Curious about Conscious Capitalism? Interested in elevating humanity through business? As we shift our consciousness with intention to do good, in life and business, we can help shift systems. Learn more as Susan Walters Minker, co-owner and steward of Bend of Ivy Lodge, speaks at FemCity’s RISE Asheville October program, October 18 from 8am – 10am. RISE is a FemCity Asheville women’s leadership development program.

October Talk: CONSCIOUS CAPITALISM- FOUR PRINCIPLES TO CREATE A CONSCIOUS BUSINESS REGISTER HERE: https://www.femcity.com/events/femcity-asheville-conscious-capitalism/

Susan will share an engaging exploration of Conscious Capitalism, an international movement created by Conscious Capitalism Inc. (CCI) where business is practiced consciously to elevate humanity as a force for good.

We’ll explore the four principles of Conscious Capitalism (Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Orientation, Conscious Leadership and Conscious Culture). Conscious Capitalism is an impactful profit strategy too. We’ll interact and explore ideas and resources to help a leader be more conscious in their business journeys, and life.

Conscious Capitalism is, at heart, about people and about connecting. It’s about making a difference through business and using capitalism for its highest good.
