from your wounds, but rather from a strong emotional core. Your physical self is just as important, and you will have understood that taking care of your physical wellbeing is a pre-requirement to emotional and mental mastery. You will have put in place practices that support your potential and you will have developed the ability to break free from unhealthy habits or addictions. And finally, on a spiritual level, you will have become in tune with your purpose, and find yourself operating with an awareness of your intuition, delved into and developed a robust understanding of spiritual technologies and stepped into your level of conscious leadership. It is by developing your own conscious leadership that you will be fully able to take on leadership of others. personal vision of positive impact. You will have learned to trust your
renders them incapable of making a choice. They have lost trust in their ability to make the right decision. These people (and there are many) view consciousness as an illusion and so they are reluctant, or even refuse to undertake action that will make them more self-aware. The other side of the coin is that leaders who appear to find themselves celebrating win after win have a very distinct characteristic. For them, decision-making is easy. They seem to do everything the right way, at the right time. They always seem confident and always ‘in the flow.’ They are continuously on the move, making accurate decisions and expanding in all areas of their lives. The leaders who fall under this category see consciousness as a truth. They work on themselves continually to achieve higher levels of consciousness. For them, there is an innate understanding that in order to access or maintain higher levels of leadership, they must embrace the ‘conscious path’ in order to stay ahead. These are ‘conscious leaders’. Conscious leadership in practice If you have the awareness of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body, then you are well on the way to conscious leadership. Without self-awareness and self-leadership, nothing can develop: you have to work on yourself first. Consciousness works on the personal aspects of the ‘healed healer’. In the first instance, on a mental level, you have developed
leader practises emotional agility, and has the capacity to maintain expansive emotions such as self-confidence, courage, trust, joy, and inner peace, all while minimising emotional triggers and outbursts, and so maintaining a calm demeanour. Without presence, it is extremely hard for any leader to truly level up. 3. Creation. This is the point where you evolve the strategic and execution plan (including the processes and systems) that you have designed from a place of clarity and presence. You will achieve more creative power when you have clear intentions, and you have mastered your emotions. Embracing conscious leadership means committing to a way of life that is all encompassing. It involves living in the spirit of radical truth, where every aspect of your life – every dimension – is aligned with your true inner self, and therefore embodies that truth. It is through this process that you become a conscious leader: self-aware, radically responsible, and focused on forging a positive impact.
Using conscious leadership to create success
Success is multi-layered and comes from within. Whether it is financial success, inner peace or making an impact, you need to experience a perfect equilibrium in all aspects of your life. Many people are only able to measure their effectiveness as leaders by looking back at the success they’ve achieved. Working with many clients, I am always surprised that success comes so much more easily to some than to others. What is the difference between those who grasp success with ease, and those who struggle to attain it? One of the most noticeable differences is that those who struggle to achieve their goals often have just as hard a time making decisions – to the point where they are sometimes virtually paralysed with indecision. They become frozen because of the fear or frustration they feel – to the extent that it
