Book Cover & Preview Text
On the journey of life, we meet numerous co-travelers. And every person we meet has hopes, dreams, ambitions, and stories hiding in their hearts like warmth in ember. But we don’t remember all of them. In fact, only a handful of people make an indelible impression on our minds. Marc-Antoine Tschopp, or MAT as we call him lovingly, is one such person for me. In the last three decades, I have had the good fortune of meeting some truly remarkable people. From billionaires to the most erudite scholars and teachers, from world-class athletes to amazing writers, and I learned something from each of them. However, my first impression when I met MAT in 2015 was a different story. Here was a wonderful person, a successful entrepreneur, a life coach, but he carried and exuded zen-like serenity. The kind that comes from a person who is no longer anxious about things beyond our control, the type that comes from the one who is in harmony with the world around him. And there is much to be learned from such people. For, there are a million books out there that can give you all kinds of information, but only a few speak from genuine experience. Elevating CEO Consciousness is one such book. It is full of great insight to help anyone master and apply the art of leadership not only in business but in all aspects of their lives. Going back to my first meeting with MAT, I remember a particular visual where he was sitting quietly bathing in the warm winter sun in the Himalayan mountains (that’s where I live) unaffected by the lack of amenities due to the remoteness of the place. In my humble opinion, someone operating with a higher level of CEO Consciousness must have that serenity of mind. The storms will be raging around you, but that doesn’t mean the rage should storm out of you to deal with the challenges. For, a great CEO is not someone who’s always screaming on the field like a worked-up football coach but also bonding with his team in silence back in the dressing room. And that’s precisely where MAT does an excellent job in Elevating CEO Consciousness. He goes to the root of the issue: your mind, your consciousness. Sharing interesting lessons, he makes this heady cocktail mixing his own experiences with a wide array of philosophies—both from the East and the West—offering us a truly holistic view of leadership. As Bear Grylls says in If I Could Tell You Just One Thing: It is not the most masculine, macho, or the ones with the biggest muscles who win. It’s those who look after each other, who remain cheerful in adversity, who are kind and persistent and positive. These are the characteristics that help you, not just to survive life but to enjoy it. The people who are successful are the ordinary ones that just go that little bit further, who give a little more than they are asked to, who live within that extra five percent. While each one of us has to walk our own path and arrive at the truth in our manner, Elevating CEO Consciousness does a wonderful job of carving out a path for the reader. MAT doesn’t just go a little bit further but a lot further than most authors I’ve read. At times, you will feel like you are reading a deep work of philosophy. The Storm, the paths, the map, the compass, and the true north. He has simplified the whole journey and art of leadership covering strategies and enhancing the fundamental idea of being mindful and thriving in a constant flow of awareness. What I find beautiful about MAT and his book is that it is not just the message but the messenger too is grounded in reality and truth. It is, perhaps, why I could not say no to writing a foreword for him and I’m mighty glad that I didn’t say no. After all, what could possibly be more joyous than the feeling that you’ve done your two cents’ worth to make this world a better place, to make a difference in someone’s life? That’s exactly what MAT and his work stand for: making a positive difference in the lives of others. So, “no” wasn’t an option. The readers—who may or may not be CEOs— that will benefit from this read and resultantly run more purposeful and meaningful organizations is potent enough a cause that warrants nothing else but a yes. This book is unique in ways more than one. If you are pressed for time, you can just randomly open any page and give it a go and in great likelihood, you will walk away with an insight. I hope you enjoy and gain from this read tremendously and go on to do beautiful things with your blessed lives. Peace. Om Swami

About the Book
The success of any company depends on a small number of significant decisions made by the CEO. But how do you ensure that you have the mindfulness to make that one decision right when it matters the most? The tsunamis of economic conditions and competition will continue to slap against your ship, but that doesn’t mean you have to be tossed about. There is a way to stay above water. That’s how I built my businesses, and that is precisely how I have been guiding great CEOs over the last twenty years.
This book is a potent summary of the insights I gained by working with some of the most brilliant minds across various industries. I have learned that consciousness is the fundamental difference between a great leader and an average one. Great CEOs operate from a level of conviction and decisiveness that comes from a heightened consciousness. The more we trust this perfection, the better decisions we make.
Join me in mastering your CEO consciousness in six steps. It has worked for me and every leader I have coached.
