Posted: 27 Nov 2011 07:18 PM PST

Sixty-eight percent of respondents to MIT SMR's third annual global survey say their organizations increased their commitment to sustainability in the past year. That's a dramatic increase from 2009, when only a quarter of respondents said that. Those are among first highlights featured in the current issue of MIT SMR.

Do you have - a business idea that you've never started? a concept for a book you’ve never written? a feeling that you're "playing smaller" than you should? a challenge around inertia and procrastination? ... then you're already familiar with resistance! Resistance is, quite simply, the force that sabotages your best thinking, kills your inspired ideas and stalls any attempt to move towards your own highest potential. For most of us the biggest stumbling block in achieving success is not cultivating inspiration and ideas but the execution of those ideas. Often, a lack of confidence in our abilities and fear of the unknown prevents us attaining true prosperity. We don’t step over the threshold to become an authority in our careers, accomplish the success we desire or touch the lives that we could if we had more self belief. “Thank you for an utterly compelling and inspiring day yesterday. Baby steps have already been made today! ” ~ Rebecca Perkins, Workshop Participant. Perhaps more than anything else, resistance is what can stop us realising our capabilities and cultivating our creative and entrepreneurial flow. This professionally recorded and edited 4 CD set is an invitation to make your true purpose more important than your resistance, and enable you to take your rightful place as a creative, artistic and entrepreneurial soul. You can make the difference you are here to create for yourself and others, and enjoy the success that is rightfully yours! After listening to this, you'll - Understand resistance, what it is and how it operates. Know how to use resistance as a compass to navigate toward what is most meaningful to you. Discover your personal obstructions and how to recognise them. Interpret the seven secrets to beating your own resistance. Uncover how to develop the courage to move beyond your resistance. Realise and be inspired by the rewards of beating your fears Understand how to move beyond self-sabotage. “I found the courage and 'just did it' as I'd expressed I would by making myself accountable. I invested today with time and energy and posted a few of my many items. I accomplished my 'babystep'!” ~ Hannah Pearson, Workshop Participant. What's Inside? Session 1: What resistance is and the purpose it seeks to serve Understand resistance, what it is and how it operates. Making the unconscious conscious. Resistance as part of the human software. Becoming clear about your own strategies for resistance. Session 2: The amateur and the professional as archetypes What it means to be an amateur and a professional. Making your transition – the decision to turn ‘pro’. Working for love while being paid and allowing your work to be your art. Session 3: Turning 'professional' – mindset and strategies Professional execution and delivery. Finding your professional core. Becoming a failure to move on. Courage to move in the direction of the unknown. Serving your Muse as an agent of the Infinite. Developing skill and mastery. Session 4: The seven ways through resistance Winning your creative battle every day. The secrets to moving through resistance. Showing up in your world. Serving your people. “Thank you for putting together such a great presentation on the 4th December - that was a bolder in the pond to create many very large ripples! The wind is well and truly under my wings now and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.” ~ Karin Morgan, Workshop Participant. >>> http://su.pr/1FkQOl

In order to sell to those who are hungry for information and resources concerning their special interest, you must identify yourself as an expert in the field you're targeting. This is great news for anyone who writes well. Despite its promotion as a great image-based medium, the Internet is primarily a text-based medium But what if you know your niche market, but don't write well? You can purchase content others have written for you, or you can have content custom-written for your niche market. There are dozens of methods to advertise your website. Most don't work. The one method that has been proven to work consistently, is an approach focused on retaining existing customers, while cultivating new ones by using the search engines and great content.

Fighting “Not-Sold-Here” Tendencies

Posted: 21 Nov 2011 02:25 AM PST

"Not-sold-here" tendencies, the instinct to not want to give away a company's "crown jewels" through strategic licensing, are an impediment for companies looking to pursue open innovation practices. Monetary and non-monetary incentive mechanisms in support of technology transfer, such as an open innovation award, can help break this instinct.

We all have dreams for our lives and for a better world. Making those dreams really happen, however, can be a big challenge. Lack of time, money and skills often get in the way. But the deeper issue is that most of us have never been trained in how to manifest our important plans and dreams -- and we weren’t given the tools to clear the obstacles that prevent us from creating what we truly want in life. Too often, then, we aren’t able to manifest effectively, which leads to stress or failure. We then turn away from our deeper calling -- whether it’s publishing a book, starting a new business, living in a foreign country, finishing a project or serving the world. World-renowned chakra expert Anodea Judith is here to help you change that. She offers you a clear, easy and exciting roadmap -- and a step-by-step plan to clear the obstacles and catapult you into the world of co-creating with Spirit and with others in your life. A Powerful Roadmap to Keep You on Track and in Alignment with Spirit Using the powerful “technology” of the Chakra System, accessible through your own body and psyche, each week Anodea will guide you in a process from dream to reality through the downward current through the chakras. Each week there will be specific exercises and practices to strengthen each area and keep you on track with your life vision. The Chakra Map: How Manifesting Your Dreams Really Works Most people think of the Chakra System as an upwardly mobile map for ascending to higher levels of transcendence, seeking the jewel of the crown chakra at the top. Few people realize that in the ancient texts, the Chakra System also represents a process for condensing consciousness into the many levels of manifestation that we experience as reality. This descending current of consciousness takes us back down to earth and brings our dreams into reality. Whether your dream is personal or global, a business or a community, this course will help you condense and clarify your ideas and keep you on track in a step-by-step process for making your visions become real. You can then apply these steps to anything you want to create, alone or with others. It Starts with Your Ideas... We begin in consciousness with a conception of an idea (crown chakra) and focus our intentions into a clear vision (brow chakra), then learn to communicate that vision effectively (throat chakra). This brings us into the realm of relationship, service and co-creation (heart chakra). By focusing our will (power chakra), we find the right connections, movement, passion and balance (sacral chakra), and take specific grounded actions in the physical world to bring our projects to completion (root chakra), step by step. At this time on the planet we are being asked, not only to seek liberation and transcendence, but also to bring the divine down into us and out through our actions, to become effective change agents... for co-creating Heaven on Earth. It’s time, don’t you think, to fully ignite your passion and create the life you’ve been imagining for yourself and for our world. Join Anodea and a supportive, like-minded circle of others for this transformative journey! >>> http://ping.fm/t6TNg

You can now access step-by-step strategies for navigating conflict and building peace so you can heal yourself, your family and the world, NOW, when the world needs us most. You can take an active role in being the change - and you can learn to do it effectively with tools and strategies from a world-renowned social healer and peacemaker. You and I live in a world of complexity and conflict, stretching from the personal to the global. And we also live in a time of accelerating, evolutionary change, with great breakthroughs in fields like science, sacred activism, spirituality, and peacemaking. You and I were born for this time, born to be catalysts for growth, healers of old wounds, leaders of a brighter tomorrow. You know that you are part of this wave of awakening and change. Together, we’re here to make a profound difference for the future of human civilization. But we all need a state-of-the-art map and guidebook for how to navigate the complexity and conflict and to play our unique, sacred role. I’m writing to invite you to share with me in a profound journey to the frontiers of human knowledge and to the innermost depths of the human heart - a journey of love, forgiveness, insight, and great joy. It’s a journey into peacemaking, which is the single most important skill for being the change - whether in schools, your home, your workplace or your neighborhood. We're surrounded by festering wounds of conflict, misunderstanding, violence, and fear. And yet we have the opportunity to be healers, bridgebuilders, and peacemakers, which brings great benefits not only to the world but to our lives. For the peacemaker does not just touch others - we touch our own innermost Self through the raw, naked power of the human heart. We shed layers of illusion and defense to live in a way that is lit by a powerful love. Life for the peacemaker is not "the easy way," it is what native peoples call the "beauty way.". It all comes down to one thing - the path you take towards peacemaking. When you take the path created by spiritual pioneers and social healers who have honed their techniques - then you can master the skills and practices to be a peacemaker for the rest of your life. You’ll see through to the roots of conflict and learn the most effective strategies for repairing the wounds conflict has caused, within yourself, your community and our world. >>> http://su.pr/2mxPgj

And we KNOW you can access the energy of the Midwife within you - to help you move through an initiatory gateway towards a greater than imagined future.

At the same time, we also know the importance of embracing and mastering the amazing technology and business wizardry in our new world to truly affect change. We are calling you to imagine beyond the confines of what you think is possible and stand in the truth of YOUR MAGNIFICENCE. We are calling you to take outrageous and remarkable actions in your life, so you can truly midwife the planetary shifts we face and manifest your greatest visions for your life and our world.

ou CAN learn to become a powerful catalyst of conscious evolution and play a role in one of the most exciting events ever envisioned: a planetary Birth Day on December 22, 2012. This day will help us shift beyond fearful separation toward a global sense of oneness, symbolically marking the start of a new era in human development. Already more than 49,000 people have said "yes" to the Vision for the planetary Birth Day and more than 1500 have trained to be part of the global team. You, too, can join this movement determined to help make the Shift. In the mainstream media, our times are seen as precarious and grim. We teeter on the edge of environmental collapse and global disaster, buffeted by war and strife. This intense and often emotional drama has one powerful solution: our conscious evolution as a species. We have within us extraordinary creative potentials that have yet to be massively unleashed, leading to wide-scale cooperation, innovation, sustainability and peace. The solutions are available; it is only the human software that needs an upgrade. Which brings us to YOU: are you one of those here to upgrade the software? Reboot planet earth with a more holistic, compassionate, and sacred vision? Connect to and empower what IS truly working within yourself and within the world, rather than lament what no longer works? There is a profound birthing process underway on our planet, and the crises we face can be seen as contractions -- and evolutionary drivers. These catalytic events are accelerating, which is really good news because it means the birth is near. Many prophecies concur that the time for a planetary shift has arrived. Only it won’t happen by magic; it will happen only if those of us with the “codes” step forward and give our greatest gifts to the emergence of a new co-creative human society. If we do that, we can collectively ignite a new way of being that endures for decades to come. Join us to begin the evolutionary adventure of a lifetime! http://ping.fm/MiG8r We are here to participate in the Great Turning from one era into another. Our planetary crises AND our unbridled creativity are together pushing for this larger Shift, and it’s happening right now. It merely needs to be accelerated, activated and made visible to the whole of humanity, inviting their participation. That’s why our intention is to build a year’s worth of transformative programs that help shift our culture and reaches a crescendo with a planetary Birth Day event on Dec. 22, 2012. This day will involve a global broadcast, a State of the Planet address, a 100-year vision for humanity, synchronized meditation and sounds, and a global children’s choir. And it will lead into local synergy circles, activation of collaborations, and creative parties around the world. Imagine what’s possible if tens of millions of us choose to unify for that day and express our highest consciousness and creativity. Imagine connecting what is innovative and creative at a planetary scale. Imagine what can be unleashed.

A call to the best men of the world

Do you want to experience the delicious ALIVENESS that comes from living from your heart and walking your path with ease and grace? We all have access to a reservoir of limitless possibility and vast wisdom. When we tap into this power, the abundance we experience is deeper (and truer) than that which comes from just accumulating material possessions. It satisfies a soul hunger so many of us feel to be fully, truly, authentically ourselves and to live more naturally, even effortlessly. When we are “plugged in,” we are constantly filled and rejuvenated from the INSIDE – and that results in an abundance of loving relationships, meaningful work, success, service and material beauty on the outside. But too many of us have distorted ideals of what it means to be conscious or enlightened, often involving sacrificing and undermining our core human needs to simply give, give and give some more. It’s how most of us have been taught. We haven’t known another way. And yet, we ARE the divine source as well, so if we close down our connection internally and deplete ourselves, we have far less to give. If you’ve done dozens of workshops, read myriad books, been on the conscious path for many years, but still bump up against the same old “stuff” and can’t seem to really break free from the doubts, fears and perceived limitations, this course is for you. If you’ve practiced visualizations and affirmations with limited success, this course is for you as well. While forms of “thought magic” or “attraction” gimmicks can help, the deeper truth is that we must learn to awaken to the fullness of who we really are and then use the energy within our own body to become masters of our lives. Then we are living from the aligned, open, true place that calls forth the life we want. When you understand how to tap into the broader energies of the universe and experience your multi-dimensional essence, you access a field of potential that is Infinite Possibility. Limitless. Creative. Wondrous. And when you give of yourself in service in the world, you can then pour forth that abundance – without depletion! And that, in turn is magnetic to more abundance. >>> http://su.pr/1gLNMS

Are you eager to once and for all move beyond limiting beliefs and into your greatest life of love and infinite possibility?

Homo Economicus

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 06:31 PM PDT

ephraim “I think to start answering the questions you've posed we need to stop using the term ‘human capital management.’ The main point of ‘social business’ is that people and their connections move to the forefront (of software, organizational structures, planning, etc). As a term, ‘human capital management’ really takes the ‘human’ out of people. [...]
