Book Chat: The Healing Organization Part I
2020-09-04 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | Virtual Event
For the remainder of the year, we are focused beyond 2020’s challenges. We’re looking toward something more important: healing. Join Conscious Capitalism – Indianapolis for “The Heart of Business Virtual Series” to leverage the best of 2020 and prepare to make the most of 2021.
Book Chat Part I: Business—The Cause & Solution of Many of the World’s Problems?
September 4 | 12 pm et
The image of modern corporations has been shaped by a focus on profits over people and the environment, but this approach to capitalism is no longer viable. We are at an inflection point where business must take the lead in healing the crises of our time.
In Part I we will chat about the historical, psychological, and philosophical underpinnings of capitalism that brought us to where we are today. This will lead us to considering how and why businesses must take the lead in saving the world.

Overcoming Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
2020-09-11 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event
2020 has been a year of change and uncertainty loaded with challenges we never could have anticipated or imagined. Rather than focusing on the difficulties, we’re offering a different perspective: Healing. Join Conscious Capitalism – Indianapolis for “The Heart of Business Virtual Series” to discover the best of 2020 and prepare to make the most of 2021.
Part II – September 11: Overcoming Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
“We all have unconscious bias; it doesn’t make us bad, it makes us human.”
We all develop and carry some level of bias that stems from mental shortcuts but ends up affecting the way we see the world around us. Inside the workplace unconscious bias influences our hiring and promotion practices, colors employee experiences, and impacts overall business performance. Instead of shying away from our biases, we must face them head-on, looking introspectively to recognize where they come from so that we can overcome these barriers to progress.
For you and your organization, join us for this highly relevant topic.

Book Chat Part III: The Beckoning Path
October 2 | 12 pm et
The Healing Organization defines the word “audacious.” Consider this opening promise: “You will discover how business can become a place of healing for employees and their families, a source of healing for customers, communities, and ecosystems, and a force for healing in society …” Audacious, right?
In Part III of our book chat, we’ll discuss the principles and practices healing organizations have in common. Then we’ll talk about how to begin on our own journey and embrace the Healing Oath as a first step.

Fishing with Dynamite Regional Premiere
2020-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Virtual Event
How do we save capitalism from itself?

Don’t miss the live regional premiere series of Fishing with Dynamite – a new documentary on Stakeholder Capitalism. This film, featuring Ed Freeman, one of the founders of the Conscious Capitalism movement, exposes the destructive effects of capitalism focused solely on maximizing shareholder value rather than stakeholder companies that meet the needs of employees, customers, suppliers, investors, communities, and the environment.

The East Region event includes a film screening followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers, local business leaders, and other Conscious Capitalists.

The Way of the J.E.D.I. in Conscious Companies
2020-11-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event
The Jedi have a proverb: A plan is only as good as those who see it through.
That also applies to J.E.D.I.: justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The events of 2020 have conscious companies wanting to do better when it comes to social justice issues. Yet knowing where to begin in solving this sensitive topic is tough. What can companies do to support the movement, rather than simply addressing the moment?
Join us for a discussion on J.E.D.I. with Indiana business leaders at the forefront of this work. Learn why J.E.D.I. is a business issue affecting both stakeholders and the bottom line. Discover the actions these leaders are taking within their companies and the lessons learned along the way. Walk away with strategies for progress any size business can use.
The goal is to help your company move forward consciously in the way of the J.E.D.I. After all, “a single chance is a galaxy of hope.”

The Future of Conscious Capitalism After COVID
2021-02-25 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event
The Future of Conscious Capitalism After COVID

Ten years ago, Conscious Capitalism wasn’t taken seriously by mainstream businesses. Fast forward to one year ago and Conscious Capitalism was gaining traction with BlackRock, the Business Roundtable, and the World Economic Forum. Then COVID hit. The media called it an “acid test” for conscious business principles, predicting that companies would jettison them to survive. Instead, more businesses are joining the movement than ever before.

So, what does the future look like for Conscious Capitalism?

Join Alexander McCobin, CEO of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., and Steve Hall, founder of driversselect (now EchoPark), for a thought-provoking discussion about what’s ahead for businesses and capitalism in a changing world.

These trailblazers of the movement will provide:

On-the-ground examples of putting the four tenets of Conscious Capitalism to work for driving business results.
Strategies for making meaningful progress on the journey of becoming a conscious company in a time when everyone is suffering from change fatigue.

The Indianapolis Chapter’s 2021 kickoff event combines the why’s and how’s of making Conscious Capitalism a reality in your business locally.

Disrupting Health Care with Empathy and Authenticity
2022-09-15 17:00 - 19:00 | Authenticx, 9405 Delegates Row, Indianapolis, IN, 46240, United States
The U.S. health system is the most expensive yet produces the worst health outcomes of the wealthiest countries in the world. Social worker-turned-CEO Amy Brown wants to change that. Her approach is different than most. Rather than relying on new rules and regulations, Brown and her company Authenticx are redefining the “care” in health care.
Specializing in listening at scale, Authenticx will listen to more than 100M patient and customer conversations in 2022. Clients include top 10 pharmaceutical and insurance companies—a major feat for a start-up not yet five years old. But unlike the typical story, Conscious Leadership and embedded empathy serve as unique elements of this entrepreneurial success.
Join us on September 15 for insights from Amy Brown’s conscious journey to disrupt health care.

Learn why leading with heart matters to people and profits.
Understand how focusing on Higher Purpose can build a business while changing the world.
Discover why encouraging staff authenticity and recruiting for compassion creates a high-performing team.

Featured Speaker: Amy Brown, Founder & CEO, Authenticx
Amy Brown built her career in the health care industry, during which time she advocated for underserved populations, led and mobilized teams to expand health care coverage to thousands of local residents, and learned the nuance of corporate operations.
She grew up the daughter of a physician who said, “Amy, if you ever really want to understand a patient, all you have to do is listen to them.” That grounding gave her a different lens for solving some of health care’s biggest problems as a health care executive and now CEO. Brown founded Authenticx in 2018 with the mission of bringing the authentic voice of the patient into the boardroom to increase positive health care outcomes.
Event Schedule:
5:00 – 5:30 PM – Networking
