Care Isn't Just a Nice to Have... It's a Business Imperative'Care' and 'nurture' aren't words typically associated with business strategies. Yet, when one looks at leaders, business owners and experts who have had a real impact on others, care is almost always one of their defining characteristics. In fact, when you are able to practice care in your business - for your clients, for your staff and for yourself - you will find that you have increased retention and greater loyalty from both staff and clients, and far more sustainability in your business as a whole. It's Time to Make Care Your Competitive AdvantageBut practicing care in your business is not just a matter of being nicer. To truly make care your competitive advantage you have to understand what's holding you back (a feeling that you don't have time, or energy, for example). Once you understand what's holding you back, then you have to start building the mindset, process and systems to help you get over those fears so that you can really deliver that nurturing to those in your business sphere. This book will show you the steps you should take to implement care, real care, into your business in a way that's both actionable and effective. Whether you're looking to see your business sustainably into the future, or grow to the next step in your career, Jane's ability to show you just how to take the elements of care and build them layer by layer into your business will see you achieving your goals and more.

This book offers a new theoretical framework within which to understand ¿the mind-body problem¿. The crux of this problem is phenomenal experience, which Thomas Nagel famously described as ¿what it is like¿ to be a certain living creature. David Chalmers refers to the problem of ¿what-it-is-like¿ as ¿the hard problem¿ of consciousness and claims that this problem is so ¿hard¿ that investigators have either just ignored the issue completely, investigated a similar (but distinct) problem, or claimed that there is literally nothing to investigate ¿ that phenomenal experience is illusory. This book contends that phenomenal experience is both very real and very important. Two specific ¿biological naturalist¿ views are considered in depth. One of these two views, in particular, seems to be free from problems; adopting something along the lines of this view might finally allow us to make sense of the mind-body problem.An essential read for anyone who believes that nosatisfactory solution to ¿the mind-body problem¿ has yet been discovered.
