Conscious Leadership
A Workshop that Accelerates Mastery

In the midst of chaos, pressure, and uncertainty, today's leaders must be able to define and implement bold vision, build alliances, resolve charged issues, and motivate collaborators. Successful leadership calls for an embodied way of being that is composed (centered and grounded) while being focused in action and flexible in execution. It is the "who and how" a person is that distinguishes inspiring leaders from the rest. Many otherwise excellent approaches to leadership development skip this important dimension of what is crucial to masterful leadership.

Conscious Leadership draws upon a blend of business acumen, science, somatics* and the principles of martial arts that have been consistently proven to work in corporations, government, and the military. Participants focus on their specific challenges and commitments and take away functional practices, not just interesting concepts.

In this experiential course, you will:

  • Develop your awareness of leadership presence and identity
  • Clarify your purpose and take a stand for what is important
  • Act decisively while managing relationships
  • Build your skills of collaboration and resolving differences
  • Gain more choices in how you act in challenging situations
  • Identify leverage points for your on-going development
  • Design practices that sustain your aliveness and well-being

Participants include executives, managers, business owners, entrepreneurs, educators, physicians, consultants, coaches, and community leaders. Attending with team members and partners accelerates the benefits.

Comments from Conscious Leadership Participants

This is an active, integrated leadership model that can immediately benefit participants and companies looking to be more effective and profitable. (CFO)

As a result of this course, I am improving my reactions, attitude, stress levels, and outlook. I respond in a more effective manner, getting better results and setting a better example. (Project Manager)

The approach of this course was completely different from anything I have taken. It would be very valuable for the engineering minds I associate with. (Boeing Engineer)

This course offers clarity around centering, assessments, defining standards. Very helpful to anyone who wants to learn to work effectively with their team and to take charge of their own life. (Director of Nonprofit Agency)

This course is an amazing value and should be a required course for any individual or organization serious about making a difference. (Physician)

I learned a ton of incredibly useful information that I didn’t know I needed to know. Anyone with responsibility for managing people and projects needs this course. (Microsoft Manager)

I admit I arrived reluctant and quite skeptical of what sounded like a psychology course. But I came away with a new orientation to what really makes me effective—or not. And real live skills for operating differently. Wish everyone in my organization would take this course, then we would really get things done! (Attorney)

Learning how to effectively give and receive assessments/feedback has saved $50/K a year in attrition mitigation of FTE's based on the cost to hire a new associate and the related training. And that just in our department. (IT Manager, Hewlett-Packard)

I am now regularly asked to collaborate in designing projects and staff development. Best of all, how I am seen has shifted from resentful naysayer to champion of collaboration and creativity! (Sales Manager)

Because of the Leadership work, I saw how creating a positive identity for my team enabled us to make more powerful offers such as negotiating contracts. A recent negotiation resulted in $12 million savings annually for the company. (Strategic Partnerships Manager)
