Statement from the CEO
Cindy Wigglesworth worked with me while I was the CEO of The Methodist Health Care System in Houston. Together with other internal leaders we initiated and effected a successful culture change to live up to our goal of "a spiritual environment of caring". This culture change was rooted in our mission, vision and our I CARE values (Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence). Cindy's faith-neutral and yet faith-friendly approach to spiritual topics allowed us to embody Respect for our employees who are of many faith traditions. Her experience with what it takes to create a systemic culture change allowed us to design and implement a process to make a sustained difference in our culture –one that got us on the Fortune 100 Best Employers list and keeps us there today. SQ is a valuable approach to putting spirituality back into your company in a practical way and Cindy is a change agent who understands a CEO's perspective.

A "Spiritual Intelligence at Work Pilot" with the Palliative Care group: Cindy taught and coached to EQ and SQ skills over a nine-month period with a 24 hour in-hospital group of about 30 people. The group showed significant improvement on key measures over this period. The manager said that the terms "ego self" and "higher self" were a golden gift to the team. The language of spiritual intelligence enabled conversations of deep meaning across a diverse faith systems, including some professed atheists. The VP of HR agreed that the intervention accessed deeper meaning-making structures and stronger motivations for behavioral change than typical change efforts did.
