"B corporations are a new kind of business that balance purpose and profit. This community of leaders-now numbering over 4,000-is driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good. The inspirational leaders and engaging stories in The Purposeful Nine and Soulful Advantage represent the essence of B Corps because they are stakeholder-driven, always considering the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, community, suppliers, and environment. This book is a recommended read for business leaders focused on taking corporate purpose to an even higher level." -Bart Houlahan Co-Founder and Co-CEO, B Lab The Purposeful Nine and Soulful Advantage is for business leaders driven to catalyze more purpose within their companies and gain competitive advantage. It tells the stories of nine inspiring, purposeful businesses and for-profit social enterprises authentically committed to-and benefitting from-a strategy of making the world a better place. Unlike the majority of books focused on large consumer companies and well-known brands-think Ben & Jerry's, Microsoft, TOMS, Starbucks, Stonyfield Organic, LEGO, Timberland, IKEA, Unilever, Patagonia, Disney, Dove, Google, Warby Parker, etcetera. The Purposeful Nine and Soulful Advantage spotlights a fresh, diverse group of successful organizations that have been authentically purposeful for decades. Each story comes alive through the first-person perspective of the inspiring founders, CEOs, and sustainability leaders who reveal why they became more purposeful, what they did and how it created competitive advantage. Author, strategic communications veteran, and corporate purpose professional Andre Beaupre has captured the behind-the-scenes decisions and actions across a variety of triple bottom line essentials, including mission and values, workplace culture, sustainability, philanthropy, community engagement, social justice, and diversity/equity/inclusion. Measurable benefits experienced by the Purposeful Nine include mission-aligned, high-performance workplace cultures, recruitment and retention gains, new business impact, improved financial results, brand reputation enhancement, increased stakeholder loyalty, and value-driven customer/partner/supplier relationships. Not sure how to grow purpose? This book is brimming with ideas that will inform and inspire you to reach that goal. Business can, and must be, a force for good. By sharing first-person stories from the leaders who made purpose happen, the book will inspire a wide array of organizations to begin-or broaden-their impact.

What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better--and smarter--solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

A noted conflict-resolution expert explores dignity, its role in human conflict, and its power to improve relationships Drawing on her extensive experience in international conflict resolution and on insights from evolutionary biology, psychology, and neuroscience, Donna Hicks explains what the elements of dignity are, how to recognize dignity violations, how to respond when we are not treated with dignity, how dignity can restore a broken relationship, why leaders must understand the concept of dignity, and more. By choosing dignity as a way of life, Hicks shows, we open the way to greater peace within ourselves and to a safer and more humane world for all. For the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Dignity, Hicks has written a new preface that reflects on her experience helping communities and individuals understand the power of dignity and how it can lead to a more peaceful world. "Anyone who understands the importance of personal feelings and their fuel for conflict should consider Dignity as a powerful advisory and motivational guide."--Midwest Book Review Winner of the 2012 Educator's Award, given by the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.
