It's a short read. I took that home one night because it was like they had this room with all these books and like any employee could take any book. So I grabbed it, took it home with me and I was like this is what I want. I do not want to work And he talks in there about working, i think remotely, working from home. It's been a while since I read it Out sourcing, delegating And I was like I do not want to work in an office setting five days a week anymore. I'm not going to do it And I I'm pretty resourceful and scrappy. So I figured out a way and I just like, by the time she was born I had I was freelance contractor working from home, and that was pretty late.

Angela Christian: 23:23

But anyway, let's get back to this. My point being is that if there's something that you want, you can create it And that's you know. Obviously another topic I teach about and help with. But okay, so first let's have a little history lesson.

Angela Christian: 23:43

So where does the seven day, a seven day week, come from? Let's start there. So the roots of the seven day week, of the seven day week, can be traced back about 4000 years to Babylon. So they believed that there were seven planets in the solar system And the number seven held so much power that they literally plan their days around it. This eventually spread to Egypt, greece, rome. The Jewish people had their own version of a seven day week as well, and it became firmly entrenched in the Western calendar, about 250 years before Christ was born. So let's just think about this for a minute. Presently we have eight planets, so this is just like a classic example of our world just remaining the same, because that's the way it is right. Like it's just crazy to me.

Angela Christian: 24:40

So getting into the four day work week, there have been so many studies that prove both employees and employers could benefit from working less hours. There was a pretty interesting study in the UK that actually revealed the number of productive hours equals two hours and 23 minutes per day. That's for people who are working eight hour days. And this is because employees are burnt out. They're being forced to sit in an eight hour work day when they could get their work done much faster. Right, they're probably bored most of that time. They're probably delaying.

Angela Christian: 25:14

I know personally when I've ever been forced to work eight hours a day, five days a week, i just like if someone were to come to me, if I worked at a company, let's say and someone were to come to me and say, hey, how would you like to just work four days a week, eight hours a day? I know that I would be so much more focused. I'd be like, yes, and your pay not changing right, still getting paid for working 40 hours a week, but only working four days a week at 32 hours. I would get so much more done because I would be focused and I'd want to be able to take that, you know, friday off or whatever it is, whatever day they give off, and really enjoy myself. So 40 hour work weeks are so outdated, like.

Angela Christian: 26:04

I do think the pandemic brought more light to this fact. But let's just think about this before the pandemic, a lot of people spent so much unpaid time, sometimes an hour or more, commuting to work right, commuting back and forth, then they're sitting there for eight hours, like that's so much time out of someone's life. Then many people switched to remote work, which you think would have improved the work-life balance and employee satisfaction. But actually the burnout rate increased by 10%, so it went up to 44% when compared to the previous year And it's actually still growing. So, as I said, i do believe, as many others do, that one good thing that came out of the pandemic was bringing light to our relationships with work, our work time, our work-life balance, all of that And we now have a chance to reinvent what work and work week means And this is why I'm on a mission right now to really be leading this initiative And I'm not the only one, but it takes a lot of people.

Angela Christian: 27:10

So now let's look at history and why we have a five-day work week. So in 1926, henry Ford announced an eight-hour, five-day work week, which was actually shocking to a lot of people because other factories had their workers working six days a week for really long hours. But Henry Ford understood the needs of his workers and he actually considered, like, okay, they need some time for their family. That was in 1926. Okay, he is one man and he created what we are still doing Like almost 100 years later. You guys, isn't it time for a change? So we're at a really pivotal moment right now and we have the opportunity to push for a change that's in the benefit for our society, for our people and our mental health, which is like we really need that right now. People need this. So, not to mention that there have been numerous studies done about how this actually increases efficiency.

Angela Christian: 28:11

The four-day work week increases efficiency and satisfaction at work, which will reduce the turnover rate. Hello, it's like a win-win all around. Why are these leaders of companies not realizing this? Well, because they are so stuck in their fear, survival mentality. Yes, even multimillionaires are stuck in fear and survival because they don't know, they don't realize it and they haven't turned that stress response off. So they're not seeing the bigger picture, you guys.

Angela Christian: 28:44

So the CEO of Basecamp, which is a really cool company, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times Jason I never know if it's freed or fried, sorry, jason FRIED. So he said, when you have a compressed work week, you tend to focus on what's important. Constraining time encourages quality time. Better work gets done in four days than in five. I completely agree. So eight-hour work weeks, five days a week, need to go for corporate America.

Angela Christian: 29:15

For companies that could do this you know, lake or accounting firms, which I'm just familiar with because that's what I've been doing my whole career There's no reason why they need to work five days a week, eight hours a day. I know, because I've been there, that I would get so much more done if I was only working four days a week. And I'm like I said, i'm not talking about condensing a 40 hour week into four days, hell. No, i'm talking about working four days a week, 32 hours a week or less, with the same pay. I mean, one man decided it should be five days a week.

Angela Christian: 29:55

We have the power to now say no, we're in need of an upgrade. Right, it is truly a win-win for everybody, and change is unavoidable at this point if companies want to retain happy, amazing employees, because, as we saw with the pandemic, there was such an influx of people starting their own businesses. So you know, now is the time We should really be focusing on the output of our work, not how many hours we work. We are not robots, we are humans, especially because many of those forced eight hours a week are spent procrastinating or just filling time or on social media. It's just such a waste of money and effort all around. So some companies that are already doing this are Amazon, basecamp, kickstarter, microsoft, panasonic, samsung, shopify. Those are just a few And, as I said, the UK seems to be adopting this faster than the US, which I'm not surprised about, but hopefully we can catch up soon. So, to wrap this up, four day work week will help with the mental health of employees, it will improve efficiency and it will attract and retain employees.

Angela Christian: 31:07

So did you hear that, corporate America? Let's make some changes. Okay, so that was my first strategy. The second strategy is a bit more controversial. It's going to sound a little odd, but it's kind of. It's a form of kind of reverse psychology, right? So this next strategy I'm calling entrepreneur mentorship in the workplace.

Angela Christian: 31:31

So I have personally been attacked more than once by employers in the past for having an entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial endeavors, whether it was, you know, having a side business or having a podcast or whatever it is. And I've even had employees in the past ask me to hide it And it's like no, you know, this is me Again, i am a whole person. I am not just. I'm not owned by you, like I'm not owned by a company. I'm sorry, i have. There's more to me than my life, than just your company, you know, and more people than ever right now are getting fired for their entrepreneur, entrepreneurial spirit, and this increased during the pandemic.

Angela Christian: 32:20

Americans filed 5.1 million new business applications. That was sorry. That was in 2022. And the sad news is that we know, of course, most small businesses fail within the first five years, so about 60 to 70% don't make it to year 10. And something I've seen alongside this entrepreneurial boom is that while it's lit a fire for a lot of people. It's also shining a light on internal battles that they've been battling and might not even know it, like perfectionism and posture syndrome and other like just really deep insecurities. So, even though people have found a creative desire to launch a business, many of them aren't going full force because of these internal battles that you know, depending on how you're going about working them out might take a while.

Angela Christian: 33:15

So my idea here is two fold one, by encouraging employees to pursue their entrepreneurial spirit on their day off right. So four day work week. They'll be more efficient at work. Because I know when I was trying to start my business, it was so hard to try to focus for five days a week on someone else's company right building up someone else's company. If I had been working four days a week I would have given that company my all and on the fifth day I could have just spent all on my company right.

Angela Christian: 33:45

And there's very few overnight successes in this digital space. Like I know, a lot of people hype that up or say that happened. But when you work with the right people like you know personally James Wedmore, brandon Lucero they're very honest about their struggles and how long it took them to become successful. I mean, we're talking like four to 10 years sometimes, so this isn't going to again. We're talking about fear, right? This strategy If the leader of the company hasn't worked through their fighter flight is going to set off a lot of alarms because they're going to be worried people are going to quit.

Angela Christian: 34:25

And you know, no, that's not going to happen. Because if you're offering a four day work week to employees, you're providing amazing benefits and entrepreneurial, even if it's not like mentorship or coaching, just like encouraging their entrepreneurial spirit, just encouraging it. That's going to do so much for the morale at a company. But if you add on like some kind of entrepreneurial mentorship or coaching, it's highly unlikely that the employee is going to leave the company. They're going to feel so secure because they're getting a regular paycheck from the company. They're putting in their four days a week And on the fifth day they're working on their, on their desire, you know, and that might just be enough for them for 10, 15 years, like that's a long time for someone to stay at a company, especially these days. So why do companies look at employees as their personal property? Why can't we be who we want to be online, without worrying about what our companies might think, or worse, getting fired for it.

As a society, in this day and age, we should be able to be open about our desires and what drives us. We should be able to express the hardships we've gone through in order to help others without being judged. Like you know, people Google you. Now it's kind of a new, it feels new. I guess it's not really new, but like I would get on a call with a potential client or you know, when I was looking at possible job opportunities and they would want to talk about things I've gone through, which is fine, like I'm for it, but it just felt like odd. It was like, oh, tell me about your divorce or tell me about your your black mold incident, which it's good that they're asking questions, they're seeing me as a whole, but I can't help but sometimes feel a little suspicious. I'm like what are they searching for? Are they just genuinely interested? If they're genuinely interested, that's great.

So many people have gone through really difficult things and they could help others get through those things and they could do it part time. Just like I'm saying like have a four day work week for your employees And on that fifth day that person could be doing something really important for the world. They could be helping other women who have been abused get out of abusive relationships. They could be helping children who went through trauma heal. They could be really helping the world on that fifth day right. And so if companies did this and also supported this person like I don't think we would see this turnover. I know we wouldn't see this turnover. And when you tack on the healing of the leaders and I wouldn't necessarily call it healing, i guess, to the leaders, because most of these CEOs I've worked with a lot of corporate CEOs they don't want to hear the word healing. They would want to hear more like this is going to boost your profit because it does. When you're out of fight or flight, when you're out of survival, you're able to tap into those higher levels of creativity, intuition, wisdom And so, yes, that's going to improve your bottom line.
