We need all the paradigm pioneers we can get! <br /><br />You may find it appropriate to include my company in the list. We're called Cambium Consulting and we operate from a view of organizations as living systems which are, by definition, animated by an integrative spirit of life. In working with clients, we use a framework called the Engagement Competency Model, which guides orgranizations in creating the fertile conditions for life to flourish. (What is being "engaged" is the spirit of life.) The model is based on my extensive research into the patterns of living systems and the patterns of successful organizations. <br /><br />I'm thrilled to see so many groups working with this topic!<br /><br />Michelle Holliday<br />Cambium Consulting<br />www.cambiumconsulting.com<br />blog: www.solarium.cambiumconsulting.comCambium Consultinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632152353664415480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138067676455417641.post-72071153546199365882009-09-23T07:46:35.375-05:002009-09-23T07:46:35.375-05:00Thank you, Ashley.

Here's a chunk of it:<br /><br />"The basis of its mission assumes that we are living in an age of rapidly intensifying complexity and expansion of ideas and disciplines while, at the same time participating in a major global paradigm shift . Longstanding structures both physical and psychological are changing, dissolving and being re-envisioned.<br /><br />There is an underlying presence called by various names: Spirit, God, Consciousness, Compassion, Wisdom, Universal Life, Universal Intelligence etc. We can learn to tap into this presence and allow it to inform and govern our work in the world. In activating presence it, as opposed to our egos, helps us to achieve the best outcome for any given situation. <br /><br />There is an opening in the midst of the change going on today, for us to moved beyond ego-based activity and become individually and collectively more present to ourselves and our environment, and to integrate ourselves in such a way as to ensure creative, productive and ethical action in the world."Michael Bischoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196064668170667389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138067676455417641.post-34937015327247660582009-09-23T05:32:33.469-05:002009-09-23T05:32:33.469-05:00Hi MIchael,

I come to this work via two careers, one in Finance (VP Corporate Banking-NY) and the other an Episcopal priest and student of Buddhism. My practice involves promoting what Tolle would call awakened "doing" in the workplace. See: www.thepresenceproject.org. (Still under construction).<br /> All the best in your work.ASHLEYhttp://www.thepresenceproject.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138067676455417641.post-38856256378131710662009-09-11T12:18:56.461-05:002009-09-11T12:18:56.461-05:00This is a great list, Michael!

I also began to study spirituality and workplace, as a result of the findings of my doctoral study on corporate leaders championing CSR initiatives. I found in that study the important role spirituality for them! My practice is centered on developing awareness of the difference we can make, and it's called legacy coaching (www.legacycoaching.net). Would love to create more synergy with like-minded colleagues.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419480630274265985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138067676455417641.post-43654110713655993572009-08-27T03:25:13.634-05:002009-08-27T03:25:13.634-05:00Hello Michael - you are definitely not alone!
