A company’s spirit and how that is expressed for the common good is what centers a business to not only survive but thrive. The technological revolution has been the golden ring businesses have been trying to grasp. With that focus, a shift away from the human genius has formed. Since Covid, however, companies have realized that it’s not electrical receptors that advance us, but rather the human connection that builds a company’s true success. So where does humanity fit in to keep pace with technology? We have only one place to go and that is to develop ourselves in our innate human capacities.
In this episode, Christine welcomes Brian G. Bachand, Founder of Evolution Evolution, to discuss whether spirituality has a role in business. Christine and Brian discuss what spirituality is and distinguish how it is NOT a religion.

This is Part 2 of a Business of Being Human Bonus Episode. It is from the Intune Collective Salon discussion The Role of White Leaders in Achieving Racial Equity. It is the first in a series of discussions spotlighting critical perspectives for creating work cultures that meaningfully foster diversity, belonging, inclusion, and equity.
In this episode, Christine welcomes Karen Fleshman, Founder of Racy Conversations and Author of “White Women, We Need to Talk,” and Jared Karol, Author of upcoming book, “A White Guy Confronting Racism,” to discuss the role of white leaders in bringing about racial equity. Dignity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging—DEIB—isn’t an HR issue or a special initiative; it is a necessary human development strategy for all organizations.
Christine, Karen and Jared discuss all the different conditions and catalytic events that spurred this imperative change that affects not only individuals’ lives but also, work environments. They clearly define specific DEIB terms and offer insight and frameworks on how individuals, specifically people who identify as white, can do the work to provide safe space and support their fellow BIPOC peers.
Christine, Karen and Jared also offer recommendations on what white leaders within corporations can do to consciously approach DEIB work and advocate for their BIPOC employees. It requires that in every aspect of your corporation, “everyone with a face” learns, practices, embodies and models your organization’s values around equity.
Finally, they encourage us to envision what the world and workplace could be if all white leaders join in bringing about racial equity.
