Culture

[close] In today’s increasingly diverse, global, interconnected business world, diversity and inclusion (D&I) is no longer just “the right thing to do,” it is a core to leadership competency and central to the success of business. Working effectively across differences such as gender, culture, generation, race, and sexual orientation not only leads to a more productive, innovative corporate culture, but also to better engagement with customers and clients. The Inclusion Dividend provides a framework to tap the bottom line impact that results from an inclusive culture. Most leaders have the intent to be inclusive, but translating that intent into a truly inclusive outcome with employees, customers, and other stakeholders requires a focused change effort. The authors explain that challenge and provide straightforward advice on how to achieve the kind of meritocracy that will result in a tangible dividend and move companies ahead of their competition.

[close] Hoopdance Revolution is a hands-on guidebook to healthy fun, regardless of age, size, or level of fitness. It combines the experiences of the exemplary people Jan Camp interviewed in her search for the essence of hoopdancing classes, at international events, and through personal interaction.

With enthusiasm and gentle humor, the book describes the many ways hula hooping merges with dance, aerobic exercise, juggling, and yoga, and demonstrates how to incorporate hoopdance into your daily routine. The book’s website hosts over a hundred videos of tutorials and performances by professional performers, teachers, and followers worldwide that inspire personal development and reveal the unsuspected physical and spiritual benefits of playing with a hoop: greater stamina, sharper mental acuity and emotional balance, increased spacial awareness, and an overall sense of well-being and connectedness.

Hoopdance Revolution chronicles a cultural movement toward wellness. Having fun and being fully engaged with a challenging activity opens us to the possibility of entering a vivid, sensory world of healing and transformation. The hoop is a tool for play, physical focus, and spiritual meditation. Dancing with a hoop, spinning in spirals and drawing patterns in the space around the body intensifies the sharpens the intentions we hold in our hearts so that what we truly desire can come to pass.

In hoopdance we corral all the energy necessary for a vital life.
