I wanted to have this conversation because I too once worked for my family business. I have also worked for a brand in transition from one generation to the next and had the great honor of helping guide them through that process. It’s really reminiscent of all of the work I do, which is working with brands to identify their core values and points of differentiation, while creating strategies that help them grow and remain relevant in today’s ever changing world. So this topic is extraordinarily relevant, not just for those working in a family business, but for those who are looking to grow in authentic and substantial ways.

“Sacred Commerce is a business built by heart” is the theme of this Women at Work conversation with Cary Mosier of Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre. Held at the Rose Tarlow Melrose House showroom in West Hollywood where Mosier shared the heart behind the business along with the triumphs and failures along the way. Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre are founded on the unique business principle that we all are connected and that the only real win is the win-win. The business practices of the Mosier family are good for the planet, their employees, their investors and customers all in one. Their concept was to create a work environment that doubled as a school of transformation for their staff as well as their customers. Founded on an experiment to find out: “What will happen if we use the workspace to cultivate the most important human values — such as love, gratitude, connection and trust?” a restaurant revolution was born.

Gail shares tips on how to achieve the higher states of energy and create better relationships with your clients.
