PART 3

In part 3 of this interview with Emilie Mogensen of the Heartfulness Institute, Tami speaks about bringing transformation through business, somatic spirituality, and emotional intelligence.

Q: Is business the place to change the world?

I don't really buy into that. I know a lot of business people who say this, and you could make a case, because entrepreneurs are intensely innovative and have great potential when it comes to solving problems. Take, for example, climate change. We certainly can't wait for the political bodies to solve anything, so the business sphere had better come up with some really creative solutions. I'm behind the case.

But I deeply believe that whoever you are, wherever you are, in education, a police officer, or a medical person, that is your place for change. I happen to be a business person. I spend my days with teams to create new products with educational and transformational value.

I want to transform the world. If each one of us took it upon ourselves to say, “This is where I walk, let me transform that,” that's powerful. The path of conscious evolution is about committing to our path.
