Your Learning Journey
The Conscious Business World Summit is crafted to give you an optimal learning experience, while also delivering an overview of the movement as a whole.
Each day has its own subject “track” where we focus on one of the five unique areas of conscious business. For example, on Monday we focus on Conscious Leadership, Tuesday we drill down into Purpose and Mission etc.
Within each track, we have included a mix of best practice presentations, 1:1 interviews with experts and world impact keynotes to give you a full spectrum experience of core principles, combined with practical integration processes.
Wherever possible, we have also woven a “ME / WE / WORLD” approach into each day, with the “ME” viewpoint addressing your personal needs, the “WE” perspective speaking to your organisation’s needs and finally the “WORLD” conversation exploring a global outlook.
Whatever your area of interest, the Conscious Business World Summit is packed full of valuable tools, strategies, distinctions and data points to turn your company into a conscious business and to support you in bringing your A-game to the Conscious Business table.
