Episode Details

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Simone Dowding who has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and has spent a year studying meditation and Buddhist philosophy with “His Holiness”, the Dalai Lama in the Himalayas. Simone is the founder of Conscious Business Evolution. She is a social enterprise expert, conscious business keynote, conscious capitalist, brand developer and strategist. 

Simone used to be the Managing Director at Change Coffee, and not long ago Head of this social enterprise at World Vision Australia, the first social enterprise on a mission to eradicate global poverty by 2030 and to use their profits to fund life-changing projects globally focusing on the economic empowerment of women.

In this special chapter of Inspired Evolution, Amrit interviews Simone on two different occasions to talk about how Simone thrives to connect, inspire and make a difference in every single moment of her life, and how she loves to support people making conscious choices that positively impact their lives and the world.

The first interview is live and takes place at “Get Hacked & Get Hi” in Melbourne, Australia, and the second one is performed virtually some other day in which they dive into the whole conversation a bit further.

In the biohacking wellness event they talk about Simone’s three principles that make a difference in the world and solve humanity’s most urgent challenges, her journey finding these key values, what was it like walking back into the actual environment with a conscious leadership model that operates with kindness and compassion, and how these values help her day by day with the decision making process.  

Furthermore, they talk about all the challenges she had to face bringing awareness of leadership into the world, tools to manage all what she wants to achieve, how to break the pattern of worry and the importance of facing fears.

In addition you will enjoy 5 minutes of meditation with Simone to release dark energy and honour a space of white seeds.

In the second interview, they dive in a bit further. According to Simone, corporates hold the key to solving humanity’s most urgent challenges. They must employ commercial enterprise to create sustainable initiatives and lead by example by being profitable, accountable, responsible and conscientious.

They talk about the inner work Simone does every day to build a bigger mountain of white seeds to create mental wellness, the world as a space of conscious capitalism, new systems to be seen in the business world and the importance of having conscious corporate leadership.

In this episode you will learn how to consciously operate with kindness and compassion, master the tools to manage all what you want to achieve, face fears, build resilience, shift to a place of “we” instead of “me” taking self responsibility in actions and mindfully making choices that are in service to all, articulate what you stand for, and consciously evolve your organization in alignment with your principal values.
