As a founding member of the Central Maryland chapter of Conscious Capitalism, Wendy was psyched to sit down with Wendy Baird, president of insight180 and fellow Conscious Capitalism of Central Maryland (C3MD) founder, to talk about how she practices conscious culture and how it has impacted her business.
The Central Maryland Chapter of Conscious Capitalism officially lifted off earlier this week. The room was packed with good people. We gathered at the newly remodeled (and gorgeous!) Coho Grill.
[Important side note: The Coho Grill has a great beer selection including options from Heavy Seas, Evolution, Flying Dog and Jailbreak.]
The Conscious Capitalism movement is not new. Businesses have proven that when you act from your heart, profits are a natural consequence. Costco, Whole Foods, The Container Store and Apple are a just a few of the companies that have put people before profits.
I was asked to speak at the event and talk about how we’re putting some of the Conscious Capitalism concepts into practice.
My Team has been “unconsciously conscious” since we first formed back in 2009. We are realtors but we believe that “what" we do is less important than "how and why" we do our work. Our Team culture has created a foundation for everything that we have been able to accomplish over the past few years. Our culture affects how we engage with our stakeholders: our clients, our vendors, our realtor colleagues and the community.
The “how and why” both add meaning to our work and it changes the experience for everyone.
