In Episode 22, Carol continues her talk with Judi Neal, a recognized expert and academic on spirituality in the workplace. Judi speaks and consults internationally. Clients include Pfizer and GE, as well as non-profits.

In this second part of a two-part interview, you’ll learn about the power of tapping into a knowing that goes beyond the rational, how Johnson and Johnson creates sacred space at their headquarters, and why Aetna is such a big proponent of mindfulness at work. You’ll also hear Judi’s take on the long-term prognosis for businesses as a place for human beings to thrive as well as tips for getting started on bringing spirituality into the workplace. We wrap up with Judi’s reflections on a life so much bigger than she could have ever imagined, with miracle after miracle, and a delightful personal exchange between Carol and Judi.
