Contents and Overview

Conscious Business: “Creating Fulfilling Relationships & Great Teams” – provides you with the building blocks - the Conscious Business Principles - for well-functioning relationships and teams. In a clear and methodical way, you will:

  1. Learn the 2 foundational principles for any positive relationship

  2. Learn how to authentically communicate in a way that creates trust and understanding - even in a conflict situation

  3. Understand how to deal with any conflict, and how to actually use any conflict to improve the relationship.

Developed by experts in human behavior and consciousness, executives and advisors to top business leaders and politicians, this module uses the experiences from most successful people and companies to help you improve the way you work and live.   

This course contains 13 videos and 6 exercises to apply the material to your work and life.

We've taught these principles to over 30,000 of corporate leaders in the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa. These approaches have changed the way they lead their teams and organizations.

“I've been applying all the wonderful approaches you've given me, and I'm happy to say it has been going really well. It is so heartening to get e-mails from my people saying they appreciate my leadership and that is all thanks to you.”
H.M. -- VP, Intel


We developed this program because most of us have never learned how to create and maintain well-functioning relationships. Look around – our world is full of conflict – and we still haven’t figured out how to solve it. This course will teach you how you can change any relationship: with your spouse, your family, your friends, or your peers at work.

This course gives you an leg-up in any business situation, because you will be able to steer the relationship in the direction you want it to go.

Join a movement of thousands of professionals and executives around the world. Create fully aligned and engaged teams, and help change the way we conduct business in the world.

This course provides clear recommendations to develop trust in both personal and business settings. Trust is key for high performance. I also enjoyed the concept of into-me-see to structure communication and understanding of each other needs.

Explicaciones claras y ejemplos practicos que me permiten comprender y aplicar en el dia dia lo aprendido para mejorar el trabajo con mi equipo y construir relaciones solidas y duraderas

By JORGE ALBERTO GONZALEZ BEAR on 8/6/2025

Es interesante la información compartida. Totalmente ciento, muchos puntos de vista con visiones distintas en un mismo equipo, eventualmente habrá problemas operacionales si no hay un dialogo correcto y si no estamos dispuestos a escuchar a la contraparte. Ciertamente nadie tenemos la razón total, siempre es importante escuchar con atención cuando alguien nos hace comentarios, de entrada la otra persona tiene interés y expone su punto de vista, por lo que si compartimos el nuestro, podemos llegar a un resultado mejor a que si seguimos trabajando con una visión aislada.

this was a very interesting course. I feel this concept is one that I will work to try and apply to my everyday life. Work and home, Family, Friends, Co workers, Boss. Conflict has Always been an issue for me. I do not do well at all with conflict. but maybe this will help me.

The course truly enlightened me in not only building but also maintaining and sustaining good relationships. Furthermore, it has showcased the possibility of using it at home as well. The step by step approach/process is easy to follow. I shall practise, practise, practise! Thank you Peter Matthies! You were clear and concise, straightforward and easy to follow.

The skills were very practical and made a lot of sense. Some of the examples used were a bit outdated though (eg a couple hosting a dinner party and the wife getting annoyed at the husband for not helping... I think an adult man should know exactly what is expected in this situation in 2022).

By Abdal Ahmed Siddavatam on 9/3/2022

1) Expecting some situational based shot videos, instead of an explanation of the same. Which takes more time to understand. 2) More theoretical explanation at a stretch moves the listener away from Active listening. So more interactive based sessions, videos can be foreseen.

By Valerie Rasines on 7/4/2022

Balance of theory and scenario based examples of how to put the theory and principles in practice. I do find the intro of the sections though a bit at odds iwth the teaching. what do 3 women in tak tops have to do with the topic. That's a disconnect.

By Anonymized User on 2/5/2021

Relevant examples..liked the content too..Observations - Feeling - State is nice....managing conflits..Actor -Reactor mode was nice too..the facilitator could be more engaging..
