Conscious Leadership Development
We see leadership development as an experiential learning process with two primary components:
- Internal Awareness: leader development of deeper clarity as to their values, what is most important to them and the impacts they would like to create for themselves, their business and their community.
- External Execution: leader development of the ability to express their aspirations and goals in a way that stimulates others to align, engage and effectively create the intended outcomes.
The Integrative Leadership approach serves as the framework for our leader development work with learning modules in each of the four dimensions. We customize and adapt our core content to meet the business needs and applications of our clients. Learning formats vary from 1, 2 and 3 day programs to year long programs that integrate a wide range of learning experiences and content. We often use experiential exercises in conjunction with assessment tool debriefs such as the The Leadership Circle 360 to deepen learning. In this way we maintain an essential thread of stimulating the expansion of mindsets and emotional intelligence as foundational dimensions to build leader character and effectiveness.
The following are core areas of developmental focus:
INSIGHT: Mindsets and Awareness
- Growing Leadership mindsets
- Dissolving Reactive mindsets
- Managing Emotional Reactivity
- Identifying Values and Your “Leadership Stake”
- Leveraging Polarities and Paradoxes
INTERACTIONS: Relationship Engagement
- Communications Skills
- Partnership and Collaboration
- Difficult Conversations
- Mentoring and Coaching
INFRASTRUCTURE: Structure and Processes
- Strategic Planning
- Organizing for Collaboration
- Meeting Governance
- Organizing for High Potential Development

IMPACT: Achievement and Accountability
- Decision Making
- Strategic Thinking
- Integrity and Execution
Our programs endeavor to develop holistic learning experiences that include portions or sequence learning from each of the Integrative Leadership dimensions. We take an action learning approach that focuses on real life cases, experiential experiences and relevant exercises to enable learning.
