World-Class Business Change-Makers Reveal How Love Makes a Difference in Business 

Published

on

Love, in the sense of compassion, empathy, and understanding, is vital in business for several reasons:

  1.     When businesses show love and care for customers, it creates a solid emotional bond, improves customer loyalty, and leads to repeat business.
  2.     Love and positive relationships within a team can improve morale, motivation, and communication, leading to increased productivity.
  3.     A workplace culture of love and respect can create a positive and supportive work environment, attracting and retaining employees.
  4.     Love and empathy in business relationships can help build trust and promote strong partnerships, leading to more effective problem-solving and decision-making.
  5.     Love and compassion can help businesses create a sense of purpose beyond just making a profit by incorporating values such as social responsibility and environmental sustainability into their business model.

Founder, Editor in Chief, Media and News Publisher of MSP News Global, Mark Stephen Pooler, believes that life and business are not about competition but collaboration and cooperation. Showing love and exhibiting genuine human compassion in business is critical for lifting up those who have experienced challenging times. Sometimes, this can be as simple as listening. But incorporating love in business can certainly help to heal the world. Shared here is advice from some of the world’s most profound business change-makers for demonstrating ways to integrate love into business.

Marcia Martin is an International Best-Selling Author, Executive Trainer, and Founder of the Talk This Way for Success leadership development programs. For Marcia, incorporating love into the business place is crucial for results. Her recommendation for “love conquering all” is to lower the walls. Literally. Lowering the walls of cubicles enabling co-workers to see each other, and facilitating meetings where they are encouraged to share, leads to connections. A connected team is a more unified team, equaling better results.

Author, Catalyst for Change, and Inspirational Speaker Christine Marsh believes that the true reward for feeling valued, cared for, respected, and loved in business is something that money cannot buy. The emotional benefit, the bonus, is revealed when all of these essential elements are reciprocated within the workplace.

Sheri Elizabeth is a Manifestation and Mindset Coach who encourages others to pour love into negative situations to extinguish destructive fires. As Sheri believes, love is the natural state of being and the most powerful force in the universe. Once this power is an actual state of mind, it shows in all aspects of work, consciously and unconsciously. Putting love out enables it to come back.

Talia Adika, International Health Insurance Specialist, knows that business is all about relationship building, sharing, and showing compassion for others in the workplace. Therefore, love is the key to success, even in business, because all healthy relationships are nurtured. 

Tamara Hunter is a Keynote Speaker, Best-Selling Author, International Non-Profit Founder, and TV Show Host. Tamara, who views love through the lens of empathy and support, predicts it to be a vital business strategy for growth in the coming decade. 

As a High-Performance Wellness Coach and Founder of AponaHealing.com, Lidia Kuleshnyk, helps people master their inner power. As an expert on matters of the heart, Lidia believes the purpose of a business is to offer things that improve the world. By aligning with the heart and connecting with the soul, business becomes a natural extension of this universal love, allowing individuals to genuinely serve their clients.

Lydia Burchell is an International Speaker, Success Coach, and Founder of The World Love Project. Lydia recognizes that being a leader is complex, and running a business out of fear, anger, and doubt can often lead to significant challenges or failure. A business based on love tends to flow in synchronicity and builds positive energy by utilizing its resources of trust, connection, creativity and loyalty. And thus, more favorable results occur.

CEO, Producer, and Director of Film It Productions, Darla Rae, believes that approaching business operations with love and compassion as the guiding forces sets a healthy tone for the ideal business communications and working conditions.

Desiree Anderson, Founder of Crest Coaching & HR, equips companies to move forward by providing them with innovative coaching techniques, NLP, and healing strategies. As a leadership coach, Desiree sees many individuals struggling with low self-worth and advises clients to prioritize physical, mental, and spiritual self-care, making it the foundation of life.

Jacquie Freeman empowers individuals as a Reiki Master and helps them tap into the power of their inner guidance through Mandala and sound healing workshops. Utilizing love as the cornerstone for her teachings, Jacquie feels that combining love, service, and integrity is the magic combination for growing and flourishing in 2023.

CEO of Katie Carey Media LTD, Katie Carey, is a five times International Best-Selling Author and an International Spiritual Coach. For Katie, her world and business revolve around things she loves, and this way of living has allowed her to stand out within her industry. Importantly, it has allowed her clients to feel a genuine concern for their well-being leading to a successful business.

Diane Bovalino, Intuitive Healer, Spiritual Coach, and International Best-Selling Author is the owner of Lotus Soul Healing Arts. In this healing center, individuals are guided back to a state of an authentic self through an enlightening healing journey. As Diane believes, love comes from the heart’s center, and she refers to it as the “heart chakra.” Her healing and thriving advice utilizing love as the ultimate spiritual leader in 2023 is to place love at the core of business to increase teamwork, strengthen relationships and increase productivity. 

Dr. Angela Harden-Mack, MD, is a prominent voice for wellness and women’s empowerment and a five times Amazon Best-Selling Author. As Angela shares, expressing love in business can be done through kindness, generosity, and excellent customer service. Love is a remarkable example of how professionals approach personal and workplace development when demonstrated in its highest form. It can also open individuals up to opportunities where they may find elevated levels of success.   

Media personality, producer, and editor Janette Burke knows it is incredibly rare to never experience difficulties in business. It is imperative to find a genuine passion for any role, to survive and thrive through the inevitable challenging times. When love and commitment are ingenuine, it is not just the one faking that notices. 

Ultimately, love has EVERYTHING to do with business. In business, love can help create stronger relationships, foster a positive work environment, build trust, and give a sense of purpose, all of which contribute to a more prosperous and sustainable business.

New “Storybooks Club” is Bringing the Magic of Books to All Children with Special Needs in the U.S.

New “Storybooks Club” is Bringing the Magic of Books to All Children with Special Needs in the U.S.

Published on March 28, 2023

Imagination Storybooks (ISB) creates children’s books that enable all children to have a sensory experience, engaging all their senses, and increasing learning and development. ISB ensures their education is limitless by making books accessible, giving them the gift of communication in accessible language, and exploring what is possible.

Children ages 3-8 who are vision or hearing challenged or have a learning disability are limited by books not made for them. Children’s illustrated books like Winnie the Pooh have not been fully accessible to over 5 million children with special needs in the U.S., until now.

Richard Rieman founded the nonprofit, Imagination Storybooks, to bridge these gaps and support blind and deaf children. ISB ensures their education is limitless by making books accessible, giving them the gift of communication in accessible language, and exploring what is possible.

His team of narrators and interpreters—over a dozen of whom are visually or hearing-impaired themselves—combine digital picture books with audio descriptions of the illustrations and a digital braille file, as well as captions and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation.

“Today, everything can be read in a robotic voice on a device, but we are trying to give children a performance, and teach them to love books even at three, four, and five years old,” Richard explains.

Imagination Storybooks partners with the nationally recognized Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP.org), funded by the U.S. Department of Education, so tens of thousands of blind children, their parents, and their teachers have free access.

“We created a portal into the magical world of children’s books for children who are blind, deaf, or neurodiverse with learning challenges such as autism or dyslexia,” says Richard Rieman, “The Storybook Wizard,” Founder and CEO of the award-winning Colorado Nonprofit Imagination Storybooks.

The new “Storybooks Club” is bringing the magic of books to all children in three different ways:

  • Videos include sign language and captions that include the picture descriptions for deaf children.
  • Both video and audiobooks have pictures being richly described, so children who are dyslexic, autistic, or have other learning challenges can understand the story.

Imagination Storybooks Club members receive access to a library of children’s illustrated books in three formats: videos with ASL (American Sign Language) and captions; videos with AD (Audio Description); and audio files with AD, as well as bonus content for parents and teachers.

Now that the 1926 edition of Winnie-the-Pooh by AA Milne is in the public domain, Imagination Storybooks is producing accessible video and audiobook adaptations of the classic to everyone. The finished project will be over two hours in length.

“Our accessible audiobook version of Winnie the Pooh debuted at #1 in Children’s Anthology books on Audible,” says Richard.

Richard adds, “we want all children to fall in love with Winnie-the-Pooh and the beloved characters of Hundred Acre Wood including children who are blind, deaf, and learning challenged.”

The American Council of the Blind awarded ISB its Special Recognition Award in 2021 for dedicating its mission to fostering early literacy for children who are blind or have low vision.

Imagination Storybooks also produces the weekly Illustrated Audiobooks podcast, winner of the 2022 Communicator Award for Excellence as “Best Storytelling Podcast.”

About Richard Rieman, “The Storybook Wizard.”

Richard is the Founder and CEO of “Imagination Storybooks” at ImaginationStorybooks.org. He has narrated and produced hundreds of Indie-published audiobooks and is the author of the award-winning book, “The Author’s Guide to Audiobook Creation.” Richard Rieman is gradually losing his own eyesight due to glaucoma, but not his vision to make illustrated books accessible to ALL children. Audio and Video clips of Winnie the Pooh and other accessible books are available for all media.

Ignite Publishing Company Honors Fallen Employee Dania Zafar With A School Of Hope In Pakistan To Keep Her Legacy Alive

Published on March 27, 2023

The entire Ignite family has Dania in their hearts, and it is a profound honor to build something that allows the beauty Dania brought to the world to live on.

It is with heavy hearts that the team at Ignite Publishing, a Canadian-based publishing house, shares that their team member and friend, Dania Zafar, passed away in a tragic fire this past week in Montreal. “Dania was truly family to us, and her passion, ingenuity, compassion, and friendship will be truly missed,” shared Ignite founder JB Owen in a heartfelt statement to their community. “We are proud that Dania has been part of our team for 4 years since Ignite began. Her art and design gifts were instrumental in dozens of our books and magazines. Many of our beautiful creations are because of her artistic vision. Her smiles, soothing presence, and light will always be remembered, and her amazing talent and creativity as a designer will live on through the wonderful projects she created that have impacted many around the globe.”

Dania’s touch was seen in everything Ignite built as a company. She was fundamental in bringing their Ignite Humanity mission to life and intuitive to Ignite literacy and connections worldwide. She spearheaded Ignite Possibilities, a charity initiative to raise funds for schools in Indonesia and Cambodia. She worked hand-in-hand with many of our authors on their journey to bestseller publications. She was an integral part of all that Ignite is, and her impact on countless people cannot truly be measured. We also know that she worked with other amazing initiatives, including working with Discovery Education—which provides curriculum resources for elementary classrooms across the globe. Her impact will forever continue through these amazing projects in which she strove to immerse herself.

To honor the genuine and kind soul Dania was and to ensure her legacy of creativity and kindness is remembered forever, Ignite will be building a school in Pakistan, her home country, in her name. The Dania Zafar School of Hope will be a haven for children who dream big and love the arts. They hope this school will provide comfort to Dania’s family and create a place for them to honor and celebrate her life.

“This school is our way of showing the world just how valued and loved Dania was and always will be.” Owen shared. “She was a truly gifted individual whose calm, joyful, and giving nature will live on through all who cared for her and the countless children who will walk through the halls of her school.”

Many of the team, authors, and friends of Dania still cannot comprehend how such a gift to the world is gone, but they vow to carry Dania’s light with them in creating a place for Dania to be remembered. They send their love, prayers, and compassion to all who knew her. Her friends at Ignite have shared how loved she was by everyone whose life she touched:

“She brought goodwill into all she did, making sure everyone felt cared for and important around her. It is hard to imagine she is gone and not here to share her joyful spirit and peaceful glow. If ever there was a person who cared more than most, it was Dania.” -JB Owen

“Your light and your smile will forever be remembered. I have always admired you and your capacity to see the good in everything, always looking for the positive side, always looking for the best in everything you did. It has been a true honor and a privilege to see your creativity at work, your grace, and your calmness when accepting challenges. I pray for you and your family to find comfort and solace in knowing that your legacy will always stay with us, just like your beautiful smile.” -Carolina Gold.

“Dania’s creativity was outstanding. She was truly talented and a dream to work with. I will forever remember her laughter, humor, and caring. My love and prayers are with her and her family.” -Mimi Safiyah.

“Dania is an incredibly talented soul, and I saw her gifts in every project she touched. I will forever remember how blessed I was to work with Dania and feel comfort when I hold the books she created the covers on.” -Steph Elliot.

“It saddens me that the world has lost such a talented and wonderful person. Her brilliance was so apparent in everything she did, and her serenity and creativity were a blessing to be around. It is not often you get to meet someone so gifted and kind.” – Grace Regan.
