Don't let profits be your kryptonite!

Discover your business's superpowers: your purpose, your people, and your values.

Prevailing wisdom tells business leaders to focus primarily on profit, which works in the short term...until your company inevitably encounters a crisis. Then the one thing that can save your company is the very thing walking out the door.

For twenty-five years, Shaara Roman, CEO and founder of The Silverene Group, has worked directly with executives to build company cultures that not only keep their businesses afloat in times of need but also lead them to greater profits and sustainability. Now for the first time ever, she shares the same wisdom in The Conscious Workplace, giving leaders of every industry the chance to build intentional cultures of their own.

Combining Roman's diverse and unique experiences as an entrepreneur, HR executive, and Fortune 500 leader, straight-from-the-headlines research, and practical, actionable advice, The Conscious Workplace provides rich business insights to help leaders transform their companies by building purpose-led, people-centric, and values-driven cultures. Explore high-profile examples from companies like yogurt maker Chobani, mattress company Leesa, and King Arthur Baking Company, which have all harnessed a strong company culture to create a truly resilient business. No matter the size of your organization, The Conscious Workplace can show you how to get the most out of your greatest resources-people, purpose, and values-by investing in them. And when you focus on what really matters, as these case studies show, you make good on your commitment to ESG and increase profits.

A thought-provoking and thorough examination of the current state of workplace culture and the opportunities the future holds, The Conscious Workplace shows leaders at all levels how to strengthen their business to thrive in any crisis.

"Shaara Roman is both a passionate advocate for and an expert on establishing workplace cultures that foster inclusion, innovation, and growth. She sums up what she's learned as an executive and as a consultant about how to create and nurture such cultures in her book, The Conscious Workplace. A mix of illustrative case studies and practical and proven tips for implementation, The Conscious Workplace is a valuable resource for any leader at any level who understands that culture drives outcomes and who wants to create a conscious culture whether it's for a large company, a small team or any organization in between."

"I received an advance copy of "The Conscious Workplace" and I'm very impressed. It's a very compelling read. The examples/stories are very relatable, tangible with practical applications. I loved types of cultures - especially NICE culture - I've seen this too often with all the good and bad that comes with it. I think this is timely as companies are struggling with how to transition from pandemic response to a new way of working, relating, learning, integrating etc. This is a must read for all levels of leaders."

"Shaara Roman's The Conscious Workplace: Fortify Your Culture to Thrive in Any Crisis(Bedgebury Press, 2022) provides a valuable frame of reference to help board members better understand what their oversight of human capital entails. The book is written for corporate leaders rather than specifically for boards, but it illuminates ways for boards to understand, evaluate and support management's efforts to protect and enhance this very valuable company asset, which of course doesn't appear on the company's balance sheet."

"5/5 STARS: Thank you, Bedgebury Press, for the advance reading copy. I love, love, love this book and have made notes from it which I will start their application anytime soon!
The book has ten chapters which focuses on some very important issues which we usually tend to ignore, that is, regarding culture and inclusion; why they matter and what changes these will bring when we focus on them.
I am looking towards some improvement as a continuous process at my workplace for which I will definitely need some help! And this book provides just that. I have noted some important key parts, specifically the last chapter which provides a fresh outlook in the future of business. You will definitely find lots of answers to some of your gnawing questions from this read if you have been facing troubles in belonging at your workplace."
