Informative Read/View
Linda Alverez’s, Discovering Agreements, will help you look at your legal agreements and relationships differently, better. “Discovering Agreement is a powerful alternative for those who are disenchanted with the old-style adversarial model. This new framework is ideal for socially responsible businesses already on the cutting edge of shifting business paradigms and those who avoid entering legal contracts because of the fear and mistrust inherent in the old model.”
Inspiration
Thank you to all who joined us for our May 3, Conscious Contracts event! Linda Alvarez and Mehrad Nazari inspired and showed us how connection, purpose, relationships, and transparent dialogue can truly be the foundation for our organizations’ formal and informal DNA.
