Living in Company

About the Book

Living in Company is a book designed for reflection - self-inquiry - finding personal answers. The chapters are short and designed to be read one at a time: read and reflect. The book is an invitation to try new perspectives: it is for individuals who want to explore, "There must be more to life" - one's spirituality.

Living in Company explores the duality of values that we apply at work and in the rest of our lives, and looks at dissolving the duality "My Work" and the rest of "My Life".

Living in Company looks at: what effect attitudes and beliefs have on our lives - what kinds of leaders there are - how do we feel about change and comfort, and what is the connection between them - what do teams and tourists have in common - "Corporate gardening"! - what is the real nature of power - pre-bundled human software: the operating system exposed - what makes us tick - and much more.

The company is seen as an organic entity - a group of individuals working together, so the more the individuals are aligned with their values and goals, and the more they share themselves: then the better the company will perform, and the better place it will be to work/live in.

Living in Company contemplates many topics that are already familiar to those working in the corporate world. The ideas set out are not designed to persuade or convey a new "truth", but rather to stimulate reader reflection - to help listen how it is for you - to provoke the sharing of "how it is for me" - to create more alignment about values.

Living in Company proposes to the leaders of companies that the only real way to have better results than competitors is through having the members of the company contribute more (not working harder - but doing more with less). The more the individual feels at ease with himself, the more he is available to contribute to the company.

This book is intended for individuals interested in: self-help - personal transformation - spirituality.

This book is intended for use in companies for: training - human resources and personnel management - organizational learning - coaching

About the Author

Nigel Buxton worked for many years for Ernst & Young in Italy and for Ametek Inc. (USA). When he turned his attention to looking at his life issues (in his forties!), he dived into the spiritual swimming pool with his Indian Master; but he was then faced with the dilemma of reconciling his work "in the world" with the truth found at meditation retreats and spiritual/consciousness workshops.

This book is the result of bringing those two "worlds" together.

Nigel Buxton is a business consultant, executive coach and runs development courses for individuals and companies, based in Slovenia.
