Enlightened?—meaning that they “get it” about food

J. Morris Hicks — Prepared to help business executives lead their associates in taking charge of their health.

My #1 goal for the next six months is to launch my first “workplace health promotion” consulting project with a business client. I have decided to begin my search for that first client by identifying executives in the United States who “get it” in terms of the power of plant-based nutrition to prevent, slow, stop or reverse most of the diseases that cost employers billions of dollars.

For most businesses in the United States, disease and the cost of health care is a huge problem. Not only does disease cost a lot of money, it also takes its toll on employee productivity, creativity,  absenteeism and morale. I am now prepared to leverage my multi-faceted business background to assist clients in going after that huge waste of money and human potential.

Leadership is key. I have concluded that the success of this type of project hinges on the understanding and support of the top executive in the organization—the CEO, the President or the General Manager. So I am committed to finding those special business leaders out there who are ready to do something great for their employees, the families of those employees and the bottom line of their business—by teaching everyone in the organization how to take charge of their health.

I am looking for business leaders who’ve read & appreciate this book.

In short, I am looking for business leaders who may have read and appreciate the works  of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Neal Barnard and others.

Do you know any such business leaders? Please give me a call at 917-399-9700. Or send me an email at jmorrishicks@me.com

A little background. For most of my business career since 1972, I have been involved in raising productivity, reducing costs and increasing profits in a host of organizations. As a president, general manager or as a management consultant, I have employed the same “process-improvement” skills to identify waste and increase profitability.

I now wish to leverage that business background with my more recent knowledge of the whole, plant-based diet-style to help businesses reduce costs and improve productivity. The beauty of this opportunity is the simplicity. In a nutshell, we want to help employees learn the “why” and the “how” for greatly increasing the amount of whole, plant-based foods in their diets. And we want to give them an incentive to move in that direction.

I hold an industrial engineering degree from Auburn University and an MBA from The University of Hawaii

Project details. My role in these projects will be to help educate, facilitate, organize, train, administer, report, celebrate and assist the top executive in every possible way to help all of the employees decide to take charge of their own health.

Realistically, we know that many of the employees will not take advantage of this opportunity, but a great many of them will—enough of them to make a sizable dent in the overall cost of health care for the enterprise. Further, their energy, enthusiasm and morale boost will be felt throughout the entire organization.

As for my background and qualifications for conducting projects of this nature, I have provided links to three pages of information:

• My speaker profile (detailing my food & health expertise)
• Introduction to 4Leaf consulting (on my 4Leaf website)
• Detailed background. My experience and qualifications for this kind of consulting

Executive Search. For the past fifteen years, my primary source of income has been my executive search business, The Ansley Consulting Group. I am now drawing upon that experience to launch the most important search assignment of my career—and I need your help. Again, my phone number is 917-399-9700.
