One World in a New World with Carol Sanford – Author, Behavior Disruptor – E.P.-Regenerative Business Summit, 5x TED Speaker
An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)

Carol’s most recent book, The Regenerative Life: Transform Any Organization, Our Society, and Your Destiny (2020), sets forth her belief that “we need a better theory of change, one that goes beyond the heroic and do-good models and that taps into, develops, and releases the inherent potential of every human being to live in ways that make meaningful contributions to the world.”

We are fortunate and honored to have Carol as a guest. She’s known as a disruptor across a wide swath of companies and industries and this conversation is an example. Carol begins by noting her newest book about how a deeper look at behaviorism has the capacity for facilitating systemic change.

She learned from her Mohawk grandfather that there was no such thing as inner and outer, that there is a whole in which we are embedded. She shares how he affected her life and future work in the regenerative culture. The exploration holds deep wisdom for today.

Carol’s wisdom comes through in defining the three areas of work in life; developing self leads to being able to attract and work with others on specific goals toward something relevant. She speaks to consciousness being recognizable in a fleeting moment, then it’s gone. Regenerating that ‘moment’ moves us toward further embodiment of consciousness.

The conversation floats back and forth in attempting to ‘frame’ the experience of consciousness in the moment, which Carol regards as very concrete… the observation of observing an activity, for instance. The regenerative capacity in the continued observation is constantly interrupted by distractions in thinking. Consciousness is a moment of observing something of interest.

You are invited to take the challenge Carol offers our viewers, though you’ll have to listen for it. You will be intrigued with the quest she offers for the moment. She speaks to being undivided, such as the ability to listen to the words being spoken and paying attention to them as they are crafted. Life for humans, in her opinion, is about being as conscious as possible in every moment.

One of the best examples of the concept is being able to consider one’s intention to function at a certain level with a group and then observing our behavior to see how well we match up on the fly. Carol shares some very important and practical methods in learning how to work together, starting with individual beliefs, listening to others’ ideas and then allowing new ideas to emerge from the two.

This conversation, as challenging as it appears at times in finding congruence, is one of the most valuable opportunities to observe the process of finding common ground. Carol’s sharp intellect and wisdom from experience shines through the challenges with the ALS and her strength. You won’t want to miss this apocalyptic chat as she is a gem for the future of humanity.
