Wholeness in a Disruptive World cover

Wholeness in a Disruptive World offers timely insights and practical advice on how we can stay balanced in face of challenges, sustain our best work in the long haul, and contribute to the larger world around us. Wholeness draws on the combined wisdom of Eastern and Western thinking, along with extensive interviews with leaders and executives, to show the way towards wholeness - both for us as individuals, as well as for our organisations and communities. "A practical path to the integration of Eastern values and Western thinking that is good for the soul and good for our organisations." Flawless Consulting and Stewardship "As the pace and intensity of modern life ratchet up, Wendy's emphasis on wholeness is more important than ever." New York Times bestselling author

"While much of the leadership literature focuses on doing and leading others, Wendy provides an existentialist perspective of the leaders' personal inner journey towards Wholeness and Being. I read with joy that leadership is a journey of awakening - uncovering, unfolding and reclaiming the very gifts that have been all along within us. In this journey we become Wisdom, Peace and Grace. A great read and encouragement for leaders embarking on this journey of awakening." -- Dr Lim Boon Huat, Managing Director, Rohde & Schwarz "Wendy's book offers a refreshing perspective on how being whole as an individual is both a precursor and result of being whole as a community. We are not complete as people until we have connected with others around us. This can be as simple as noticing a stranger, sharing a smile, offering service to others or most importantly, by being simply present to one another. Through honouring one another, we transform the experience of being with one another into a broader experience of wholeness, connectedness and meaning." -- Melissa Aratani Kwee, CEO, National Volunteer and Philanthropic Centre "Fluent in the ways of the West and the East, Wendy tells through these stories a journey towards wholeness in individuals and organisations. Thirdness as a fusion of the parts is a creative idea to contemplate. Recommended for leaders who want meaning and success." -- Beverly Kaye, Co-author of Love 'Em or Lose 'Em and Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go "In touch with the work dilemmas facing the current generation, this book articulates a cohesive approach to life and leadership. It holds out hope for all of us to become our better selves and the possibility for community at the workplace. An excellent book for leaders more intent on changing themselves than changing others." -- Geoff Bellman, Author of The Consultant's Calling and Extraordinary Groups--various
