Conscious Capitalism Indianapolis
Conscious Leadership - Focusing on "We" not "Me"
5:00pm - 7:00pm
The Vogue
Conscious businesses can only exist with Conscious Leaders. They are the stewards, the pioneers of good. They understand that their role is to keep the business focused on its purpose. Conscious leadership goes beyond the rallying of a team, or inspiring productivity. Conscious Leaders support the people within their organization and create value for all stakeholders as they strategically look ahead for sustainability. They recognize the integral role of culture and purposely create a Conscious Culture of trust and care.
Hear from a group of leaders from two respected organizations who embody this definition. These leaders are at different stages of their own leadership journeys, and together are uniquely developing Conscious Leaders at all levels of their organizations.
Join us at The Vogue for some mid-summer connecting, learning, and fun as we explore the third tenet of Conscious Capitalism. Dress is casual & there will be music!
Cost: $30

IWL Board Member Mary Jovanovich Invited to Stanford to Speak on Charles Schwab Indianapolis
Women's Interactive Network at Schwab (WINS')
"Small WINS Matter"
 |
Stanford University's
Clayman Institute for Gender ResearchDirector Shelley Correll has proposed reducing gender biases in the workplace will be best achieved with a "Small Wins" approach to organizational change. Charles Schwab Indianapolis
Women's Interactive Network at Schwab (WINS') project to encourage young females to pursue a career in the financial industry was identified by the Clayman Institute as a "small win." Stanford selected the project to be presented at their Women's Conference on May 24, 2018 during the corporate practitioners showcase breakout session, and Mary Jovanovich was invited to present the project.

Indianapolis WINS invited 40 girls from the
One Girl at a Time program
to attend a half-day event at the Indianapolis Call Center to learn about the various roles within the center. The girls were given a tour of the facility, and other WINS members shared their career journey to help demystify preconceptions about required skills sets. In addition to the tour and the testimonials, the girls also received a financial literacy class on investment basics, and ended the day with a private screening of
The Empowerment Project
. Mary said,
"The idea was to spark interest at an early age to encourage the girls to consider the possibility of working the in the industry after college, and offer ideas on what steps they could take now to best position themselves during their college years for future success."
The project was selected based on the criteria of education, the diagnosis of bias, developing tools to overcome, intervene, and evaluate all the possible barriers . It is the Clayman Institute's belief small wins can produce "contagion," inspiring other wins down the road.
While small wins are often criticized for their smallness, these small wins can produce important changes in their own right and spiral into larger changes later on. We are proud to have Mary on our team, and Charles Schwab as a loyal supporter of IWL Foundation. When businesses in our community take the initiative to invest in our future leaders, real change can be made.

IWL CEO Kim Graham Lee Talks Conscious Capitalism on "Taking Care in Business" Podcast
 |
Kim Graham Lee, CEO of IWL Foundation, volunteers her time as President of the Indianapolis Chapter of Conscious Capitalism - the growing, global movement of using business as a force for good to "elevate humanity."
Founded in 2010 by John Mackey and Raj Sisodia, Conscious Capitalism centers around the four tenets of Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Orientation, Conscious |
Culture and Conscious Leadership. Part of the philosophy that Kim addresses in this podcast is that in business today there is a need for what are typically considered "feminine values," and that together men and women can combine their strengths to achieve greater impact for their organizations.

Our theme for June is
Listening. How often do you take the time to pause and truly consider ideas different than yours? When you hear an idea that sparks your interest, do you ask more? It doesn't always come naturally, but we can learn more from one another than we can by just reinforcing our own norms. This month, we're challenging you to listen and act on the things you hear.
Whenever you hear someone - at work or at home - say something that makes you think twice, don't let that moment pass. Ask, "What makes you think that way? Can you tell me more about that? What experiences led you to that idea?" You will learn things you never would have without asking, and you will strengthen your relationships with these individuals. You never know what you'll uncover just by stopping to
listen.
