On July 12, 2005 The Orange County Register reported, "Orange County's sewer agency is seeking its 'corporate soul' - with the help of a leadership guru who's paid $180,000 a year. Dharma Consulting, known for bringing a spiritual dimension to business, has been working with the Orange County Sanitation District for several years. Dharma's $15,000-a-month contract was renewed in May; by next year, the company based in Leucadia in San Diego County will have made some $570,000 for its work with the district. 'The spiritual dimension can never be amputated from work. It can be ignored but never removed,' says Awakening Corporate Soul, the book that's on the shelves of the district's top brass... The Sanitation District's Anderson said Dharma's tenure has not been unusually long, and that its services have been vital as he tries to transform the sewer district from a typical government agency into a 'multi-tasking, high- performing' business... Anderson rejected criticism about spending on such consultants when rates are rising."
