Look to the Future with Optimism
Here’s how you, as a leader, can help make your company future-
ready:
- Be decisive and unsentimental about your corporate
portfolio. Too often, leaders keep businesses for historical or
sentimental reasons. To build a successful future, your focus
can’t be on the past. - Be experimental and ambitious, pushing for
breakthrough innovation, rethinking global supply chains,
improving sustainability, and integrating technology. AI and
other advancements must be central, but it’s the mindset
here that matters—expansive thinking and a readiness for
change. - Be prudent with capital and liquidity requirements.
Evaluate your company’s funding needs and run risk models
continuously. Ensure there’s a financial cushion for any
bumps in the road so you can shape—rather than be a victim
of—future events. - Be patient as you build teams and manage talent. Your top
priority is recruiting, developing, and retaining strong
people. Every business is a people’s business, so the quality
of your team is the difference between top performance and
mediocrity. - Be persistent, ready to take on the obstacles to come. It’s
the only way you can achieve any of the four points above.

Imagine a world where everyone lives in peace
Imagine what would spring from that global peace—the beautiful flowers of kindness. Imagine a world where society uses its talents, resources, and energy for the good of all. Where the many, many billions of dollars currently spent on defense are used instead to attack disease rather than each other. Where communities and families aren’t fractured by violence and crime but are united, strong, understanding, and caring. Where everyone’s home is safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Where new technologies are designed to serve humankind, helping us prosper. Where there is plentiful food and water, and we happily share what we have with friends, neighbors, and strangers. Where borders are no more than lines on old maps. Where creatures of every shape and size have space to thrive. Where Nature is loved and respected. Where our villages, towns, and cities overflow with gratitude and generosit
Imagine that world….

Book of the Month – April 2024 : The Power of your Subconscious Mind – Joseph Murphy
Dr Joseph Murphy spent a good part of his life studying eastern religions and was a scholar of the I Ching, the Chinese book of divination. He was also, for 28 years, minister at the Los Angeles branch of the Church of Divine Science, a New Thought church that promotes a practical spirituality, free of religious creed and dogma. He believed he had found secrets concerning the subconscious that were beyond time and culture. Many people say their lives were not the same after reading this book. The subconscious is powerful and what you get from Murphy is the realisation that unless you try to understand the non-rational mind, your rational desires and plans will be forever sabotaged.
“The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” is a remarkable book that delves deep into the inner workings of the human mind, providing invaluable insights into self-understanding and the art of controlling our thoughts on a daily basis. Authored by Joseph Murphy, this timeless masterpiece has had a profound impact on my understanding of myself and the power I possess within.
From the very beginning, I was drawn into the immense depth of this book. Murphy’s writing style is clear, concise, and accessible, allowing readers of all backgrounds to fully grasp the profound concepts he presents. He explores the intricate workings of the subconscious mind, shedding light on how our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions shape our realities.
What sets “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” apart is its ability to bridge the gap between theory and practical application. Murphy provides a treasure trove of techniques and exercises to harness the immense power of the subconscious mind. From visualization and affirmations to the art of self-suggestion, readers are equipped with a comprehensive toolkit to take control of their thoughts and ultimately their lives.
One of the most significant takeaways from this book is the understanding that our subconscious mind is constantly at work, influencing our thoughts and behaviors. By becoming aware of our subconscious programming, we gain the ability to rewire and reprogram it with positive and empowering beliefs. This realization alone has transformed the way I approach challenges, enabling me to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones that align with my goals and aspirations……

You do not create your thoughts
Where do thoughts come from? A questioner engages Rupert in a discussion about the consciousness-only model, the origin of thoughts, the nature of the mind and how we can go beyone the limitations of the mind.
Rupert explains that in the consciousness only model infinite consciousness is the medium within which literally everything arises. Thoughts may be conditioned from individual experiences that we have like a toothache, by events that take place outside your mind like the coronavirus or your own past conditioning through experiences you had as a child. The more we explore our experience the more we realize that the self of each of us, is the self of infinite awareness.
And at some point the personal thoughts and feelings tend to die down because there is no longer a clearly defined personal self or ego for them to revolve around. The mind expands until it loses its limitations and is recognized to be one with infinite consciousness or, in religious language, with God’s presence.
Ask Big Questions
To be clear: I’m not saying you should ask pointed questions that put others on the spot, like “How can you deliver 10% higher productivity?” or “Are you missing anything here?” The kind of questions leaders need to ask are those that invite people to come together to explore major new opportunities that your organization hasn’t identified yet. Here are some examples:
- What is a game-changing opportunity that could create much more value than we have delivered in the past?
- What are emerging unmet needs of our customers that could provide the foundation for an entirely new business?
- How could we leverage the resources of third parties to address a broader range of the needs of our customers?
- How can we move from standardized, mass-market products and services to personalizing our products and services to the specific needs of each customer?
- How can we develop supply networks that would be more flexible in responding to unanticipated disruptions in production or logistics?
- How could we harness sensor technology to create more visibility into how our customers are using our products and use this information to deliver more value and deepen trust with our customers?
Focusing your questions on these kinds of new and big opportunities rather than on the existing activities of the organization can also help you to sidestep your fear that questioning will be seen as a sign of weakness, since there’s no way you could be expected to know the answers.
These broader questions also communicate that you have a sense of ambition, that you want to take the organization way beyond where it is today. And you can bolster your credibility by providing evidence of those long-term trends that underlie your question – for example, emerging technologies that are likely to offer new opportunities, or demographic shifts that will create some significant unmet needs among your customers.
