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

Heart

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

evolving. Growth proceeds through distinct
stages or waves of development. Avoid being stuck in rigid ideological
orthodoxy – strive to evolve your consciousness upwards.

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.
