“The best organizations are ones in which leaders walk the talk and reveal the meaning in each person's task. People are invigorated by their work and feel a sense of balance and completeness, a sense of effectiveness and competency, a sense of autonomy, initiative, belonging and creativity.”

Be the Love You Wantto See in the World Bring love out of the corporate closet. If we want love in our enterprises, we

must embody that love in ourselves. Seek to eliminate fear. Promote on the basis of love capacity. Express love and care even when

facing difficult decisions. Use appreciations, which are

transformative in helping to create a workplace of love and care.

Becoming a Conscious Leader Requires High Intentionality and Purpose

“We have reached such explosive levels of

freedom that we are now in charge of our own

mutation.”-Peter Kastenbaum

“Know Thyself”

Follow Your

Heart

Life Is about Learning and Growing

Take chances, and be willing to make mistakes.

Grow through your relationships. Practice forgiveness. Everyone is trying to help you to

wake up.

Evolve to Higher Consciousness

in Stages Conscious leaders are dynamic and

evolving. Growth proceeds through distinct

stages or waves of development. Avoid being stuck in rigid ideological

orthodoxy – strive to evolve your consciousness upwards.

Role Models • An important and

time-tested way to grow

• Practice their qualities and virtues.

• Ask yourself, “What would they do?”

Coaches & Mentors• Give you the

foundation to make fewer mistakes and learn quickly from those you do make

• Accelerate your growth

Find Role Models, Coaches & Mentors

Stay with the process. Expand your consciousness wider,

open your heart and mind further, and make yourself even more vulnerable.

Engage in spiritual practices.

Set Time Aside for Self-Awareness

Just as we shouldn’t fill our bodies with junk food, we shouldn’t fill our minds with junk ideas that have little real substance.

The world’s collective knowledge and wisdom is at our fingertips – available to access anytime, anyplace and virtually for free!

Study Timeless Wisdom

Personal Growth Is a Choice

That is the Hero’s Journey!

Our greatest challenge is to manage and lead ourselves.

It is also our greatest opportunity for service, and the rewards are

virtually limitless.

First, we must become more conscious. Then, we must share our wisdom

with our organizations and society.

Adapted from Lynne Twist

Those of us alive today have the opportunity to lead the most meaningful lives ever lived. Our challenges are great, but so is our

entrepreneurial creativity.

We have all the tools we need; we just need to unleash human innovation and creativity on our

challenges. There are no problems we are incapable of solving.

You have the power to be a

conscious leader.
