Conscious Intelligence Competencies

Human life unfolds within webs of connection, with the natural environment and with other people, and the global spread of COVID-19 made that interdependence hard to ignore. Many people experience the present as a time of disorder and pessimism. The author argues that this picture can shift when people begin orienting themselves around shared well-being rather than individual advantage. The book is written in an informal, approachable voice and weaves together personal stories, philosophical reflection and findings from scientific research. Its core is a framework of nine ethical competencies, presented by Dr. Stevie Carnegie, a conscious change ethicist, as groundwork for anyone who wants to make a difference in their own surroundings or in the wider world. Together the competencies are meant to supply the awareness, knowledge and understanding needed to grasp how relationships function in the twenty-first century, along with the practical skills required for a happy, healthy and harmonious life. The overarching aim is for people to live, grow and flourish together on this planet. The book is pitched at a broad readership: chief executives of large corporations and founders of one-person businesses, heads of government and community leaders, activists, life coaches, teachers and lifelong learners. It is also intended for anyone determined to bring about change in their own world or in the world at large. The author compares it to Emotional Intelligence and presents it as similarly important reading. The competencies are offered as a foundation for any conscious change topic, from conscious business to conscious parenting.
