About the Author
Born in Wales to a Welsh father and French mother, Joolz Lewis has always looked at life from the outside in. Studying languages and spending long periods of time abroad - from Spain to the US to India - reinforced her passion for helping people understand human and cultural dynamics, especially when played out in the workplace. After the bubble burst on a 5-year stint living the corporate dream in the US, Joolz embarked on an 18-month-long sabbatical that took her from California to the Andes, the Burning Man festival in Nevada and to an ashram in India. Back in the UK her mission has been to inspire and enable business leaders to realise their dreams for personal success while making a difference to others. Today Joolz coaches and mentors visionary and courageous leaders to connect to their purpose, and to realise their own and others' potential. She also consults with organisations that want to grow in the right way, with universal human values at the heart of their business. Her philosophy is simple. That deep down, each of us wants to be happy, and that happiness lies in balancing personal success with an innate desire to leave a legacy - big or small. She successfully integrates years of spiritual practice with business experience that is down to earth and practical - integrating heart and mind.

Reviews
'The call went out for more inspirational leadership. Joolz has heard that call and most importantly she has been responsive and this book is her response. In Enlightened Business, Joolz inspires you to a whole new possibility of the purpose of your work and leadership. Read, be inspired, and come home to the heart of you.' - Nick Williams, author of eight books including The Work We Were Born To Do
'Do you want to find a way to be both spiritual and effective as a leader? This book gives you one idea per chapter theme which is tested and practical. Pick the ideas that you need right now and try them. Uncover and utilize your authentic presence and highest potential to make a difference in your life, your organization and in the world.' - Cindy Wigglesworth, author of best-selling book SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence
'The energy and creativity that derives from that state of consciousness that is greater than one's habitual self has always been said to be "ineffable". It is an experience that cannot be spoken about; as it says in the Tao and religions it can't be explained in logical linguistic linear ways. Joolz Lewis has connected these wisdoms into a useful, clearly articulated manual to help business people, leaders and managers of large organisations to tap into that experience and enable them to invest that energy into their organisation and people to develop entities that will succeed and grow for the good. If I'd had this leadership book during my time at M&S it would have given me the confidence to lead more from my intuition and with faith in my "purpose", and my leadership would have looked very different.' - Lord Andrew Stone, former Joint Managing Director of M&S
