Awakening Organizations – a Podcast with Catherine Bell

Here are my top three takeaways from my interview at the Global Summit:

1. We are asleep in our organizations:
   • 75% of business die within their first nine years.
   • Over 70% are disengaged at work.
   • Most people rate spending time with their bosses as their worst time of the day.
2. We need to awaken something new and that’s what The Awakened Company is about – some things we can do to help our organizations to become more awake, more alive nd thriving like a forest.
3. Some practical things you can do to help awaken yourself and your organization:
   • Improve your individual performance, engagement and happiness by becoming more self-aware. Read my book for more information, read books on mindfulne
     ss and get some coaching on self-awareness and mindfulness.
   •  Spend more 1:1 time with your team. Notice what they are doing right and tell them.  The result is that engagement improves dramatically.
   • Research shows that spending 2/3 of your time building your organization’s culture and 1/3 of your time focused on the financial results, your organizational performance will improve. With a sole focus only on financial results, financial performance is worse.
