The Five Poisons of Business: Transforming the Patterns That Hold Us Back
by Deborah Peteler | at Minnebar20
In business, we often focus on strategy, growth, and execution—but rarely do we look at the internal patterns that quietly shape our decisions, relationships, and outcomes.
This session introduces the concept of the Five Life Poisons—anger, ignorance, ego, jealousy, and attachment—and how they show up in business environments.
Whether you are a founder, leader, or team member, these patterns can impact communication, decision-making, productivity, and overall success.
Through practical examples and guided reflection, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize these patterns in yourself and your organization Understand how they affect leadership and company culture Shift from reactive patterns to more intentional, effective responses
This is not about theory—it’s about awareness, clarity, and creating a more grounded and effective way of working.
