1 Spirituality in Business
With: Howard Martin Executive Vice President, HeartMath LLC Co-author, The HeartMath Solution The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

3 Social Trends A change in the “consciousness climate”
Re-evaluation about what is important Ambition without connected to values is not paying off Concerns about health and stress Customer relationships Social cause branding The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

4 Change Curve Adjustment Shock Resistance Discovery Worry Exploration
New empowerment leads to new solutions; new relationships strengthen resolve and resilience. Shock Anger Blame Fear Resistance To the future To being told how life has to change Confusion Discovery Seeking social support Spending more time in creative discovery Appreciating what we have Worry Our financial future will be ruined, our dreams shattered The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress. Loss of Control No one is there to help us Exploration Communication with others; focus on what to cut back; staying neutral instead of fear Depression Hopelessness, resignation

5 What are the characteristics of spirituality?
Matters regarding humankind's ultimate nature and purpose A sense of connection to something larger than oneself Religion/faith and belief systems The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

6 What people want Care, Compassion, Appreciation, Forgiveness and Non-judgment Integrity and Trust within themselves and with each other The ability to live their values in the work they do Meaning and belief in their organization Service to others The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

Source of self-security Intuition Positive emotional states Wisdom The driver of physiological & psychological synchronization-- Coherence

9 Social Coherence Social coherence is built as members of a group practice increasing their coherence baseline individually and collectively. Coherence at the social level maximizes the freedom of the individual members while maintaining cohesion and resonance within the group. The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

10 Social Coherence Change Model
The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

11 Social Coherence Increased social coherence occurs when a group (e.g. family, sports team, organization) increases its coherence baseline and shifts into a new functional mode, associated with greatly increased efficiency and effectiveness in communication, cooperation and co-creative output. Increasing social coherence enhances: innovative problem solving and intuitive discernment for addressing social, environmental and economic problems. This has been quantitatively demonstrated in several large organizational systems. The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

12 Individual Coherence - Proof of Concept
Improves Health and Reduces Health Care Costs ▪ Four weeks using coherence-building tools and coherence feedback technology to learn to shift to positive emotional states has been shown, on average, to reduce the stress hormone cortisol by 23% and increase anti-aging hormone DHEA by 100%. A study of correctional officers in California found that using coherence-building tools not only significantly reduced stress, anxiety and depression, but reduced a wide range of physiological health risk markers, resulting in a projected cost savings of: $1,200 per year per employee The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

13 Social Coherence – Proof of Concept
Hospital systems using coherence-building methods reduced stress, improved team coherence and increased patient satisfaction with significant social (SROI) and financial ROI: Swedish Hospital: Improved turnover from 22% - 9% for 600 staff trained, saved 78 jobs, estimated cost savings: $3.9 million. Sierra Providence: Improved turnover from 21% - 4% for 300 staff trained, estimated cost savings: $2.2 million. Duke University Health System (Emergency Services): Improved turnover from 36% to 5% for 250 staff trained, estimated cost savings: $3 million. The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

14 Individual Coherence – Proof of Concept
Students using coherence-building tools and heart coherence feedback technology to monitor their coherence-building who suffered from ADD / ADHD were shown to increase: • short term memory by 24%, • long term memory by 45% • comprehension by 28% and • attention to task by 9.5% The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

15 Social Coherence “If we knew nothing except that employee attitudes had improved 5%, we could predict that revenue would rise .5% above what it otherwise would have been... a 5% increase in employee attitude …drives… 1.3% increase in customer satisfaction and a .5% increase in revenues. ” — Harvard Business Review, 1.98 The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

16 What can we do to have more spirit in our businesses
Work on curing the Emotional Virus in the organization Create an environment of trust and open communication Exhibit more authentic care and appreciation for or employees, co-workers and customers Regularly re-evaluate the alignment of business practices, products and services with the mission/purpose of the organization 5. Provide appropriate resources that engender spirit in the business The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.

17 Your Questions The Freeze-Framer software demonstrates how these changing heart rhythms can be monitored real-time, and how the HeartMath techniques can quickly change the physiological response to stress.
