Inspiration for Conscious Presence

My philosophy and intention for growing capability in conscious leadership was reflected back to me during a recent strategy discussion for my son’s school when we were asked the question:

What would you like to see in 30 years from now, as a result of your children having been educated and nurtured at this school?

I envisioned and had a palpable sense of adults who:

  • Embody a profound sense of connection, grounding, and inner centeredness.

  • Demonstrate attunement, not only to others but also to the broader needs of society and the planet.

  • Tap into their own reservoirs of wisdom while also embracing the deep insights and perspectives of others, fostering systemic thinking and continuous growth.

  • Bring forth an elevated consciousness to confront the multifaceted challenges posed by technological advancements, environmental degradation, and human crises.

  • Engage in purposeful and inspired actions, making significant contributions to the betterment of society and the preservation of our planet.

“I felt moved by this vision and the needs and hopes it contained and then I realised: it was an echo of what I help to unleash in my clients through Conscious Presence.”
